I started my collection of Old Hickory pocket knives in 1974, got my last one this week. They are all in unused condition. Display case is an orginal store case. I changed the inside to display them in a better maner.

Great thread Terry. I wanted to add to it when I first saw it. I'm glad it was brought to the top again. I will try to add some pics this weekend. I've had many over the years. I only kept some of my favorites. I kept the springers that Nimble1 had mentioned and a couple of odds and ends. Great collection, it's a very collectable area in and of itself. Thanks for sharing.

It's nice to see that others here collect pocket knives as well , I have come into a few that i have been holding on to you might like to see.

back

two i dont know but there neat

I've been collecting pocketknives since about 1980. I started with vintage to antique American knives, then vintage to antique German made knives.

I like Case, Schrade, Queen, Buck Creek (1979-1988) and New York Knife Co. to name a few.

The metal, glass & wood New York Knife Co. "Hammer Brand" display case with gold crush interior came from a Jersey City Hardware store as I was told.

I found it in a small antique store in upstate New York for $20.00 about 2002. The middle, knife support rack, was removed and is missing from the display case.

some really nice pieces here!

My humble gathering.....

Swiss Army

Not the commercial stuff but the real ones issued to Swiss Army enlisted* men. I got them about 40 years ago from a colonel when I lived in Geneva in Switzerland.

Three generations with the top one - the largest - being the original 1891 model. The first 1891 knives had wood side plates. Mine is (I think) about a third iteration with synthetic sides.

Note no corkscrew.

Dave

* There was an "Officer version" version offered for sale in canteens/PXs that had a corkscrew, but it was not an issue piece.

PS - A new knife, also used by the German Army, was recently introduced.

Here are a few more of my favorite pocketknives.

It's good to check on these knives every couple of months.

I have not been buying the American made knives in the last couple of years except for the New York Knife Co. "Hammer Brand" display boxes with the gold & green crush and the celluloid pulls.

Correction: Winstead (sic), (Winsted).

American Knife Co. Winsted, Conn, from 1919 to 1955 and a rating of high. Goins lists the dates as 1919-1948 and shows a small history of the company. It was re-named the Kendal Mfg. Co. in 1948 and in the same year the name was changed again to Bukar Mfg. Co. In 1955 the Great Flood hit Connecticut and the entire business was washed away.
