I have been searching for and buying vintage pocket knives for a while now. . I love these old beauties and I love restoring them. Keep em coming..........

Beautiful pieces. I saw some things in this video that I never knew about - and I thought I knew about knives! I’ve been a modern knife guy for so long that I forgotten that these wonderful old folders even existed. Local knife shows in my area have reinvigorated my interest. Thank you so much for a lovely video.

I love antique knives. And love the background story's.

My dad had a wood box in his dresser that had knives like yours. He always carried a pocket knife, gave me one when I was about 7. Good thing my mother never knew the times I cut myself, until I learned to be careful. Thanks for sharing your collection with us. Best to you.

I absolutely love small antique knives! Please keep the videos coming as your collection grows. Your comment about not really needing to carry a big knife for daily use is absolutely true for the majority of us. Especially retired guys like me that have both the time and funds available for the hobby.

I’ve always loved these older knives. Reminds me of seeing my grandfather with his knife. He carried it everyday in his work pants pocket. Now I do and I’ve gotten my son interested in them. They’re just beautiful.

Much rather see this sort of stuff than another overbuilt modern folder (yawn). Those are beautiful.

Only just found this vid and really enjoyed it. There's something very different about older pocket knives that is quite attractive. Quiet simplicity and class I think.

I love them, I also just recently was gifted with some very old family knives. Best video ever!

Love the antique pocket knives - thanks for sharing

I really like this video It encouraged me to start looking for old pen and advertising grooming knives in the local antique shops Thanks Paddy

Keep'em coming Paddy! nothin' like peel'n taters with a antique knife😂

You are spot on Paddy. Great video!

Being old, I believe older is better 😁👴 Love to see rhe old ones Paddy !

Rockwell hardness of copper wire is 40. An aluminum soda can is 28, an aluminum food can is 34. The newest Premium knife steel like M390, CPM-M4, CTS-204P and all the rest is universally between 60 to 70. 1095 possibly the most basic cutlery steel, is 56-58. So let me ask you this. What in the hell are you cutting during your normal day that you would need a $400 to $800 folding knife with the latest Premium knife steel? Unless you are cutting through hafnium you're probably safe having a 1095 or 440C pocket knife. Fabulous knife videos Paddy. I like the vintage pocket knives also.

Just bought a couple of vintage knives..............so yes keep the vintage stuff coming.

Amazing pocket knifes.

I say keep them coming . I love antique knives . They are a big part of my collection . I think finding them and acquiring them is one of my favorite parts of this hobby for me .

Couldn't agree more with what you said paddy , beautiful knives keep it going ✋

Very cool fruit knife. Never thought of a silver fruit knife. Makes me want to make a timascus bladed fruit knife.

Definitely gentlemans pocket knives. Love em

I have liked these types of knives.

Definitely like these kinds of videos. The history of those knives is part of what makes this hobby fun! Cheers, Paddy!

Those are some elegant looking knives. I like the swell end knife :) That is some nice MOP.

Loving the old small knives!

Very cool. Love the old knives.

love the old knives, the character and period workmanship can't be beat. You can have a modern massed produced knife that is indistinguishable from a million identical knives or you can have something that time has imbued with its own unique individuality. My own EDC is a 3" Douk Douk so I completely agree about the functionality - at any rate if they weren't functional working people wouldn't have parted with a substantial chunk of their hard earned wages to acquire them. Thanks for sharing these and look forward to seeing more of them!

I love the tiny pen Knives,,

Wow amazing piece

Please keep sharing your antique knives. I love to see them and hear the history (that's the romantic in me). I like it when a channel "wanders" somewhat and follows the maker's interests. This is is much more than just a knife channel, it's a channel about you and your interests Paddy. Just my 2¢. Thanks. 👍

I love antique knives keep them comin!

I love all of your videos, whether they’re old or new! Keep’em coming!

That's a wicked looking cut on your finger. When did that happen? Maybe you'll have a scar. We all love scars!

Yes, keep the old stuff coming! They usually have more character than the more recent stuff, and the quality is as good or better than more recently made pieces. Sounds like you got some good bargains, especially the "camel bone", which to me is really beautiful. Hope to see more in the future!

I enjoy watching your journey of collecting these antique knives - keep ‘em coming 👍👍 your collection is coming along nicely!

Rare and nice collection

I luv these Paddy, keep agoin' with your collection it's wonderful.

Keep doing it Paddy it keeps the history alive,thanks.

Yes please continue with the old knives 👍

Thanks Paddy another great video, very interesting, keep them coming, probably my oldest knife is a Herbert Robinson, name stamped with hand forged on each side of the two blades, not too sure of the age, probably early 1900’s Thanks again Take care Sammy

You're getting a beautifully rounded collection! If those knives could only talk!

What could be better than a beautiful old thing that someone has loved and used and carried around? I always feel a little bad for the pristine MIB collectors’ knives that sit in boxes. You know they are aching to whittle a stick.

The antique knives give us a bit of a history lesson and I am very interested in that aspect! Very good looking knives Paddy! Thanks for sharing!!

Absolutely, if I can find them in reasonable condition. The quality and workmanship I believe would be outstanding…I’m always looking for a knife like these in antique stores, haven’t seen any though, scarce as hens teeth

Hello Paddy . You were a wealth of information on the two knives that you covered , but I kept waiting in vain for a look and perhaps some info on the others . Especially the all stainless steel model as I have an IXL that is very similar . Nothing wrong with what you covered , but you simply left me wanting more .

Any of them would look good when dressed up.very smart!

Yes please Paddy keep these antique knife videos coming! I have a few of these old knives and my dad has been collecting the silver fruit knives for years. My frustration is not knowing what the covers are made from,could be ivory,camel bone ,bakelite,delrin,cow bone not sure but will appreciate your knowledge!👍

Beautiful collection Paddy!

Really like the Mother of Pearl knife. What a great looking knife. Silver blade not something you would want to sharpen much. Very interesting part of the hobby.

Love the videos paddy

Definately like these types of vids paddy!! Would like to see more of them.

PS love your channel.

love vintage knives, everything about them

Beautiful

nice one! have a great weekend my friend ; ) greetings from germany

Fantastic valoración !

I really like them too. I don't ever find real old knives that are not used up and really shot. Which isn't useful to me. But if I found any idea pick them up. For me shipping isn't worth it to the usa.

I have almost the exact same knife as your mother of pearl one!

The one back left, is it a Taylor’s? I have a modern Taylor’s in the same pattern, but with ram’s horn covers. A great blade combo! I love that fruit knife. If ever there was a gentleman’s knife!

Yes love antique knives!!!!!!! :)

Love this give me more

Awesome knives and video! Keep them coming! As far as l know fruit knives would lose their snap very fast while used for hardness difference reason (back springs are much harder). Also from what l read , in England mother of pearl for fruit knives was processed mainly by poor women and it was super toxic so many lost their health and life just after a few years of working in this industry. Where do you get the information about such antique stuff?

These are the ONLY ones I like !!!

Only 30 pounds for a truly beautiful knife.

I love old stuff picked up at flea markets, how much would a carbon steel blade with mother of pearl scales cost you new today

I found one today Sheffield england ot has a pill crusher a spike to take out cottons from medecine bottle andxa blade to scrape crushed pills and i paid one dollar for it

Which one bit the end of your finger Paddy? :o

Pre 1950s law didn't require country of origin

any more of the knife in the center of the table there?

wanted to see the dog tag knife.

I have some Ibbotson , Rogers and Wolsterholm penknife’s Can I ask you if they are worth selling, all pretty good condition?

He grew up in Ireland born 1934

A real pocket knife is one you don’t know you have but it’s there when you need it.

Hey mate, I'd like to send you a knife. Where do I ship it?
