asmurff Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 The work knife I carried for 21 years in the Air Force, it is a Gerber lockblade skinner.
Microgunner Posted October 14, 2010 Report Posted October 14, 2010 I own a bunch of knives and this is one of my favorites. It's a handmade Tommy Lee (the knife maker not the drummer) boot dagger in Damascus steel with mastodon tusk ivory scales. It came with a hand made leather sheath. It's quite spectacular.
lmao_37 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Posted October 15, 2010 holy cow thats nice :thumb: You beat me to it but wow what a nice knife
Microgunner Posted October 15, 2010 Report Posted October 15, 2010 Thank you, I enjoy fondling this knife very much but I never use it. I carry much more pedestrian knives. This one is for show only (although I'd use it in a pinch).

asmurff Posted October 16, 2010 Report Posted October 16, 2010 No I was a Munitions Maintenance Specialist.
rodent.22 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Posted October 16, 2010 One of my buddies in Thailand was loading a flare cannister in 1972, it went off and burned the hell out of him....I haven't seen him since '72. He's a retired cop in Arizona now.
rodent.22 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Posted October 16, 2010 Here's a couple of Case Hobo knives- They look like normal knives, open the blades and the handles slide apart. The blade and fork knife I gave to my Dad about 25 years ago. It was returned to me when he died. The blade, fork, and spoon knife was a gift from my wife about 5 years ago. Both very unusual knives, LOL.
imschur Posted October 16, 2010 Author Report Posted October 16, 2010 wow thats pretty slick, thanks for posting them
rodent.22 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Posted October 16, 2010 My Dad loved Case knives. Over a 25 year period I gave him an average of 3 knives a year, mostly Case XX. I gave him 75-80 Case knives from 1980-2007. He told me before he died he wanted me to have them back, and his wife said sure. After he passed away, 60 of those knives disappeared. I was told her two adult sons went thru his stuff. They probably pawned them. Oh well at least he got the enjoyment out of them. Some in the pictures are cheap import knives, many Xmas gifts from vendors at my employment. Several from a good shooting friend who died unexpectedly last year.
Microgunner Posted October 16, 2010 Report Posted October 16, 2010 rodent, those hobo knives are the coolest thing I've ever seen. Are those still being made?
rodent.22 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Posted October 16, 2010 You know MG I bought the only two I've ever seen since 1980 and these 2 are them....
imschur Posted October 16, 2010 Author Report Posted October 16, 2010 Great stuff. Thanks for taking the time to post it.

asmurff Posted October 16, 2010 Report Posted October 16, 2010 The originals were even nastier looking.
