I went over to a new friend's house the other day and he decided to show me some of his goodies. He has a real fondness for Remington pocket knives.

Here's just his pocket knives that are out for display.

He's not against fixed knives. The top right one is his personal KaBar from Vietnam. The two below it are "KaBars" from WWII (different makers). The knife on the bottom left is very interesting.

The above mentioned bottom, left knife. It is some sort of pocket/fixed blade mix from Sweden that I think was handmade in 1873. The blade folds into a liner which is then inserted into the handle. The blade is folded into the liner for storage in handle for pocket carry or the blade is extended and inserted into the handle for use. There is a small spring latch next to the ring that unlocks the blade/liner.

The battery in my camera was dying so I couldn't take any more photos. He let me examine his Confederate sword and collection of Green River knives. We then moved on to his small gun collection which included a 1873 trapdoor sprinfield and an Enfield-Snider.
Yup, I think that's a friend that I'll try to keep.
