The humble little pen knife

Klaas, Germany, all steel, stainless c 1950s Horn shadow

 

I * XL England c.1950s/60s Cell- French Ivory

 

For what it's worth, I've read that the "Eisenhower" pen was Ike's favorite knife to give to visiting dignitaries, but the Case small stockman was what he actually carried.

 

That is a great one. I won the giveaway:

Showoff!
Cool collection, Jack.

 

Thank you John, a gift from Charlie

Thanks Vince

 

I have a few. Here are a Robeson and a Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett

 

Great tread everybody.

Jack Black - outstanding collection man!

 

Thanks for the correction. I wonder how much CASE had to pay to secure the president's signature as a blade etch?

 

These are outstanding examples, real quality .

Regards, Will

 

Classic

Thanks Ray

 

Another Richards of Sheffield.

 

I don't know. What i'm sure is that today a president would have to pay for this.

Camillobuck, Camillus, and a tiny Boker stockman that I mistook for an open stock Schrade pen. Oops.

Added for scale. Yeah, that's it.

 

Three Case knives that may or may not qualify. All have 2 blades on opposite ends of the frame, so they have that going for them.

I wish I had picture capability but I don't. My favorite small knife is a Wenger Patriot with metal scales. Completely open it's 7-1/8 inches long. Closed it's 3-3/8. The width is 3/16 of an inch. The large blade is 2-1/4" the small is 1-5/8". I've been carrying this monster around for 15 or 18 years and I'll be heartbroken if I ever lose or break it.

 

I could post a few Quill Knives if you think they'd fit here @Hickory n steel ?
