What’s your favorite knife?

[Matchstickshooter]

I remember those David!

Speaking of odd small knives, this is a Case pen knife I got as a graduation present from Air Force basic training some 45 years ago.
 "Ex"Father-in-Law was a Brig General and was very proud of a lowly punk A1C soon to be Crew Chief.. and hand wrote a note on the cardboard sleeve.
R.I.P. Charlie.

Cool! It's a pen AND a knife!

[bantam5s]

That's a cool one I've never seen.
There aren't a lot of literal pen knives, and most of them are cheap novelties.
I wonder if Case maybe partnered with Cross or Parker for the pen ?
I'd most expect CROSS.

Case was offering a lot of interesting stuff back in the 80's, they were owned by Jim parker ( from Parker Cutlery and Parker Frost ) at the time and he liked to do tons of collectable type stuff.

Here are a few knives I found when cleaning out my fathers house 30 years ago.   He had a bunch of knives (mostly military) and bayonets but I don't ever recall him carrying a knife.   Always had a couple guns on him though.   The little 5" German Solingen I keep on my desk as a letter opener.  There's a little corrosion so maybe it's carbon steel and not stainless?  I don't know much about knives.   

The made in USA Anvil has probably been shuffled around desk drawers since new and the blade looks like it's never been sharpened.   Too bad about the corrosion staining.

The Queen Big Chief is a favorite of mine.   It's in really nice condition and I'm sure it has never been sharpened since new.

I'm guessing that these three knives are from the 60s.

I like those especially that Big Chief

 A couple years ago, One winter morning I got up had coffee and had an urge to get ready and go do something, I'll call it "stay put anxiety" which I do get when the right part of the cycle comes around.
 I go out and start the ATV and not long later a woman in her 50s walks by heading down the road into town. Not a minute later I hear dogs barking then hear a woman let out a loud scream a terrifying sound by any means. I look and see the woman being attacked by two dogs. I turned off my ATV and ran the 100 meters to stop the dogs. I get there and 2 brown white pitbulls are attacking the woman all while she is screaming in sheer horror. That sounded scary hearing a woman that scared !!!!.
 When I got within 10 meters of the woman and dogs I let out the loudest roar I have ever let out. It was Soo deep and loud that the woman in her own fear of the dogs, screamed and jumped from my roar. Next I drew my knife and told the woman to get behind me. As the woman moved behind me the two dogs turned thier attention to me. My stance was low and wide with both arms spread out to intercept the attacks the dogs may try. The dogs got within 1 meter of me but not any closer. For around a minute I yelled at top of my lungs in my defensive stance yelling obscene explicit words to the dogs. I did not back down I challenged the two dogs slowly moving forward as they both bark, one at 10 o'clock and other 2 o'clock position. The Spring Assisted Half Serrated Tanto Knife gave me the courage to stand up to the two dogs. It seemed like a long time but it wasn't Soo, after a minute of that, I hear, " hey you eff dogs get over here". At that the two dogs returned to their master.
 I asked the woman if she was ok as she was frightened beyond tears, trembling she tells me the dogs bit her forearm and lower thigh.
Later she was taken care of at the local clinic. The dogs were reported to the cops in which the two brown white Pitbulls were taken to be rid of their life.
 The knife i used that time was a gift from my childrens uncle, a locally available model nothing special other than it being a Christmas gift. The penetration ability of a tanto blade is something worth a note.

WOW Nukall.. that is one courageous act you performed!
Reading this, I was beside myself... can't imagine how it was for you. 

[Nukall856]

Thankyou Hoosier Daddy,
 It is very good to see you well and back in GTA. As I was writing the post I was remembering how it all was and felt and even had a little adrenaline rush from thinking it through. Knives are an important tool in life... Remember a knife is Not a prying tool XD XP.
 Excellent Work Stay Alert

Yes , that little hunting knife made in Solingen Germany has a carbon steel blade and is from the 50's-60's.
That Anvil brand knife was a line made by Colonial cutlery out of Providence Rhode island.
They were made from the 70's-90's.
I can't tell in the picture because it's too dark, but are the blades rusty or just dark from patina ?

I swear some people should just not be allowed to have dogs of any kind.
A person like that I wouldn't even trust with a chihuahua, I don't wanna know how vicious of a little ankle biter that guy could raise.

Well done brother!  👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

And of course, the Buck 110

I really like the BUCK with the burlap scales… 👌🏼

Here’s another knife that I don’t like but I acknowledge that it can be a useful tool in the right circumstance.  You’ve probably seen these “horse shoe” knives around.  Isn’t it interesting how if people know that you like knives they will dump all sorts of trash on you as gifts?  Someone gave me this a few year back.  I think they were regifting.  It’s a nice size and the blade has a wonderful profile for skinning small game.  It’s also carbon steel.  The blade is thick enough and robust enough to chop through small bones and joints without nicking or denting.  It really holds an edge well.  The handle is awful.  I ended up wrapping it in paracord but I treat it with respect.  This is a knife you could easily cut yourself with especially if things are bloody.

Rather unique.  I really like it!

That one is from about 5 years ago, an outfit that worked with Buck. They would get a short run and put custom scales on Buck knives, sometimes the run was done with premium blades. Buck terminated the relationship shortly after I bought my knives (one was a gift for an old friend).

There's a small amount of corrosion.   They look darkish because of the photo angle and lighting.

David, that sounds familiar,  you are right more than likely.
