- Topic: Tobias, bet you haven't got this multi-knife --LOL
- e of its most prized items on display is an unspeakable cool folding multi-tool device that puts a Swiss Army knife to shame. The tool features a knife, a spoon, a three-tined fork, a spike, a spatula, and a small pick. The spike may have been used as an escargot extraction device (snails were a very popular food in ancient Rome), and the pick may have been a toothpick. Archaeologists think the spatula may have helped pull sauce out of narrow-necked bottles. It was made out of silver sometime between 200 A.D. and 300 A.D. Roman folding knives are not uncommon, but most of them are made out of bronze and have fewer parts. This is the ultra-deluxe version, and so probably belonged to a wealthy person who traveled a lot, like a merchant. …

- Comment on: Topic 'Low End Production Knives -Is This The End?'
- s you liked and your interests in a sense matured. What causes me concern and the reason I posted this is because what if knife companies eliminated the "low end" and instead offered more expensive varieties. Where do the first time customers come from? BTW I am old and feel like it everyday! lol Chris Hillier said: I am neither young nor old, although there are mornings that i certainly feel one way or the other. I only seriously started amassing knives, more expensive ones that is now that i am more financially settled. People may laugh that I dont have a particular brand i collect, i buy what appeals to me. When i started it was the cheaper versions that allowed me to own enough knives, that were cheap enough to use, that allowed me to formulate what works for me and what is hog wash (excuse the reference Hog). You get what you pay for, in most cases. I'm glad that the knife industry is such that it allowed me to make up MY mind. Now i can focus my money where my hand is, not buying flashy ad queens! …

- ogue that they offered in 1997 for my then 5 year anniversary. Because Michael C Spina provides this service for multiple companies, I assumed that they got the 1997 Sodbuster new from Case and engraved the logo themselves. 1997 would have been my 5 yrear anniversary. peter force said: @johnactually it turns out.. IM A NERD SO I HAD TO LOOK AND THEY WENT OLE FASHIONED ON YA. i collect a ton! of adknives.. tunrs out you were right in a way. most ad knives such as these normally will do aa THROWBACK ..in this case they did. most ad knives when you research them. turn out to be the original owner/creators name..but plural.in this case it was a MR WALGREEN that you would have worked for at one time.. here enjoy the little history i found on your companies website.. pretty neat knife.. hope this ads to the fun of owning it! in the early 1900's you would have worked for MR WALGREEN.even look this link has the original sign.witha further look im sure me or you could dig up the exact emblem that is on your knife.as im sure thats what CASE KNIVES went with.http://www.walgreens.com/marketing/about/history/default.jsp JUST CLICK! John McCain said: Ron, thank you for playing, I know it was a real poser ! LOL Ken, you were SOOOO close- Apparently, the engraver did not know how to spell the letter "S" at the end. So, Apparently, all these years I thought I was working for Walgreens I must have been working for " Walgreen". …

- Comment on: Topic 'EMERSON KNIVES iKC Forum'
- like autos, so when the Emerson Gerber collaboration was released last year I grabbed one up. I was disappointed with the two buttons (lock & safety) being so close together and small. Recently I was looking at a Blade Magazine from 1996 and saw an ad for a Gerber auto the looked exactly like the supposed new Emerson Gerber collaboration. Anyone know the story about these two knives? I also recently picked up one of the Emerson Kershaw collaborations and couldn't be happier. I'm looking for one of the Emerson Benchmade 9700's, but haven't found one. Of pure Emerson's, I own a CQC-7 and a Super Commander. …

- e but the quality is about the same as a Rough Rider. The label cutting blade (the short blade on the cap) is a a little rough to open which is also the case on the Rough Riders and probably even the original Case knives. It is operated by the two springs controlling the spear master and pen blades but being much shorter it isn't as easy to get leverage on it. The label cutter, reminds me of the old tire slasher blades on the old SOE knives. Left to Right: U.S. Classic copy of Case pattern 130, Bulgarian bartender , Hen & Rooster "Stanhope", Rite Edge Laguiole (Picnic), Becker Bartender's tool, Camco Ad-knife, RR lady's Leg, Sheffield Gentleman's knife. Smiling-Knife said: 0ooh that looks good. Thanks. I collect corkscrews and knives, thus knives with corkscrews are of particular interest to me. I'd like to read your opinion on the knife if you don't mind sharing it please. …

- Comment on: Photo 'Taylor Cutlery One Armed Razor Lockblade 2'
- multi-million dollar business, Taylor Brands LLC. Today, Taylor Brands is the official manufacturer and wholesale distributor of Smith & Wesson and Schrade knives and sells to 65 countries. Taylor started selling knives while still a student at Emory & Henry College. At the time, he ran a small ad in "Coin Magazine" selling a Coca-Cola bottle-shaped knife that cost him $10 each. He sold the knife for $25 and, within a week, made $150. Back then, that was pretty good money for a college student. Taylor decided to see if he could get the knife produced at a reduced price. He wrote to 16 U.S. and three Japanese knife manufacturers. Not one of the 16 U.S. companies responded. One Japanese manufacturer offered to produce Taylor’s $10 knife for 50 cents apiece. Taylor always had an entrepreneurial spirit and, at age 16, purchased a house on Elizabeth Street in Kingsport. During college, he made enough money to repay the $5,000 home loan. He used that collateral to borrow $5,000 from First American Bank to secure production of his knives in Japan. …

- Comment on: Group 'Knife Pattern Collectors'
- appears to be a shackle wrench, incorporating another boat essential. The main blade is partially serrated, necessary for making short work of whale blubber. The soft-plastic handle encloses the folding function and provides a half-stop for the blades. The handle will glow in the dark after a breif exposure to sunlight or even bathroom light, which is how I know this. The knife came to me working correctly, but the handle was pretty dirty. Both blades look unused and are extremely stiff; I oiled them with no improvement; I hammered a spacer-blade that I keep on the bench for opening up too-tight joints, but got no improvement. I hesitate to go any further because the whole is enclosed with plastic; I'd hate to over-loosen the mechanism and fail to get it closed up again. Tang stamp reads: FRANCE . Blade is stamped WICHARD, and the ad on the handle reads (in English): West Marine. Anyway, that's my find of the week. …
