I have been looking @PXL models and F1 (for fixed blade)... U2, U4 and U1 haven't made it for me.... Few Tre Kronor models are also nice... But this one is just  :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

Imagine that one with OHO and nice fancy deep pocket carry clip....  :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

Ok I have been drooling over the PXL models as well as the Black Hawk, but have began limiting myself to one knife per manufacturer as my wishlist is already to big  ???

Who are you kiddin' really?!?  :D :D ;) ;) :pok: :pok: :pok: :pok:

Two more Cases to add to the family, littleuns this time.  :)



At top is a Pattern #0096, the tiny toothpick in CV.  It lives up to its name, being quite small, but fits perfectly in the fifth pocket of my jeans and is a handy little sucker that's seeing a fair bit of time at the store.  I'm really liking it so far.  :tu:  The even smaller one there is a Pattern #154, the tiny trapper.  I was told it was small before I got it, but wasn't ready for that!   :ahhh  This one is in stainless, with a Wharncliffe blade, and is so marked with a "W" after the pattern number.  The scales are bone, with a snakeskin pattern, hence the "Rattlesnake" markings on the blade.  This also came with a tin marked the same.  I've always liked little knives, and this one is a gem.  The fit and finish are perfect, good snap.  And in keeping with tradition, it was carried today and used a bit.  :)  Gonna take a lot more than some fancy markings to keep a knife or tool out of my pocket.....

Nice tiny toothpick. :tu:

If the tiny toothpick is tiny, just how small is the tiny trapper??? Can you show a quarter or something as reference? Thanks. Both are nice little knives, and I like little knives!
Don't get too serious, just enough will do.

Here you go.  :tu:



When I need to cut something on the sales floor at work, I usually use a smaller slipjoint like these.  They do the job just fine and are much less likely to scare the poo out of customers like some of my other blades would....  The toothpick is perfect for putting in the fifth pocket and forgetting about until you need it.  My slippies see a lot of use this way.

Well considering that I have a tendency to use a Recon 1 or an EL01 as a box cutter, I can see where someone might get a bit uncomfortable.....  ::)

Not sure if this classifies as a slippie or not but here's a Spyderco Bug I got from Suveges. I made the big Black 'n Yellow fob for it so I won't lose it :think:

It does indeed count Terry, very nice they are too. :tu:  Though I think that yours is a Honeybee rather than the even smaller Bug.

What's the blade length on it?

What's the blade length on it?

Overall length (not including bail) ~ 84mm
Blade length ~ 56mm
Edge length ~ 51mm (about 3mm shorter than a Cadet)

To be honest Tom, it needs some oil working through it, and maybe even a good thorough soak. I think there's a fair bit of factory gunk in there that needs flushing out

I'm kinda new to the lingo of slippies, since I had no idea what they were in the first place. I just didn't know what they were called, I have quite a few of them :think: W&T? Not sure of the W, the T is travel I :think:

Walk and Talk, Terry.  How smooth do the blades open and close?  Is it snappy or not?  Soft springs or a nail breaker?   That sort of thing.  If F&F is the aesthetic part of the package, the W&T is the functional part.
