It’s been a very long time since I’ve been able to buy pocketknives for myself. I found a couple at a gunshow I walked today. The fella with the table was a bit older fella, and took a few minutes getting up to come over my way. He also was hard of hearing and also talked real quiet.
I leaned over and told my friend, “uh-oh. I got him outta that chair. Now I’m gonna HAVE to buy somethin from him!”
But it was fun visiting with him about the various knives he had out, and I enjoyed helping him dig around looking for a certain one I wanted.
I came away with a couple of Bokers-a 4” congress and a medium stockman with strawberry seed handles. Perspective of the picture makes them seem odd-sized. The congress is bigger than the stockman. They are both right and tight, with a ton of snap and nicely cleaned and sharpened.
It was fun to visit with that old man, and he had some really nice knives that were well-cared for. I’m glad I got him outta that chair.
