The original knife thread.

I don't. It was a present from my kids who told me they got it from "the guy at the Edmonds Farmers Market".

I think I saw that guy's knives at the Fremont Night Market. He had some nice ones!

Victorinox Officier Suisse which I've had since the early 70's, and surprisingly still retains the toothpick.

I bought this knife at Le Bon Marché - Paris in 1983. I was just barely a teenager at the time. It has literally been around the world with me. Genius in simplicity.

Camillus American Wildlife Series, charging bear trapper knife.

Late 30s, Remington R6465 pen knife with a Sheaffer's Lifetime 'Senior' Balance fountain pen. Interesting to see this celluloid scale on this knife as it was considered to be proprietary to Sheaffer and not commonly found in general.

Buck 112 Ranger - Macassar Ebony scales and nickel silver bolsters.

Spyderco remote release I got when I was in the coast guard. The built in caribiner is handy.

Old WWII era Solingen boot knife. Only other one I've ever seen was owned by Jack O'Conner & was featured on an Outdoor Life magazine cover.

This is really nice. One of the better examples that I've seen. Are you able to make out the stamp on the blade? Anton Wingen? Othello?

 

[Jim F.]

Thanks. I passed it along to my Son along with some other of his Grandfather's WWII memoribilia. I'll have him take better photos of both sides of the blade.

The Schade Old Timer filet knife goes back to the 70's.
For serious big fish work, the Dexter scimitar blade rules.

Got this bad boy from @Zak at the swap gathering this past weekend.

That Dexter takes me back to my childhood. Spent most of my teenage summers processing and fishing commercially in Alaska. That knife was the workhorse for heading salmon and cleaning Kings and bigger Chum's.

It's that time of year again. Need to mow a path down to the river.

The original Spyderco Worker C01 in left hand (for the superior species). This is the one that started it all (mostly).

A non-locking version of the Mercator K55K by Kaufmann of Germany.

 

[Replicant]

Boulder era, Western Stockman with natural bone scales. Bird point arrow head was found while I was keeled over, gasping for air and water, while quail hunting, way up in the hills of the San Carlos reservation in Arizona, many years ago. Back then, we didn't know that we were not to take such things.

Some years back I was drinking too much whiskey listening to Guy Clark and figured out what I needed. Well it finally arrived.
Quite a wait time on a knife from them now.

Beautiful. I admire your patience.

Forgot I got on the list to be truthful. All of a sudden balance came due.
Threw the bic in for you.

I had to update my address twice.
