These keep getting harder to obtain.
I remember in the 80’s they were at every B&M along with other Sheffield knives and unique tampers.

CRKTs are great !

 

[Snook]

Holy crud, yours are in great condition! I think I have that same Sheffield as you (mine is buffalo horn inlay). I just cleaned it like a week ago and it already looks like this again. Oh well!

Got a Laguiole for photo dressing.

Mostly pocket knives which look like all the others of the same brands. I'm not shooting pictures of Swiss Armys, Liguiols, Cases and all the other ratty, well used knives I have laying about that look like all the others posted here. There are some nice blades here, I must admit though.

I rotate through. Exclude top right one.

They cut right through salty dog bricks.

My guess is the production of these 'pipe knives is far from being lucrative business.yet theres very few pipesmokers who's buying them today no more

I've got a greenwood version of the Rodgers pipe knife. Not as nice as some of the knives on show here but it does a good job and is a step up from their basic version. A lot of history behind the company, as well.


For Salty Dogs & Gawith plugs I use a mini cleaver that cost me about £15. Basic, but it gets the job done.

All of these get used for pipe cleaning tasks and/or plug cutting.

T to B: Opinel Stainless Kids (rounded tip)

Daniel Rohde paring knife in 1095

Can't remember the makers name or even the type - it's a Japanese castration knife. It was a commission, hollow ground on one side, full flat on opposite, W2 steel.

Iron Roots pocket knife in Alabama Damascus w/ walnut scales.

Cheapo Rough Ryder "pipe knife".

 

[BlueRidge]

normally use an opinel 6 or sod buster jr but some plugs are so dense they need a little more arse than a slip joint can offer. generally prefer carbon steel but this small fixed blade is in aeb-l

Are we talking pipe knives, tobacco knives, or both?

 

[condorlover1]

I've already posted pictures! But, did you hear about the Irish Teddy Boy who had a flick hammer?

Fighting knives, 1911s, armalite 15s et al. In this super serious thread

Edit-Guess that’s some sorta FAL instead of an ASsulter fünfzehn?

 

[Wet Dottle]

I had more, but keep loosing them. I have a Case Baby Doc somewhere, but I couldn't find it for this picture. I'm getting one of those Rodgers soon, to match this MOP one.
