Sorry Mags, Vic et al has been excluded from the challenge... Mainly, it has to be said, in a vain attempt to keep your sort out of it. I'm sorry, but somebody had to say it... got to be cruel to be kind... got to be cruel to be kind...

Thanks just throw me under the bus.  :rofl:

all these - Knives considered traditional would include any of the traditional slipjoint pattern knives including more modern versions like the Lionsteel Shuffler etc. ,  Opinels, Douk Douks, Higos - the Mercator. Friction folders and Lockbacks like the Buck 110.

and these - For purposes of this challenge, if it's got a tang-stamp that says 'Victorinox' or 'Wenger', it is excluded (not that they aren't traditional, but they have their own challenges.). I think Opinels, Douk-douks, Mercators, Laguoiles, and anything that would fit the name of "Jack knife". If it would have looked at home in Grand-dad's or Grand-ma's pocket, I think it will qualify.

Knives would have to have a back spring or back lock, liner locks would be OK if they had a back spring like a boy scout or TL-29 but no Walker liner locks.
Friction folders like the Opinel are good as well.
No thumb studs, spidie holes, flippers or pocket clips.
So a traditional slip joint and a modern slip joint are fine.

On the extreme side the Manly Wasp had a pocket clip but it has been permanently removed so not even the holes show so it could be allowed as well.

Just get yourself a vintage scout knife!  :tu:

FINE! I'm going to start my own challenge on my own then. By myself with no one else even if you beg me. And it's going to be a great challenge with a prize for the winner and two badges and none of you can join in.

And I'm not crying - you're crying!
