When it comes to traditional pocket knives, there is a list of five to ten that everyone should own. Whether they are everyday users or knives that will be added to the collection, make sure to check the following off of your shopping list:
1. Case Russlock
This Case exclusive pattern was introduced in 2000. The knife’s namesake is “Russ” Case, who founded the W.R. Case company. The Russlock pattern features a liner lock mechanism, along with a ‘tail’ at the base of the blade for convenient one-hand opening, similar to that of a traditional straight razor. The Russlock (pattern 1953L) quickly became a favorite among collectors with its unique style and beauty and striking handle materials. The 1953 refers to the year that Russel Case passed away.

2. Buck 110 Folding Hunter
The Buck 110 folding hunter is a classic and iconic knife. The knife was first manufactured in 1963 when Al Buck set out to design a sturdy hunting knife that could fold up easily and take up less room than a traditional straight knife. Within a year, the model 110 became Buck’s best seller! Check out my vintage Buck Knives page as well.
