Title: Show your slip joint's thread!
Post by: Mike, Lord of the Spammers! on August 21, 2008, 10:33:45 PM
While reading through Ben's thread http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,6282.0.html and looking at all the link's and picture's, I just couldn't get excited by all those folder's :-\, there's nothing wrong with them, for the most part there bloody fine knives, but there lacking in that one intangible thing...soul :(

Generally speaking that's to a charge you can't level at a decent slip joint :)

They may be old hat, and past there prime, but they were good enough for our father's and great grandfathers, and there's still a lot to be said for there utility, look's and shear inoffensiveness, not to mention the fact that a good usable one is a fraction of the cost off a decent modern OH folder :)

So please show us your picture's or links to your favourite Trapper's, Congressman's, Sodbusters, Sowbelly, Whittler's and Muskrats :)

I think these qualify as "great grandfathers", because I was told they are from 1930's.  :D They came together with the capsul multi I showed the other day. Duno really know what I'll do with them, they are oiled up and sitting in a sandwich bag together with the multi.

It's such a shame Schrade went the way off the Dodo :(, they made some excellent budget slippies :)

If it's a good one then it's a proper Schrade :), if it's a piece of crap, then it's a Taylor Craplery one ::)

Yes you would- they are usually pretty obvious.

The most easily defined feature will be on the blade tang, where it says either China or USA.  If it's China, then it's a Taylor Cutlery piece of crap.  If the joints and seams are large enough to park an economy car in, it's a Taylor Cutlery piece of crap.  If it snaps in half and bursts into flames when you try to use it, it's a Taylor Cutlery piece of crap.  If you spend hours sharpening it and the edge is still too round to open an envelope, it's a Taylor Cutlery piece of crap.  If you bought it more than three years ago, it's a real Schrade, which honestly wasn't the best quality knife out there, but it beats the pants off the Taylor Cutlery hunks of crap.

Basically, if it's a Taylor Cutlery model, it will be obvious.

By the way, I don't know if I've mentioned this yet but Taylor Cutlery really sucks.  The best part about Taylor Cutlery being a bunch of cheap barstids?  They know their stuff is crap, which is why I haven't been sued yet.  However, they also don't care, because they go to bed at night on mattresses stuffed with money, dreaming about what else they can make the 5 year olds in the sweatshops make for them so they can make even more money.  All while waving Old Glory in people's faces and showing photos of brave US troops in war zones, carrying Schrades.  My guess is they are either pre-Taylor Schrades or those soldiers aren't with us today, or are models posing on tanks.  The only good news is, Taylor knives suck so bad, they fail long before they are needed for a life threatening situation.

Now that we've decided Schrade is not the choice -

What about Buck?m (Though I was looking at their lockbacks, so maybe not the right topic)

Since Taylor hasn't responded to my challenge to prove me wrong, I am thinking of getting a Taylor brand POS and doing a passaround to see what others think of it.  The problem is, for the cost of postage on one of those hunks of crap, you could feed it's "skilled" craftstoddlers for three months.

Still not convinced?  Look at this old thread comparing the US made Schrade Tough Tool and the new Taylor made Tough Tool:

Taylor Brands Schrade ST1 by J-Sews (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,3765.0.html)

Or this one, with the regression fully illustrated:

If I was Monsieur Taylor, I probably wouldn't be bothered much by the opinion of one (or even many) forum goers, because, as you say, I'd be having too much fun rolling in my wads of cash with my nubile pleasure slaves.

Hi folks,

My first post on the open forums so hello. I have always carried a pocket knife and my current slipjoints are as follows.

From top, the Spyderco DKPK or Denmark Penknife is one which was made specifically to be carried in Denmark where one handed opening is barred. So it originally had a chamfered opening hole. I used the Dremel to remove the bevel and it would be my most modern knife. Next is one from Jeff Cover and then one from his father, Ray. The bottom two are James Barber ERA slippies and have been well used. One was my fathers and the other belonged to my uncle.  

I enjoy changing them about from day to day and one is always in my trouser pocket.

Well, I don't have many. Someday I'll start buying some, cause I like slippies a  lot, especially the smaller ones. Here's the only two I have that I actually care much about, as they have sentimental value. One on the left is my dad's, on the right my grandpa's.

Hi Benner,

I know a couple of places. First up is a shop in Denmark owned by Per Albrechtsen. I've dealt with Per a couple of times and they've both ran smoothly,

http://www.thegoodstuffshop.dk/default.asp?lang=uk

Then there is Charity Chimni who is a member of British Blades. She is a Spyderco agent and is great to deal with. I've had a few items from her and everything went great. Here's a specific thread where she's mentioned the Denmark Penknife.

I went a little slipjoint  :ahhh lately (sort of an anti-tactical reactionaryism  :think: ) and have been buying, selling and trading like mad.  :twak: Here's some of the ones that I have picked up in the last year or so. The Rough Riders are very dangerous because they are very nice little knives for the money and it is far too easy to get carried away buying them! All mixed together below you will find Boker, Case, Schrade, Queen, Moore Maker and Rough Rider.

I went a little slipjoint  :ahhh lately (sort of an anti-tactical reactionaryism  :think: ) and have been buying, selling and trading like mad.  :twak: Here's some of the ones that I have picked up in the last year or so. The Rough Riders are very dangerous because they are very nice little knives for the money and it is far too easy to get carried away buying them!

Thanks for the compliments!  :cheers: I can't call those pictures of my collection (really my collecting, rather) since probably a third third of them have been given away, traded or sold off since I took the scans. I ended up giving away a lot of the Rough Riders to family and coworkers who were all non-knife folks, but got nostalgic for what their father/uncle/grandfather used to carry when they saw the knives. We actually did a group buy at my office from waxmanknifeworks.com !

Here's a few more that I forgot yesterday...

The only "traditional" slip joint I have is a Buck 303. It's nothing fancy but I carried it for a year or two during the early 2000's. It is a great little knife. I still carry it occasionally. It has sentimental value. I was carrying one when I met my wife. Although that particular knife broke(I was abusing it BIG TIME) I promptly bought a replacement. One of these days I want to get the bigger Stockman knife. Same design but just bigger and more heavy duty.

They are surprisingly nice and a good value. I've only gotten one that was flawed out of a couple dozen...that was the Marlinespike knife that had a lazy spike...but I fixed that :P

They are inexpensive enough that you can do naughty things to them...like bob the blades into Wharnies...or regrind the bevels thinner for carving...without feeling guilty

From that selection I have the Canoe, Congress and Whittler...I would choose the Whittler because that is my favorite pattern.

The detail they put in their Whittler patterns really surprised me. The pen blades are made from thinner stock (as is should be) and the springs are wedged.

Ooooo.......a slipjoint thread, my favorite subject. I can't get to posting my whole collection as it would take me forever to get all the pictures of them together, and doing a group shot isn't quite feasible at the moment. But here's some eye-candy of some of my most recent Traditional Slippie acquisitions..........

Kinda crazy ain't it? And the pics here are just part of my Slipjoint collection. I got a ton of modern folders (Tacticals and the like), fixed blades, etc, etc, as well. I'm trying to cataloge all of them and get them stored properly but I am running out of room.

Amazing collection, 2xTap.

Love the Camillus BSA knife with the end mounted Phillips.

Always wanted one just like that, but never got it for some reason.  After I got my first Vic Tinker I stopped buying Camillus knives.

I keep telling myself that it isn't...but you know what. A month ago when I joined up, I only had around 26 Mts, many of which were cheap ones bought here and there. Then I joined up on this forum, Multimat tried to warn me, and have counted...when it all comes in plus what I already have, a grand total of 115 MTs. I also had no SAKs, but now have 29 so far. Thankfully, I have placed that on the back burner for now.  >:D

Those are beautiful 2xTap. I am happy I haven't caught that bug yet.

Mike,

Thanks bud.

ringzero,

I have been a longtime Camillus fan having grown up carrying one that was my Father's when he was young. Never really got into Scout knives though until I was much older. Now Scout Knives have become a addiction within a addiction.....so to speak. When I got hooked I got to buying alot of Camillus built stuff, and when Camillus closed it's doors I was buying all I could afford. Including some I have already posted, here is a small group shot of some of my others......

(http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/544/scoutknives01.jpg)

I've kinda eased off on them for a while, been Pattern collecting and it's really limited what I can buy recently. But I have managed to add Scouts from Camillus, Remington, Imperial Schrade, Case, Bulldog, Weidmannsheil, Rough Rider, Colonial, Kabar, and one or two others. It's getting rounded out.

nuphoria,

I like using such chests for my least expensive collections, they look good and are great for storage. I have another one, a wood machinist's chest. It's a Gerstner clone that they sell at Harbor Freight and they are excellent for such collections too. I need a few more.

Chako,

I have a chinese junk-quality MT I have been using as a beater at work but haven't had a cecent MT since my old Gerber Multi-Plier from the early 90's. Having come here I have already bought three new MT's and am bidding on another on Ebay as I type this. I see another addiction in the works!  :-\

AHB,

I like it, I am a fan of the work the Yellowhorse family does. They are true artisans. I have some of their stuff, my most recent is a sweet customized Buck 110 my better-half got me last Christmas........

As am I, just wish I could afford more of them. They have been doing some custom pieces lately using some of the newer GEC Slips that just got me.......:drool: !

Including some I have already posted, here is a small group shot of some of my others......

(http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/544/scoutknives01.jpg)

I've kinda eased off on them for a while, been Pattern collecting and it's really limited what I can buy recently. But I have managed to add Scouts from Camillus, Remington, Imperial Schrade, Case, Bulldog, Weidmannsheil, Rough Rider, Colonial, Kabar, and one or two others. It's getting rounded out.

Thanks for the additional pic, 2xTap.  Just your collection of Scout pattern knives is awesome.

Camillus BSA knives mean a lot to me, because those were what I always carried from Cub Scouts through Boy Scouts.

Camillus BSA knives were considered the best available when I was a kid.

I've always carried a knife of that basic pattern since I was about eight years old.

Camillus BSA, Case Campers, Kamp Kings, then finally Victorinox Tinkers.  Love them all.

ringzero,

In my youth it was Jack's and Stockman slips, when I wasn't carrying a Buck 110. My interest in Scouts came much later unfortunately. My liking for the Scout pattern Slips is what finally got me interested in SAK's, funny enough.

I love my SAKs.  Most functional knives I own.  However, compared to a slippie, they are just missing....... something.  The words soul and tradition are thrown around all the time, but I am not quite sure if that's what it is.  I just know that if I were to lose my Wenger SI, I'd be disappointed, but I'd just get another one.  If I lost my Case Peanut, I'd be heart broken, like I lost something irreplaceable.  Maybe it's the handle materials that do it for me, I don't know.  With a knife that has a wood, or bone, or stag handle... I can just see an old grandfather using a Peanut to whittle on the front porch while smoking a pipe on a warm summer night, aglow with the porch light, and surrounded by the sounds of frogs, bugs, and crickets.  I just don't see that with a SAK.
I would never question the utility of a SAK (a classic SD is with me all the time on my keychain), but there's just something that talks to me about a good old school slippie.  Plus, it makes a good bit of pocket jewelry as well.

I carried a Buck 110, for outdoor use not EDC, for years.

Buck 110 was my first folder with a lock.

Eventually I decided the 110, at around 7 oz IIRC, was too heavy for backpacking and so got its little brother.

Buck Ranger, maybe model 112 or 120?

Anyhow, that smaller version of the Folding Hunter served me faithfully for years of backpacking.

Buck lockbacks may seem kind of outdated nowdays, but they are still great knives - long term durable and all around useful.

Yup, the Buck Ranger is the 112. Good knife!

To me the Buck lockbacks will never be outdated, just like classic Slipjoints never will be. They are timeless.  :tu:

Buck slippies are top notch as well.  They are a very underrated knife, but, even the imports are a very good deal for the price.  I have two imports.  A Buck Stockman, and a Buck Canoe, and they are really good knives.  Built like tanks, made to work, no frills knives.

Well my small and very cheap collection is put to shame by every one of those posted in here lol. I don't spend much money on them as I view these as working knives. I like to rotate them depending upon occasion and task. I usualy have a small stockman at the bottom of a front pocket most days when I am off work.

Because of my lack of taste...many of them are made in Pakistan or China.  :ahhh

I don't mind abusing them if the need arises though.  :D

Title: Re: Show your slip joint's thread!
Post by: Chako on July 09, 2009, 06:26:58 PM
That is my most used little guy. It is a Winchester Stockman...which means it is probably made by Carolina Knife and Tool. Purveyor of most things cheap. With that said, it is the one I carry around with me most of the time due to its small stature, comfortable shape, and steel that holds an edge long enough for me not to care much about it.

I picked up a medium Buck Trapper on clearance at a local supermarket chain a few weeks ago. Even for a china knife, I was blown away at the quality, the fit and finish is superb and the blades are SHARP. A true user knife there.

Benner,

Very nice indeed! That's Buffalo Horn the way I like it.....polished smooth. Gorgeous slippie bud!  :tu:

I'm a fan of long pulls as well, and like SporK I much prefer matchstriker style over anything. Wish more companies did matchstrikers. So how is the fit on that Fightin' Rooster, any gaps in the backspring area or any blade play? It's a Friedrich Olbertz built piece so it should be pretty solid overall.

And now that you have a real slippie, I am sure you have been overcome with an unshakable urge to buy more (well, that's what happened to me anyway!).......so we need to get you into the real good stuff. Schatt & Morgan, Robeson, Great Eastern Cutlery, Queen, Northwoods, Canal Street Cutlery, Bulldog, Weidmannsheil, Case, MooreMaker........that which has made me financially unstable!

I think the F&F is great  :tu:, but that is probably by my unknowledgable standards.  No gaps at all and every blade opens as it should without any play.

Benner,

I can't see any F&F issues in the pics you posted, no blade play and clean gap-free backspring fit says it's built like it should be. Excellent. Quality slipjoints are wonderful knives.  :tu:

All I can add is be sure to keep the blades cleaned and oiled as your knife is most likely done in Carbon Steel. Not much comes from Friedrich Olbertz in stainless.

This Trevor Ablett - Link (http://www.worldknives.com/products/trevor-ablett-hand-made-wood-handle-pocket-knife-s82-1920.html) and this Otter-Messer - Link (http://www.worldknives.com/products/ottermesser-sculpted-bolster-large-fish-knife-m164k-1550.html)

We both know it 2xTap that is really to blame.  :D


Alright, Benner might of needed a little nudge to fall to the Dark Side but Sporky needs no assistance! He's as corruptive as I could ever be!  :pok:

Ok guys, some more eye-candy for your viewing pleasure. This one arrived on my doorstep several hours ago. And typical of what I have come to expect from Queen Cutlery.....Fit and Finish that is flawless!

(http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/2830/queenacsbcattleking01.jpg)

(http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/4605/queenacsbcattleking02.jpg)

Queen Cutlery Cattle King Stockman, my favored Stockman variation......4 1/4" closed with squared bolsters!

(http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/7481/queenacsbcattleking03.jpg)

Blades are made of D2 Tool Steel and nicely polished, bolsters are nickel/silver, and liners and pins are of brass. Scales are ACSB (Amber Carved Stag Bone), and they are much more vibrant than my pictures show.

Fit and finish is perfect, blade grinds are spot on, edges are sharp and clean, not a gap to be found anywhere, zero blade play throughout, backsprings are stout and remain flush with the blades opened or closed, and blade etchings and tang stamps are without fault.......

(http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/2460/queenacsbcattleking04.th.jpg) (http://img79.imageshack.us/my.php?image=queenacsbcattleking04.jpg) (http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/1598/queenacsbcattleking05.th.jpg) (http://img508.imageshack.us/my.php?image=queenacsbcattleking05.jpg)

My kind of slippies!  :tu:

And it goes well with it's brother which I have had for a little while..........

Queen ACSB Gunstock:

Spork,

I have done that but I have to be careful as I use natural light source to get my pics right, a slight angle has a tendancy to reflect the light and blind out my pics. My current camera is real touchy when it comes to light. It's why more often than not my pics are dead on shots.

I don't have a white-box set up either, at least not yet. But first I need a new camera. Do you use some kind of white-box set up?


Keep them coming guys :drool: :drool:

Um.......OK!  :D

Really though, the #94 pattern Gunboat is my most favorite slippie pattern. I could not choose between them. They are like, if I had kids.......I love them all equally!  :D

But, if Case would finally do one in smooth Buffalo Horn then that would definitely be my "pride and joy".

I generally take my photos outside on my patio in a shaded area, usually in the morning or afternoon when the light is more diffused. I use a tripod and find that certain background colors work better than others.

Well, to be totally honest I guess I could pick a favorite, of a sort, out of my stable of #94's. It would be this one............

..........my first Gunboat Canoe, and my EDC slippie. This is the one that got me hooked on the pattern and the one that pretty much replaced all my earlier carry slips as my go to knife. I actually have three of these particular ones. One for carry, one for back up, and one in the collection.   :tu:

I go out on my deck from time to time to shoot some as well but usually I am in my living room as it's get the best light in the house due to the large bay window. I freehand all my shots as I don't have a tripod.......I try to keep it as simple as possible. If I get to making the whole thing too complex I won't be taking many pics. Though I would like to get a white box set-up. I did try making my own once but it turned out real crappy. But, I found this at Harbor Freight and might go get it............

Mike,

They are a very addictive pattern, if you like large folders. And while I like large Stockman's, the Gunboats are similar in closed length but more hand filling and heftier. The are more comfortable in the hand to use and a bit more comfortable in the pocket to carry.

Spork,

Yeah, the blades on the #94 are broader than most it's size. It's a bit overcast here now but I will try to get out here soon and take some in-hand shots for you to see, and some side by side pics with other patterns. Give me a little bit and I'll try to get some posted.

The one you have pictured is one of Case's smallest patterns, and that particular ones looks to be from their Delrin Workman series......which is also the least expensive. That particular Peanut I can get for $25.00 NIB here.

Hey Tap, how would you rate that Case scout knife?  I have my Demo knife, also made by Camillus, but I love jigged handles.  The Demo, while one tough mother, lacks character.  I know these knives are discontinued, other then in G10 Orange, but those old ones, how do they hold up?
Title: Re: Show your slip joint's thread!
Post by: 2xTap on August 03, 2009, 10:41:22 PM
LH,

That particular Scout I wouldn't rate very high.......it's the cheapest version of the last run of them, in Delrin. It's Ok but the springs on it are a bit weak. Finish is Ok as well but nothing to write home about. I believe these were actually made by Camillus for Case. It's not horrible, just not up to the standard I am use to from Case. I have another one, a bit older, done in Red Bone which is much nicer all around........

(http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/2504/case1989centscout01xn1.jpg)

But as far as that particular Delrin version goes, I actually like my original Camillus versions and Remington versions over that one.

As to the Orange G-10 version, be aware that those are Scout Jr.'s and not fullsize Case Scouts. And they are available in several different handle materials.

Nope, I sure haven't got any. Still kick myself for passing up on a couple different deals on a few of them in the past. I've heard nothing but good about them. That Cold Steel line was built by Camillus for CS.....and used their 0170-6C carbon steel for the blades.

Well, you might find some Bulldogs and Weidmannsheils as they are built in Europe.....except for the latest run of Bulldogs. But then again, Bulldog Brand Knives is a USA company so might be a bit harder to find possibly. And Weidmannsheil is owned by Bulldog now.  ???

I got my Otter-Messer and Ablett today.

I'm very happy with the Otter-Messer...it was exactly what I expected, a nice robust working knife. Strong backspring, smooth walk-n-talk, clean grind lines and fit...no effort wasted in polishing it up shiny. A knife built to work for a living. I'd like to get some more of their models. The edge needs a little work but it is sharp enough to pop through some leather scraps.

The Ablett is a disappointment...I won't be getting another.

Walk-n-talk is good with ample spring pressure...that's about all I can praise on this knife. They did put some effort in giving the metal a good polish, but the grind lines are crap. The bevels don't meet at the tang of the blade and the tip was left fairly thick. The scales and bolsters were carelessly shaped and not close to matching. The overall impression I have is that it was assembled by a skilled cutler then handed over to someone else to finish. A cursory edge has been put on it, but it wouldn't cut butter  >:(

The worst thing about my particular example is the nail nick is not deep enough or crisp...and it was cut too low on the blade. The result is that it barely peeks up above the handle making opening difficult.

Spork,

Damn, it sucks that the Albett came the way it did. Looks like the QC is quite lacking on a consistant basis. I'll scratch them off my list. I do like the looks of the Otter-Messer, that puppy looks sweet! What's the steel in them OM's?

And I like your fix to the Albett.......I'm going to assume there was Dremel usage here! And nice edge too, convex I will assume?

Yep! :D  It only took a few minutes with the 1/2" sanding drum. The edge is sort of convex...I had to spend some time with a coarse SC Norton to get edge and tip thinned down enough. Typically I hold the blade almost flat to make a wide secondary bevel, then blend in the shoulders.

The Otter is carbon steel...don't know what flavor  :P - bought both from Worldknives (http://www.worldknives.com/products/ottermesser-sculpted-bolster-large-fish-knife-m164k-1550.html)

Here's some eye-candy of my latest Case acquisition. Now I am not much for Country Music and can't say I am a fan of Brooks & Dunn........but their logo/brand marked on a Case does make for a nice looking Stockman:

Hopefully all these pics will show up, Imageshack is having problems right now for some reason!

(http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/6336/casebdlargestockman01.jpg)

(http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/9039/casebdlargestockman02.jpg)


This is from the first run of "Brooks & Dunn" Series slips by Case, made in 2008. This particular one is on Case's #75 pattern Large Stockman which sits in at 4 1/4" closed. The blades are Case's mirror polished "Tru-Sharp" Stainless (420HC) with brass liners and pins, nickel/silver bolsters, and stainless backsprings. Scales are left natural and made from smooth Zebu cattle shin bone. No inlayed shield here as the shield is actually lasered into the bone, the B&D Steer Skull...........

(http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/9241/casebdlargestockman03.jpg)

.................love the look, they could of just left it at that without the "Brooks & Dunn" etch on the blade and that would have been fine by me.

Fit and Finish is excellent. Blades are even ground and polished with clean edges that are typical Case sharp. No blade play any where and the backsprings have that hefty stoutness that isn't nailbreaking and all backsprings sit flush with the blades opened or closed. Scales are fitted virtually seamless and pins are flush with the bone.....smooth as a baby's butt from bolster to bolster. The backspring area is nicely polished and the springs all sit flush and smooth, but there is one little fault here. The mainblade's backspring on the pivot end has a faint gap between it and the brass spring spacer. It's a little over a inch long or so and very minor, doesn't affect anything, but it is there.......

(http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/7443/casebdlargestockman04.jpg)

........you really have to look to see it as it is faint but this is a peeve of mine. Even still it is minor. But outside of that it is clean and seamless.

It came in a "Brooks & Dunn" collector tin which also includes a suede slip-pouch. A real nice combination considering it all costed a mere $44.99 NIB! I'm a bargain shopper.  :D

Ok I'll ask I'm stupid when it comes to sharpening in fact I can make a dull blade duller I'm to heavy handed could be the cause :think: ,I have a dremel  :salute: so how's it done  :D
Title: Re: Show your slip joint's thread!
Post by: Spork, Lord of Lime Jello! on August 14, 2009, 03:07:15 AM
First off...put the Dremel down and back away slowly. :o

I'm old school and use flat stones. I re-profiled the secondary on a coarse side silicon carbide stone, holding the blade almost flat...raised a burr on one side, then the other. Then I ran it on the fine side of the stone.

Once that was done I used progressively finer wet/dry paper on a stiff rubber pad (not a mouse pad) to clean up and blend the shoulder of the secondary into a convex...followed by a stropping with black then green compound.

Unless the blade gets abused, stopping will keep it sharp for a long time before having to resort to stoning again…and usually a fine grit stone will do the job.

I test my edges on leather scraps and by making wood shavings. I find paper cutting and shaving hair deceptive...it doesn’t give me a true indication of how well the edge will cut in thicker materials or how well it will carve wood.

Post by: 2xTap on August 29, 2009, 06:49:22 PM
Ok, latest GEC acquistion just came in this morning. This one a bit unique, Great Eastern Cutlery #23 pattern "Left-Hand" Pioneer Jumbo Trapper.

(http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/7376/geclhpioneerbluebone01.jpg)

(http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/1466/geclhpioneerbluebone02.jpg)

Finally got around to getting one. I'm not left handed but it doesn't matter, you don't see many companies doing a lefty slipjoint. The only difference between these and a regular Pioneer is that the Spey and Clip blades have swapped sides. The shield is still on the same side as the "Right-Handers".

These are of 2007 manufacture and are the Pioneer #23 pattern at 4.5" closed. Mine is serial number #10 out of the run. They are GEC brand with the Cyclops Steel Works blade etch making them 440-C bladed. Typical GEC construction with nickle/silver bolsters, brass liners and pins, and stout backsprings.

Fit and finish is near flawless, one minor issue I did find though is in the polish of the blades. On this one the polish is a bit hazy, kinda like it wasn't completed......like the person doing these didn't spend enough time on the buffer. Nothing big as it is consistant throughout both blades, just not as nicely done as my others. Outside of that this thing is flawless and gap free.

(http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/8239/geclhpioneerbluebone04.jpg)

As to the edges, one thing I have heard people complain about on GEC's recently. This one, like my others, have sharp usable edges. They ain't scary sharp but will remove arm hair......just not as effortlessly as some of my other slips. But they ain't butter knife dull.

The bone on this one is that River Blue Bone. Very nice color, kinda deep in hue but does lighten up a bit in areas. The jig is like a Stag Bone jig, really nice.

(http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/1774/geclhpioneerbluebone03.jpg)

I ordered this one from Mike over at CollectorKnives.net (http://www.collectorknives.net/index.html), and along with it I ordered one of the new GEC Blade picks in Buffalo Horn.........

(http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/8125/geclhpioneerbluebone05x.jpg)

(http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/1517/gecbladepickbh01.jpg)

.........real nice little piece with a slim profile. Made of stainless with slim Buffalo Horn slabs pinned on both sides. The scales on this have nice angular edges all the way around. I didn't get this one to use as I don't have problems getting my GEC's open, I got it for my collection to go along side my Buffalo Horn and Ox Horn Pioneers. These picks are 3 3/8" long and at their thickest point, across the scales, they are only about 3/16" thick.

Got this one in yesterday. Not my favorite handle material but it is a Gunboat! It was on auction and bidding was running low so I threw in a low bid and waited. My patience (something I am not known for) paid off. I figured I would be outbid as Case Gunboat Canoes can be quite pricey but only one other person bid after me and mine was a bit higher still.

Case "Vintage Pattern Series" Gunboat Canoe in Periwinkle Bone:

(http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/718/caseperiwinklegunboat03.jpg)

I was surprised that I won it as my max bid was rather low, but I won it even lower than that. It's NIB and I paid a mere $59.00 for it!!!!!!!  :o

Just took some quick pics of it as I took it out of the box, haven't had a chance to really clean it up yet so there is some tarnish on the liners and the bolsters look a little hazy in the pics. In person though the Bone ain't as bad as I thought. In pics it just didn't look all that good to me, but in hand it's not bad. But either way it's my favorite slippie pattern......and at $59.00 it was an absolute steal.

GraysonK,

They are, Case builds some nice stuff.

Neil,

Scarce and often way overpriced over there......unfortunately. From what I have heard and seen it would appear alot of Case stuff goes for nearly double in the U.K. than what it does here. And I can only imagine what the prices would be on products from Queen or GEC. It's a damn shame really that it's like that.

Spork,

Going to have some more here soon hopefully, in October Case is releasing the next 5 runs of their Vintage Pattern Series!  :tu:

No... they use something like Tru-sharp Surgical Stainless or something... pretty sure it's just 400 series...

Spork,

They did a run of Case Scouts in Yellow Delrin but I can't recall if they were CV or not, been a while since I have seen one.

Princess Pollywog & Mike,

Oh yes, Case still makes runs in their CV Carbon Steel. They recently released some new runs of CV slippies in Red Bone and Chestnut Bone, and they still make many patterns in their Yellow Delrin with CV blades.

Looky here: http://www.wrcase.com/knives/pocket_knives/browsefolding.php?Family='Chestnut%20Bone%20CV'&Folding='1'&Item='' and here: http://www.wrcase.com/knives/pocket_knives/browsefolding.php?Family='Dark%20Red%20Bone%20CV'&Folding='1'&Item='' and also here: http://www.wrcase.com/knives/pocket_knives/browsefolding2.php?Family='Yellow%20Handle'&Folding='1'&Item='0111'

Their "Tru-Sharp" Stainless is 420HC, they do use it alot. But aside from that and the CV they have used ATS-34, 154CM, Rain Drop Damascus, and BG-42 in their knives. Just depends on the run.

Princess Pollywog,

Just depends on the run. The Tested XX in 154CM had most of the patterns available for under $100 and the Burnt Amber Jigged Bone series in Damascus could be found with most of the patterns around the $100 mark........not bad considering they are 100% American Made.

Spork,

It happens to me all the time. Sometimes I have to hunt through my collection before I buy something cause I can't remember if I have it already.

I really have not been interested in a slip joint, form just didn't do it for me.  Now I see Case makes a OHO locking knife, I love that it looks old school but with a modern function.

If you don't think that's expensive something's wrong with your head.

Really. How much do you think it costs them to make a knife?
I don't blame them though, frankly they can get away with selling the Surgical Stainless to 99% of their customers so they might as well. But even those are way overpriced.

Princess Pollywog,

In the $100 range is quite reasonable actually for an American made slipjoint using 154CM or Damascus steel. Try to get the same thing from a custom maker and then it gets expensive. Crazy! If you only knew.........I've got tens of thousands of dollars wrapped up in my knife collections. $100 to $150 for a well made American pocketknife that will last a lifetime or two is nothing.

As to Case's Tru-Sharp stainless.....yeah, some of the patterns are expensive like the Gunboat Canoes. But it is alot of knife with alot of steel. And these aren't just some stamped out knives......alot of hand operations go into these.

And their Tru-Sharp stainless is actually 420HC Stainless.......the same steel used in many Buck Knives, the same stainless used in many Schatt & Morgan's and Robeson's from Queen, and the same steel used by Great Eastern Cutlery in the new Cripple Creek SFO's. With the right heat treat it's a good steel......I know, I have been using it for years without a problem.

No, it's not. :D
Until you give me proof to show me otherwise, I'm prone to believe the material costs are actually pretty dang low per knife.

Not $80's worth. Not even $60, $40, or $20. Okay, maybe $20's worth.

And their Tru-Sharp stainless is actually 420HC Stainless.......the same steel used in many Buck Knives, the same stainless used in many Schatt & Morgan's and Robeson's from Queen, and the same steel used by Great Eastern Cutlery in the new Cripple Creek SFO's.

I'm fine with any kind of blade steel on a pocket knife as long it's not aluminum :D ... as long as the heat treat is good. But you can get pocket knives in so called "premium" steel elsewhere for much cheaper. Or crappy 400 series stainless ones from China with decent fit and finish for half a ten.

Princess Pollywog,

Material costs might be low, but that is just part of the cost.....then you got the cost of manufacture which is not cheap here in the USA, and then you pay for the brand. In the matter of Case we are talking about the most collected brand of knives. And knives that generally don't lose value.

Value of any knife or brand is a subjective thing........but as to their proof of value on the market all you have to do is look at the market. Regular production case pieces can be had at reasonable prices. But when you get into their SFO's and limited run items the collector market forces the prices through demand. Add in age and you can often see the prices slowly climb.

The question is..........can you show me a knife of equal or better quality that will have a similar collector value for whatever inexpensive price you see better than that of a Case?

Good luck!  :D

Alas, was I looking for a collector piece? Do I care about resell value? I'm just saying, there are many knifes that can be had for cheaper of equal or better quality. I'm saying the cost is NOT reasonable for the labor and parts put into it. It's not. That's why I don't buy Case.

If I was a collector, of course it'd be different.

Disregarding "collector value" and only considering manufacturing costs and labor... I cannot in my right mind say any Case knife is worth its value.

This is not meant as a bash to Vic or Wenger as I am a fan of both, and they do build a good quality tool but you are comparing Apples to Oranges. There is a reason why most Vic's and Wengers cost so little. The average 91mm Vic is made of their standard stainless which is usable but softer than the 420HC that Case uses on most of their runs. Vic also uses a much thinner blade stock on many of their blades than Case uses on most of their slips (this does vary by pattern), most SAK's are scaled in essentially plastic that is stamped out like cord wood where most Case slippies are done in Jigged and Dyed cattle bone, most of your SAK's are lined in thin Aluminum stampings where most Case knives are lined in polished brass (or Nickle/Silver, depends on run), all production SAK's come un-bolstered where most all production Case slippies come bolstered in polished Nickle/Silver.

But all of this varies extremely with Case as they do so many different runs that add much more expensive handle materials, blade steels, finishes, different inlay shields, etc. And Case specializes in Traditional pocketknives, not multitools.

Outside of that there is also the History and Tradition, of which I won't get into in this thread.

But if we break this down and try to compare on equal footing we would have to take something like one of Case's Workman Series Scout Knives which has some tools in it...................

(http://www.soonerstateknives.com/CA-114.JPG)

............and go with a Vic Soldier, which has the same tools/blade set-up. And then there ain't much of a price difference. I picked up my Case Workman Series Scout for only $26.00 NIB.

(http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/2628/robesondemonstrator02.jpg)

I won this thing on auction about 2 weeks back for a song.....really dirt cheap. Thing is, the knife I recieved was not the knife that was listed. Both are similar but the one listed was a different pattern. I emailed the dealer I got it from and have yet to receive a reply......I ain't sweating it for I would of got this one too had it been listed as well. And as this knife was had so cheap, and it's just as nice, I'm happy either way. Odd how that worked out!

Anyway, the knife that was listed was a 2003 Robeson Shuredge Large Barlow "Demonstrator" in Red Smooth Bone. The knife I got was this one, a 2002 Robeson Shuredge Coke Bottle "Demonstrator" in Red Smooth Bone. Similar run just different pattern and older.......and like I said, I ain't sweating it!  :D

(http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/4971/robesondemonstrator03.jpg)

These were a limited run of "1 of 100" and have the "Demonstrator" tang stamp. From what I have gathered these were reproductions of older Sales Sample knives.

(http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/7137/robesondemonstrator05.th.jpg) (http://img176.imageshack.us/i/robesondemonstrator05.jpg/) (http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/5323/robesondemonstrator04.th.jpg) (http://img233.imageshack.us/i/robesondemonstrator04.jpg/)

And it's a big'un! My own measurement has this puppy at 5 3/16" from bolster to bolster. And it is hefty too with some thick blade stock, large slabs of bone, and long bolsters. Blade is a long Clip, fully swedged with long matchstriker pull and made from 420HC Stainless. Bolsters and shield are nickle/silver, and liners and pins are brass. Scales are smooth bone dyed in a beautiful shade of Red.

(http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/3730/robesondemonstrator06.jpg)

Fit and finish is excellent, but with two small faults which I will get into in a bit. Blade has half-stop, but opens and closes smoothly without any play. Backspring is stout, and it rests flush with the blade opened or closed. Scales fit to the bolsters and liners seamlessly, and the pins are flush to the scales. One fault here is in the backspring area. Liner and backspring fit is seamless up until you get to the pivot end on the non-shield side bolster.....here there is a small tiny gap, barely a hairline between the backspring and liner. It's tiny as hell but something I noticed.

(http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/3368/robesondemonstrator07.jpg)

The other fault is the edge. This is the first Queen-built knife I own that came dull out of the box. The edge is ground clean and even, but the bevels look to be at about a 40-45 degree angle, very steep making the edge quite blunt. Easily rectified if this was to be a user, as it is going into the collection it's no big deal.

Outside of that this thing is flawless, and mirror polsihed throughout. It's a looker! It came mint with it's original box but had no paperwork. The box itself is very clean and mint as well......either way it was a steal for only $56.99!!!!   :tu:

(http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/9656/caseclassictanbonewhitta.jpg)

I am always on the hunt for mint Case Classic's on the cheap. These things, depending on pattern, have been bringing big money on auction. I have bid on so many over the years only to lose out on them as they go up in the stratosphere on bids. This is only the third Classic I've managed to win on auction, and got for under $100.00! I was bidding on another, a different pattern of Whittler.....and in less than a day that one jumped from $76.00 to nearly $200.00!!! Suffice it to say I didn't win that one!

(http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/1948/caseclassictanbonewhitt.jpg)

This one is a #94 pattern Whittler (not to be confused with Case's other #94 patterns, the Gunboat and Cattleman) manufactured in 1991, I believe by Queen Cutlery.....as many of the Case Classic patterns were. It is a Cigar style "Splitback" Whittler at 4" closed. Blades are flat ground 1095 Carbon Steel with nickle/silver bolsters and shield, and brass liners and pins. Scales are jigged Tan Bone.

(http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/1948/caseclassictanbonewhitt.th.jpg) (http://img246.imageshack.us/i/caseclassictanbonewhitt.jpg/) (http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/9995/caseclassictanbonewhittv.th.jpg) (http://img185.imageshack.us/i/caseclassictanbonewhittv.jpg/)

As mentioned the blades are 1095 Carbon Steel, flat ground, and mirror polished. The Spear mainblade as well as the Spey and Pen secondary blades all sport swedges, with the mainblade having a long pull. Edges are clean and evenly ground on all, and will shave arm hair. Fit throughout the knife is solid and virtually seamless, and all metal surfaces are mirror polished. Backsprings are stout and on all blades sit flush with them opened or closed.

The two secondary blades have half-stops but the mainblade doesn't. And as I also mentioned this one is a "Splitback" Whittler. For the uninitiated this means all 3 blades operate off of just two backsprings. The secondary blades cam off of their own backsprings and are separated by a wedge-shaped brass spacer which angles the two backsprings down together where the mainblade cams off of both at the same time. This is an old-school way of doing it, very classic........

(http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/994/caseclassictanbonewhittf.jpg)

The only fault I can find with this knife is a slight uneveness in the wedge were it sits at it's thinnest spot between the backsprings, and some surface blemishes caused by the previous owner. Some slight rub marks on the blades from opening and closing them......caused by the fact that the blades sit so close together when closed that if you don't pull the blades straight out they will touch a bit on opening. You can see some of this on the blades in the pic below..........

(http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/1948/caseclassictanbonewhitt.jpg)

Outside of that this thing is flawless. It came in it's orginal box but had none of it's original paperwork.....this might be why I got it fairly cheap. All and all a great slippie to add to the collection.  :tu:

(http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/6462/geclhpioneergreenbone02.jpg)

Well, I finally got around to ordering the other Left-Hand #23 Pioneer from Great Eastern Cutlery. This one, like my other, was ordered from Mike at CollectorKnives.net (http://www.collectorknives.net/greateastern.html). It arrived yesterday and aside from the color of bone is exactly like my other in every way, even down to the slight hazy mirror polish of the blades.

It's 4.5" in the closed position, sports 440-C stainless blades, nickle/silver bolsters, and brass liners and pins. Blades are cleanly ground and arm-hair shaving sharp, and both blades have half-stops which are typical of this pattern from GEC. Scales on this one are called Green Mountain Bone. And for those who might not know, the reason these particular #23 pattern Pioneers from GEC are called "Left-Handers" is because of the position of the blades. On a regular #23 pattern Pioneer the Clip and Spey blades are on opposite sides as opposed to this one. That's the only difference.

These were produced in 2007 and only 50 were made of each. This Green Mountain Bone one I have is serial number #16 of 50.

(http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/3025/geclhpioneergreenbone05.th.jpg) (http://img19.imageshack.us/i/geclhpioneergreenbone05.jpg/) (http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/1642/geclhpioneergreenbone04.th.jpg) (http://img25.imageshack.us/i/geclhpioneergreenbone04.jpg/)

Fit and finish is virtually flawless, and seamless throughout. Blade spines meet to the backsprings even and flush, backsprings are stout, blades have zero lateral play, scale/bolster/liner/backspring fit is as good as it gets, overall it's an exceptional piece.

(http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/8963/geclhpioneergreenbone03.jpg)

Here's a pic of both of them together, the River Blue Bone on top and the Green Mountain Bone on bottom.........

The more GEC's I get the more I am impressed with them. While I am a huge fan of Case and Queen Cutlery and own many flawless examples from each....I have to say I am of the belief that these GEC's are the best built production slipjoints to be had outside of customs.  :tu:

2xTap I LOVE those GEC knives. I've pretty much decided on a Tidioute #53 or #54 as my next purchase. I'm a huge fan of Case's Stockman pattern and have been wanting to try out a GEC knife for a while now. I just can't decide on a handle material  ???

 Yeah I just quoted myself. Because I'm a liar. Even though I was set on a #53 my willpower is weak and I just picked up a Tidioute #73 NIB on the bay for 38.00 + free shipping. I'm so weak when it comes to sweet sweet slipjoints. Pictures of my weakness will follow when knife arrives.

Well, you got that for a steal....$38.00 for a NIB anything from GEC is a bargain at it's best.

So which Tidoute #73 did you get, Jack or Scout, and what handle material?

I had ordered a couple Rough Rider slips a few days back and they arrived yesterday. These two were bought on a whim really. I like red bone, and I like smooth bone.....Red Smooth Bone is even better. And these two were sitting at $9.00 a piece with Free Shipping so I said what the hell. Glad I did! I've been a fan of RR's since their release, you can't beat the quality for the money.

(http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/8828/rrredsmoothbonestockman.jpg)

The Stockman is their medium size one at 3 1/2" closed. The Trapper is fullsize at 4 1/8" closed. They both have RR's 440A stainless blades with matchstriker pulls, grooved nickle/silver bolsters, nickle/silver Horseshoe shield, brass liners and pins, and gorgeous Red Smooth Bone scales.

(http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/4619/rrredsmoothbonetrapper0s.jpg)

(http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/4686/rrredsmoothbonetrapper0.jpg)

Fit and finish on both are exceptional, especially given their $9.00 price tags. Very little to fault either over. Both have virtually gap free fit all around, nice polish on the blades and bolsters, all blades have even grinds and very sharp edges, both knives sport relatively stout backsprings, both knives have pins polished flush to the scales, and there is no perceivable blade play on any of them.

The Stockman does have a slight hairline gap between the mainblade's backspring and the brass liner, up towards the pivot end about a 1/4" long. Faint and doesn't effect anything, very minor.....

(http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/8828/rrredsmoothbonestockman.jpg)

The Trapper is seamless in it's backspring fit.......

(http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/4686/rrredsmoothbonetrapper0.jpg)

......though the Trapper does have a tiny blemish. On the shield side scale there is a small nick in the bone next to the center pin. A very minor cosmetic issue.

All in all great slipjoints for the money, and two prime examples of what the RR's can be. And at this price point.....unmatched quality for what they are.

2xTap

 It's a Scout model. Bocote wood scales. The only other wooden scale slipjoint I have is an old "tested" stamped Case that was my Grandpa's knife. I always liked wooden scales on a knife and at 38 bucks I couldn't pass it up. I'm still eye balling some #53's though. Just waiting for a deal on something that I "have to have".

 By the way 2xTap I love reading your posts on knifeforums in The Slip Joint. I've been a member there for a while now but just lurk and never post.

 Well I received my Tidioute #73 yesterday. I have to say that this is by far the dullest knife that I've ever handled. I honestly have spoons in my kitchen that are sharper. I'm starting the process of trying to put an edge on the blades. My sharpening ability is such that I can maintain an already established edge very well by freehanding, but when starting from scratch where basically no edge bevel exists I'm having a hard time.

 I do have to say that from my first impressions of this GEC slipjoint I doubt I will get another from this company. It's a shame as I was looking for a nice single blade with a stag handle. I like GEC's stag much better than what Case offers, but at least the Case knife would be able to cut something. If I manage to get an edge on the blades I will post up some pics of my success. If not then I'll take it in to the machine shop at work and use the belt sander to try and put an edge on it. I will post pics of the destruction that causes as well.

If your in the knife manufacturing business and can't put at least a solid working edge on your knives you won't last long. I've gotten a few Cases that had wire edges or might not have been as sharp as I would like them, but at least they could cut something and only needed a touch up. I don't have a diamond benchstone so I've been working on sharpening up a single blade on the #73 for hours and I'm not there yet. I will see what reply the folks at GEC send me, but I really think I'll stick with Case from now on.

GMArthur,

Sorry to hear your first GEC had problems......that is not normal from them. Of all the ones I own I have not had any F&F issues with them. Matter of fact all the ones I own have had a superb level of fit and finish. As to their edges, they don't come with wide beveled super thin edges. All of mine have usable edges but not razor sharp.

Like in your case I have heard from others that theirs have come dull, or at least not as sharp as they expect. It's a shame it came the way it did, hopefully they will get it squared away promply for you.

Mike,

You mention with Case how their quality is assured. Well, not quite. Case has had some issues over the years with subpar knives getting out. Just like any company sometimes lemons get through. They have good customer service and most problems get rectified, but they are far from perfect.

I own somewhere in the ballpark of a couple hundred Case knives, I have a few with some issues. Nothing major, but they all don't come perfect. One of my most recent Case acquisitions that arrived late last week actually has a gouge in one of the bone scales......looks like a mess up during the jigging process.

Granted, these are the exceptions and not the rule.....but it does happen even with the best companies.

 I'm going to mail out the knife to GEC tomorrow. It would probably be faster to just drive it to them as I only live a couple of hours away, but I'm lazy  :-\

 I've had bummer knives from many companies. It's how the company handles the customers concerns that matters. If the knife comes back with a decent user edge and they can fix the spring issues then I'll be happy. As far as the knife goes though, I love the design. It's a great size with really useful blade shapes. I think for a hunter this model is the tops. If they can get me straight I'm sure the knife will see many a field dressing. It's a shame as I'm going bow hunting this weekend. Looks like the Case stockman gets the job again. I'll be sure to post here when I get the knife back.

 Just a quick update in case anybody still cares.

The good news - Superfast turnaround over at GEC. I think it took 3 days total to get my knife back from the day I mailed it.

The bad news - I guess that nobody over at GEC can get an edge on my knife either. It was returned to me with a note saying "blades have been sharpened". I was unable to cut paper or my thumb with either blade and believe me I was really trying to see if it could cut my thumb.

 So I guess if you don't mind sharpening your brand new knife GEC would be fine. For me it's not acceptable. There are too many quality knife manufacturers who will ship me a sharp knife to be hassled with buying dull ones. I'll post this knife for trade on a couple knife forums and see if I can't find a Boker Copperhead or Case Saddlehorn which are next on my list.

Well that sucks. I agree, it shouldn't be that way. As I said none of my GEC's came with a scary edge.....or at least an edge to my own standards but they did come usable. My most recent one which arrived yesterday I have to admit came a bit duller than my others. This one would need some sharpening if it was to be a user. It'll cut paper, just not as effortlessly as some of my others.  :think:

I'm wondering if some of these are built by one of their employees, edge grinds anyway, that just does it different. As my others, and many more owned by people I know, have come with usefully sharp edges.

My latest from GEC has arrived and it is sweet!  :tu:

These new ones for 2009 are excellent, and I do much prefer the end-cap bolster on this pattern over the barehead. When these showed up it was a given that I was getting one. GEC is calling this version which is a single Spey blade end-capped #23 the Farmer. These are available in either backspring only or with Linerlock.....I got the backspring only version. These are a "1 of 50" run done in 440-C stainless. Mine is serial #22.

(http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/6568/gecpioneerivorybone06.th.jpg) (http://img87.imageshack.us/i/gecpioneerivorybone06.jpg/) (http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/636/gecpioneerivorybone07.th.jpg) (http://img75.imageshack.us/i/gecpioneerivorybone07.jpg/)

These are 4.5" closed and as mentioned the blades are 440-C. Bolsters and shield are nickle/silver, and the liners & pins are brass. The scales on this one are Smooth Ivory Bone, and they are extremely nice. I really like the color, looks like some polished Mastadon Ivory I have seen before.....good looking stuff!

(http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/3555/gecpioneerivorybone08.jpg)

Overall the Fit & Finish is what I have come to expect from GEC.....damn near perfect. There is not a gap to be found, zero blade play, stout backspring, polished throughout (though the blades have a slight hazy look to them), clean and even blade grinds, Scale to bolster fit is seamless as are they to the liners, just superb in fit all around.

(http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/2828/gecpioneerivorybone03.jpg)

I ordered mine from Mike over at CollectorKnives.net (http://www.collectorknives.net/greateastern.html) from his "Early Bird Bonus" section. This included a GEC knife pick with my order. As seen in my pics this one is a non-scaled version. These would go well on a keychain.

One thing I have noticed is the stoutness of the backspring on this one is not as heavy as that of my other 23's. It's stout but not nail-busting. And nowhere near the level of my SARPNT which is also a single Spey Blade #23.

But......while this one is as clean and solid as any GEC I own it does have a fault, the edge! This is the dullest GEC I own and one of the dullest slipjoints in my whole collection. GEC's ain't known for laser-sharp edges but at least my others came fairly usable and at least sharp enough to remove arm hair with some effort. This one doesn't remove arm hair well at all and can barely cut through paper without tearing it. Matter of fact this one is about as close to a "butter knife" as I have gotten in a knife in a long time.

Considering these are priced near $100.00 this is unacceptable. As good as the F&F on these are they should still come with a usable edge......they are a knife after all. A tool specifically designed to cut things! It'd be like getting a screwdriver that won't turn screws or a car that won't drive. Kind defeats the whole purpose of their existance.

I've been hearing about this lately of GEC's coming dull out of the box, like the one GMArthur recently got. I haven't really had one up until now. This is one area GEC really needs to get their act together. In my case I ain't sweating it too much as this is going into the collection and won't be a user. But for those that get these to be used.....you shouldn't have to put an edge on a knife right from the get go when they cost as much as these do.

That aside, the knife is still a beautiful piece and well constructed. I hope that these dull ones are just random flukes and not becoming the standard from them. But regardless of edge, you'd be hard pressed to find a better build on another production knife.

That's a fine looking knife. Whilst I personally wouldn't be too concerned about receiving a blade with a poor edge, I do agree that on a premium folder like these not having it sharp is just plain strange  :-\

Post by: 2xTap on October 10, 2009, 07:29:23 PM
Neil,

Most users I know generally are never satified with most factory edges, many I know wind up putting their own edge on a knife that they are going to use and carry. One of the exceptions being Bark Rivers.......they come so damn sharp!

That being said the least a company can do is put a usable edge on their knives so at least it can do it's job out of the box. Seldom have I had a knife come not this way. Even more so the fact of a premium folder with such an awesome build. Quality like this you'd think a hair-popping edge would be standard......they have the technology!

My other GEC's all came with usable edges, not quite hair-poppers but sharp enough. But this one is odd in that it's not even really usable. I can't say enough about their quality as I have been utterly impressed with their level of fit and finish on their knives. But it is a little disheartening to get one with an edge like this.

 This one came in today. A couple of passes on a piece of leather and this thing is extremely sharp. Excellent fit and finish with everything nice and flush in every position. If you don't own any knives is Case's excellent CV steel hurry and pick one up.

Yella handled CV Trapper

Oh yeah, let's see it. Which did you get, likely one of the new ones in either Black Delrin or Dymondwood? I have only one Buck 301 in my collection at the moment......This one an earlier model back when they were being made by Camillus for Buck:

I also got one of the asian import versions, the Buck 371...........

......these are real good stockmans as well, these are being built over in China by the same people that make the Rough Riders.

Got this one a few days back and the weather cleared up enough to allow me to take some pics.

This one is another single blade #23 Farmer from Great Eastern Cutlery. GEC branded with the Cyclops Steel Works tang stamps.....meaning 440-C stainless bladed, oh yeah! Just the way I like them.  ;)

(http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/8979/gecpioneerbluebone05.jpg)

This one was had through TSA Knives (http://www.shop.tsaknives.com/Great-Eastern-Cutlery_c13.htm) and from a very short serialized limited run of only 9 pieces. Mine is number 7 from that run. One unique thing I noticed about this one is it is serialized differently than my other GEC's that have serial numbers. My others just have the number for which it is of a given run, where this one is actually marked "7-9"....seventh knife of nine produced. Different!

(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/3305/gecpioneerbluebone03.th.jpg) (http://img193.imageshack.us/i/gecpioneerbluebone03.jpg/) (http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/1155/gecpioneerbluebone04.th.jpg) (http://img340.imageshack.us/i/gecpioneerbluebone04.jpg/)

This particular run of end-capped Farmers is done in a beautiful jigged River Blue Bone and is of typical GEC construction with 440-C stainless blade, nickle/silver bolsters and shield, and brass liners and pins. Fit and finish is also typical of GEC in that it's about as flawless as they come.......solid throughout, no gaps or blade play, stout backspring, and mirror polished externally all the way around.

(http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/4472/gecpioneerbluebone06.jpg)

Aside from the scales it's pretty much identical to my other Farmer.....except this one did come with a more usable edge. A bit sharper than my Smooth Ivory Bone one. Not razor sharp but it will cut through paper without hanging up and does removed arm hair with little effort. It came about average edge wise like most of my others.

All and all another superb piece from the guys over in Titusville!  :tu:

My Keen Kutter Scout finally arrived after being on back order for ages.

Overall I am pretty happy with it but there are a few flaws that I noticed right off the bat. The major one being the main blade is lazy on closing and the kick does not hold the nail nick high to clear the back of the caplifter. I get the impression that the tang is slightly undersized...there is very little spring tension on it in the closed position. It is possible that the backspring is binding a bit on that end and a little oiling and break-in will solve it. The tension on the remaining 3 blades are good.

Spork,

Nice one bud! The lazy on closing seems to be a consistant problem of a sorts with these as my buddy Marv got one of these when they first came out and his was similar. Bear is making these on old Camillus tooling, and they also just released their own Scout under the Bear MGC brand, done in Stagalon scales with all stainless blades.....SMKW's has them.

My buddy Marv got one of those too and it also has a soft mainblade backspring and is lazy on closing.

Bear has been doing pretty good with their own patterns recently, that I have noticed their QC has gotten better here. But they have now been doing at least 3 patterns that I know of using old Camillus tooling and they have been lacking in the QC department here in some regards.

Post by: 2xTap on October 25, 2009, 10:24:33 PM
Here's a couple I just recently got. These are two new patterns added to the most recent Colt Signature Series. Both are 3 1/2" closed Gunstocks and are imports......from my understanding SMKW's is having these made by the same people who build the Rough Riders. But if these two are any example these are built way better than any RR I own. Matter of fact these are the best built Chinese slip's I own or have ever handled.

(http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/9026/coltgunstocks01.jpg)

(http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/6614/coltgunstocks02.jpg)

(http://img2.imageshack.us/img2/5793/coltgunstocks03.jpg)

(http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/8435/coltgunstocks04.jpg)

As mentioned they are 3 1/2" closed, scales are Brown Jigged bone but look more like a Amber Bone. These sport the fancy angled bolsters which are made of nickle/silver and are grooved with the big Colt "C" stamped on the pivot end bolster. Liners and pins are brass. Scales have the Colt prancing pony shield. These knives are mirror polished inside and out, and the polish is flawless.

(http://img2.imageshack.us/img2/9171/coltgunstocks06.jpg)

While the same pattern the difference is in the blades. The first is set-up with a single Saber-type blade sporting dual pulls, one long and the other a short nail-nick along the Clip section of the blade. The second knife done in a more conventional 2-Blade setup with a Spear master blade and a Pen secondary. The blades on both Gunstocks have impeccable grinds and swedges, and extremely sharp edges that are evenly ground. The single blade version also has a blade of noticably thick stock, especially compared to the two blade version. The fit all around on both of these is totally gap-free.................

(http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/3081/coltgunstocks05.th.jpg) (http://img260.imageshack.us/i/coltgunstocks05.jpg/) (http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/2489/coltgunstocks07.th.jpg) (http://img260.imageshack.us/i/coltgunstocks07.jpg/)

The F&F on both had surpised me on a couple of levels. These knives are put together like they were made by Queen or GEC. They are that good. And they have nicely stout backsprings with half-stops, but the blades open so smooth you don't notice the half-stops until they pop into position. Gap-free fit, flawless polish, shaving sharp edges, blades sans any play, stout backsprings, beautifully finished bolsters, gorgeous jigged bone scales fitted seamlessly........these knives are built on a level I have not seen on anything from China ever.

Matter of fact, if the tangs didn't have "China" stamped on them you'd swear these were made here by likes of Case, Queen, CSC, Northwoods, or even GEC. I ain't kidding!

On top of that each knife came in a nicely built dispaly box that is foam lined and cut out with a felt like surface, and the lid is magnetically closed. Real nice.........

(http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/1905/coltgunstocks08.jpg)

I picked these up from a dealer over on Ebay for $21.99 each......for imports this is a bit pricey. But for the level of quality these are at it is well worth it. I just can't get over how well built these things are. I have a ton of import slipjoints from the likes of Rough Rider, Marbles, Kissing Crane, and even another Colt Signature Series from a previous run. And quite a few of these are of incredible quality given their price. But these newer Colt's are even better yet.

I highly recommend these for anyone looking for a inexpensive slipjoint.

Both are beautiful 2xTap, but that single blade clip point looks really outstanding to me.

And only a little over 20 bucks!  If Case made that knife they would probably charge 80 to 100 bucks for it.

Don't own one of these as they are of little interest to me. And besides, the actual Vic versions are so inexpensive that the cost difference isn't enough for me to even bother really. It's in the larger traditional patterns that the RR's come into their own.......for me anyway.

ringzero,

No worries bud, I didn't take it that way. I guess I came off sounding a bit different than I intended, my bad.

Anyway, to further explain........these tiny patterns I've never really had a interest in. Even of all the SAK's I own, there is only one Vic Classic in my collection. While I own a few I'm not all that interested in the Cadet sized VIC's either, they are just too small for me.

And while I do like the imported Rough Riders this particular one I had never even really looked at. Now if the Rough Rider line introduced some 91mm clones I would definitely get me some. Rough Rider does make a clone to a older Case Scout Knife pattern that is very nice.

Post by: 2xTap on October 31, 2009, 10:29:16 PM
This one just arrived a day ago. Been a while since I added any Scouts to the collection. I usually stick with the larger patterns as I am not all that fond of tiny knives, but I couldn't beat the price on this one.

(http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/7352/casejuniorscout01.jpg)

(http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/5060/casejuniorscout02.jpg)


This one is a fairly new pattern for Case, they call it a Junior Scout. Pattern is a #64090R on this one and is set-up tool wise just like most standard 4-blade Scouts in that it has a Mainblade, Can-Opener, Bottle-Opener/Screwdriver, and a Awl. And like most other Scouts it also has a Bail.

Where this one differs from most other Scout patterns is in size. This Junior Scout is 3 3/8" closed. And it's also much thinner and slender compared to standard Scout/Camper patterns. Here it is alongside one of my Case Campers which is of typical Scout size.........

(http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/1526/casejuniorscout04.jpg)

(http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/6640/casejuniorscout05.jpg)

It is small but actually in hand is bigger than I thought it would be. I've handled one of these before and even that one seemed dainty, at least as far as my memory of it went.

Build is real good as is the F&F. Blades/tools are of Case's "Tru-Sharp" stainless, bolsters and shield are nickle/silver, and the liners and pins are brass. Blade and Awl grinds are nicely done and typical of Case....the mainblade is extremely sharp. The knife is polished throughout. Scales on this version are polished Red G-10 and they are nicely executed and fitted here.

Backsprings have a good stoutness to them, the whole knife is virtually gap-free, there is no blade/tool play to be found, it's all put together really well.  :tu:

The only fault I can find, and it is a minor one, is in the backspring for the mainblade. It remains flush like the others when all the blades are closed but when the mainblade is opened fully the backspring here sits a little below flush. You can kind of see it here in this pic below where it looks as though there is a gap in the backspring to liner fit.......

(http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/6136/casejuniorscout03.jpg)

........no gap, just the backspring sitting below everything else.

Outside of that it is a solid well built piece. For those who prefer smaller slipjoints this one would do well. Though I suggest if one is interested in one of these, one should hunt for better prices. These usually go for around $60-$70.......and that is just way too much for these. I snagged this one on auction for $40.00, which is the only reason I own it. Aside from the fact it is a Scout pattern.  ;)

I got these in a few weeks ago but just finally got around to taking pics of them today. These two are Case fullsize 2-blade Folding Hunters, and both are "First Production Run" pieces that I could not pass up.......I got them both for a song NIB!

(http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/4069/casedafoldinghunter01.jpg)

These puppies are 5 1/4" closed, bigger than a Buck 110, to give you an idea of size. The Clip and Skinner blades are made of "Tru-Sharp" Stainless with nickle/silver bolsters. Pins and liners on both are brass. Both are of 2008 production and both sport the Case XX "Longtail C" First Production Run stamp on the pivot end shield side bolster. Scales are bone on both with one being done in Navy Blue jigged bone with the Case Red cloisonne shield, the other Dark Antique jigged bone with the Longtail C Silverscript inlay shield.

(http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9767/casefoldinghunters01.jpg)

Fit and finish on both is excellent, with the Navy Blue one having a couple small issues. On both the blades sport even grinds and very sharp edges, zero blade play, mirror polished throughout, seamless scale fit, heavy backsprings but not nailbreakers, clean tang stamps, everything pretty much flush in fit on both. And both come with nicely embossed leather button snap belt sheathes. These are heavy duty slipjoints.

And while the Dark Antique bone one is flawless, the Navy Blue one has two small issues. One being on the non-shield side scale there is a small gouge in the bone. Looks like a mess up during jigging. The other is also on the non-shield side backspring area, the backspring for the large Clip blade has a small hairline gap about a inch or so long running between it and the liner. Small issues and not really worth mentioning except for the fact I am kinda anal about such things. But all and all not bad.

(http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/1234/casenbfoldinghunter03.jpg)

Given that, these are still awesome blades. And being that I got both of them NIB for around $55.00 a piece.....the small issues the one has ain't bothering me a bit!  :D

These are my kind of slipjoints!  :tu:

Gareth,

I like it as well, I also have a Case Large Stockman handled in it. It does make for a sweet looking slippie!

jzmtl,

The names don't necessarily have a meaning per say, they are pattern identifiers. There isn't a general summary for all patterns from all makers on-line that I can find but there is one for Case patterns. It gives descriptions and pics to go along with the names for their slippies. Most of these also apply to other brand names that make similar patterns......go here: http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/wr_case/patterns_alphabetically/a_c.php

GMArthur,

I agree.....the Sodbusters are great slippies. I own a few myself.

nuphoria,

Quite a few companies make Sodbuster pattern slips, to include Case you also have those from Queen, Schatt & Morgan, Boker, German Eye, Bulldog, German Bull, Indian Head, Rough Rider, Kissing Crane, Buck Creek, Bear & Son, and a few others all make a Sodbuster. Though you will find most make at least one version in Yellow!

But, Case does have a new Workman Series coming out soon and all of this run is being handled in Blue Delrin. And they have a Large Sodbuster in this run.........

GMA,

I'm hoping they do a Jr. as well, but so far the only Soddie in this new line I have seen is the Large version.

Although, there is a #75 pattern Large Stockman in this line coming out......

And very inexpensive as well. While neither place has them in stock yet both SMKW's and Shepherd Hills has them listed on their site. The Large Stockman will be $39.99 at SMKW's and $38.99 at SHC. As for the Large Sodbuster it'll be $24.99 at SMKW and $22.99 at SHC!

Here's a few more I finally got some pics take of. I've had these for a few wekks now, real good quality on these............

(http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/5358/buckcreekdiamondbacks01.jpg)

(http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/7721/buckcreekdiamondbacks02.jpg)

These are Diamondback Stockmans from Buck Creek. Made in Solingen, Germany and are 4 1/4" closed. This is a brand that is kind of under the radar but has been around for quite a while. The quality on them is excellent.

(http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/4072/buckcreekdiamondbacks04.th.jpg) (http://img213.imageshack.us/i/buckcreekdiamondbacks04.jpg/) (http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/8425/buckcreekdiamondbacks03.th.jpg) (http://img214.imageshack.us/i/buckcreekdiamondbacks03.jpg/)

The first one is in Deer Stag and a special edition run done with dual shields. It has both the "Buck Creek" and "Buffalo Creek" shields and tang stamps. I had never heard of "Buffalo Creek" until I saw this one so I am assuming it's another "brand" under the Buck Creek name. The other is standard Buck Creek Diamondback done in smooth Buffalo Horn.

(http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/6718/buckcreekdiamondbacks06.jpg)

As mentioned they are both 4 1/4" closed and sport squared bolsters. Blades are 440A stainless steel, bolsters and shields are nickle/silver, pins and liners are brass. The fit and finish on these is very good. Both knives have clean blade grinds with evenly ground edges that are very sharp, all of the blades are mirror polished and are sans any blade play. Bolsters are mirror polished as well but are nicely contoured around their edges making them less pronounced than most other square bolstered stockmans. The backsprings on both knives are fairly stout with good snap to them, but not nailbreakers. The whole backspring area on both have a nice brush polished finish. Fit all around on both is virtually seamless. All parts are fitted very well, and even the Stag version with it's thick handle slabs fit up smoothly to the bolsters as they are tapered down to them and polished smooth here.

(http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/9936/buckcreekdiamondbacks05.jpg)

The only fault I can really find on any of them is on the Buffalo Horn version. When the mainblade is opened fully the backspring doesn't rest flush to the back of the knife. The backspring rests here slightly below the rest as you can kind of see in the pic above. Nothing major, and it does rest flush and seamless when the mainblade is closed.....just some nit-picking on my part.

All and all these are excellent Large Stockmans and given their sub-$50.00 price tags are great buys for anyone looking for a well made large framed 3-blade slipjoint.

They get my  :tu: :tu: approval!  :D

Traditional slipjoints are a favorite of mine. I used to have many but I ended up pairing them down to five with these three part of my core EDC rotation.

In order of appearance, a Case XX 6332 reverse gunstock stockman (1940-1964), a Case XX USA 6318 HE stockman (1965-1969), and a Queen City Cutlery SFO amber worm groove canoe in 1095 carbon steel.

Some more eye-candy here, my latest Case Classic addition that arrived a couple of days ago......

(http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/2784/caseclassicbrownbonestoj.jpg)

(http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/1510/caseclassicbrownbonestod.jpg)

This one another #40 pattern Jumbo Stockman at 4 3/8" closed built by Queen for the Case Classic Series done back in the 90's. This one is of 1996 production with jigged Brown Bone scales and the XX blade etch, and came mint unused with the factory box and all the associated paperwork.........

(http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/8485/caseclassicbrownbonesto.jpg)

Build quality and F&F is pretty much flawless. Blades are mirror polished 1095 with clean grinds and swedges and hair-popping edges. Bolsters and shield are polished nickle/silver with brass liners and pins. The carbon steel backsprings are brushed finished and quite stout, all blades have real good snap to them. Can't find a gap anywhere on this thing and all blades are sans any lateral play.....it's rock solid in build.

(http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/8485/caseclassicbrownbonesto.jpg)

(http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/8485/caseclassicbrownbonesto.jpg)

I still kick myself for not getting into these earlier when prices were a bit more reasonable. I'm having a hard time finding these now for under $100, and even this one was a slight fight in bidding but managed to pull it for $101.00 but lost out on a second one in another run that went up to $120.00!

But I got a few more of these in my sights and hoping to get lucky on some.

That is a particularly nice stockman 2xTap!  :drool:

I like the rounded bolsters on it. Most large Case stockman have the square bolsters. The rounded ones just seem more comfortable in the pocket. However, at 4 3/8" I am not sure how pocketable this stockman would be.

The long pull, 1095 steel and bone are great! The sheepsfoot blade looks more like a coping blade due to the sharper tip. Still very useful, IMO.

Another great choice!

Post by: 2xTap on November 15, 2009, 12:07:21 AM
GMArthur,

This particular pattern of Stockman from the Case Classic series is still widely available so if you are interested in one they aren't hard to find. Also, Queen built these in the older Winchester line, you can find these from time to time too. And, Queen is currently building this pattern for the MooreMaker brand of knives with a slightly different mainblade. Here's a Mooremaker #40 pattern in yellow smooth bone.......

(http://www.soonerstateknives.com/MM-5304YSB.jpg)

......they do several different handle materials in these, and they run from about $90.00 to $120.00 or so.

TFF,

Thanks bud! While I prefer square bolstered Stockman's I think this pattern is just right with the rounded bolsters. And as long as you have big pockets this pattern will be quite pocketable!  :D

It is a nice set but these do get pricey. But in truth the price is not too bad considering each of these knives by themselves (of the Mint Set variety) would go for about a $100 a piece if sold separately, a bit more for the larger patterns.

I know.  :)  Just seeing it all together like that was overwhelming.  I love the bermuda green bone, my little stockman is my pride and joy right now.  I'd love using it, showing it off, or just sitting there looking at it.  I'd like to get a couple more of them and I figure I will eventually.  You are such a great resource for the slipjoint stuff.  I love reading your posts and drooling over the pics.  Thanks, 2xTap.

Glad you enjoy my posts and pics, and that they help. I always enjoy getting people interested in the traditional patterns. More eye-candy to come........I just received the two Case large stockmans I ordered and I got a sweet Schatt & Morgan on the way. Just waiting for the weather to break here so I can get some pics taken.

If you like the Bermuda Green, as well as the fancy bolsters of the Mint Set runs......Case has fairly recently released a new laser etched series in Bermuda Green called Bermuda Green Ivy. They are actually priced a bit closer to regular production runs but are fancy bolstered like the Mint Sets. Here's a pic of the Trapper in the series........

For some reason, that little green Mini Copperlock has always appealed to me over any other color.

So far I haven't bought one, but every time I look at a pic of one my resolve weakens.

Something about the shape of the blade appeals to me - looks like a perfect gentleman's knife.  Of course since I'm not a gentleman, I have no real need of a gentleman's knife.  ;>

 Got some pics ready of my Case Brothers Sowbelly in red bone. I have owned knives from just about every major knife manufacturer and I have to say that this knife probably has the best fit and finish of any production knife I've handled. I can't find a single flaw on this knife at all. If I had to nit pick something I could say that the "talk" on the spey blade is not as snappy as on the other two blades, but that is being really really picky.

 Here is a shot of the knife all closed up. I think the Sowbelly pattern is very comfortable to use. It seems to fill my hand nicely. The hump or "belly" does really add a lot to the stockman pattern.
(http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs51/i/2009/321/6/5/Case_Brothers_Sowbelly_by_puddwakkr.jpg)

Here is a couple of shots of the main clip blade. Blades are all ground nicely with no rub at all. The edge bevels are also very well done, being very acute and sharp.
(http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs50/i/2009/321/c/c/Case_Sowbelly_Open_by_puddwakkr.jpg)

(http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs51/i/2009/321/d/a/Case_Sowbelly_Edge_Bevel_by_puddwakkr.jpg)

 The blade stock is a bit thicker than most of my other stockman style knives. Making the backsprings and overall thickness a bit more as well. All the liners and springs are flush.
(http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs50/i/2009/321/e/b/Case_Sowbelly_Spine_pic_by_puddwakkr.jpg)

 This is my first "Case Brothers" stamped knife and I can't say enough how impressed I am with the quality of it. Total thumbs up on this one. :tu:

Case makes some really nice sowbelly stockman knives. They are stout like you said and feel quite good in the hand. Schatt & Morgan also makes a fine sowbelly stockman though theirs is just a tiny bit smaller but still excellent. Congrats!  :tu:

My other Case Classic came in a few days back and the weather has not been cooperating. But I managed to get a few shots of it taken today. Please forgive the cat hair on the blade in the first pic, I had three of my five felines surrounding me on the floor as I took these pics. They acted like they have never seen me do this before and were quite intrigued, particularly of the bright shiney knife I had in front of me......crazy cats!

(http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/3519/caseclassicredsmoothstoj.jpg)

(http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/8489/caseclassicredsmoothsto.jpg)

Like my previous one this Stockman is a pattern #40 built by Queen for the Case Classic line. It's of 1998 manufacture and has 1095 carbon steel blades, brass liners and pins, nickle/silver bolsters and shield, and Red smooth bone scales. This one is a bit unique in that of all of these I have seen over the years this is the first one I've come across where the dye of the bone wasn't consistant throughout......as you can see there is a small section at the top of the shield side scale where the dye of the bone didn't get to or didn't take......

(http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/8489/caseclassicredsmoothsto.jpg)

Fit and finish of this one is equal to my others, and that's to say pretty much flawless. Stout backsprings, clean blade grinds, sharp edges, great mirror polish, zero blade play, backsprings remain flush with blades opened or closed, no gaps anywhere, just a quality made product.........

(http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/8489/caseclassicredsmoothsto.jpg)

This one came mint unused and in it's original box but did not have all of the original paperwork. Which is probably why I got it for fairly cheap on auction.  :tu:

Ok, now here's another one I just recently got and this beast drew alot of "Ohhh's & Ahhh's" from my guys at work.....even from the non-slippie crowd. And I did the same when I pulled it from it's box when it first arrived. Man is this thing sweet!

(http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/2893/smpecanbonestockman01.jpg)

(http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/8011/smpecanbonestockman02.jpg)

These are new for 2009 from Queen Cutlery. This Stockman is one of four versions made for this SFO run of Schatt & Morgan's. As many of you likely know my favorite Stockman pattern is a 4 1/4" square bolstered large Stockman of the Case #75 and Queen #49 pattern variety. This is of the same ilk with a small twist. It is a Gunstock Stockman and is a 4 1/4" closed square bolstered 3-blade beauty.

(http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/3600/smpecanbonestockman05.jpg)

These are short run pieces of only 100 made in each handle material and consist of mirror-polished and swedged 420HC blades, fancy angled and grooved nickle/silver bolsters, brass liners and pins, and a nickle/silver shield. The blade set-up is typical Stockman but the main Clip Point blade features a half-length swedge and sports a long pull as well as a nail nick on the Clip section. The scales on this particular one are jigged Pecan Bone........

(http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/9871/smpecanbonestockman03.jpg)

.......this bone is very close in color and look to the Amber Carved Stag Bone Queen uses on their ACSB Series. Here is a pic of the S&M Pecan Gunstock Stockman (Top) alonside my Queen ACSB Cattle King Stockman (Bottom). As you can see the Pecan Bone is a bit lighter in color (and you can also see the slight difference in the frame design here as well and why it's called a Gunstock Stockman).....

(http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/5203/smpecanbonestockman06.jpg)

Fit and finish is as good as it gets and is the equal of the best I have in my collection. No gaps anywhere, zero blade play and zero blade rub throughout, flawless mirror polish everywhere, clean blade grinds and sharp edges, stout backsprings with real good "Walk & Talk", flush backspring fit with blades opened or closed, the F&F is as seamless and solid as one can get from a production knife. Near custom quality at a price point below $100!

(http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/1783/smpecanbonestockman04.jpg)

These are the kinds of slipjoints I really love to own. Great pattern, great quality, impeccable F&F, and affordable. For those of you that don't know, the Schatt & Morgan brand is the premium line from Queen Cutlery, and it shows!  :2tu:

Got these in a week or so ago and the weather finally cleared up for me to take some pics. Both are #75 pattern Case Large Stockmans....easily my favorite Stockman pattern. The top one is in Mediterranean Blue Bone with the Longtail C Silverscript shield and the bottom one is from their new American Workman Series in jigged Blue Delrin.

Both sit in at 4 1/4" closed with Tru-Sharp stainless blades, Nickle/Silver bolsters and shields, and brass pins and liners.

The Mediterranean Blue is of more typical Case finish in that everything is polished to a mirror shine and it sports some nicely jigged bone. The American Workman version is a more economical run of knives and while polished in the backspring area and on the bolsters, the blades are done in a satin brush finish.

Fit and finish on both is really good but with a few small glitches. The Mediterranean Bone version has a little blade rub between the Spey and Sheepsfoot blade, and the Blue delrin piece has a slight hairline gap about a inch long that runs between the Spey blade backspring and the brass backspring spacer. Just a couple small hiccups in what are otherwise excellently fitted pieces.

(http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/7023/casebluedelrinlargestoc.jpg)

Both have clean blade grinds and razor sharp edges, zero blade play all around, both have nicely stout backspring but are still easy to to open and close, all backsprings sit flush with the blades opened or closed, and aside from the one mention they are both virtually gap free in fit throughout.

Add in their inexpensive cost which for me was $41.99 for the Med Blue Bone and $30.99 for the Blue Delrin version, and you have some great American-made Large Stockmans......and they fit right in with the rest of my Stockman collection!  ;)

Nice stockman knives 2xTap! I kind of like the satin brushed look on the blades on the Workman model. I am thinking that a shadow version of the workman (no bolsters) would look particularly nice.

Beautiful Stockmans (Stockmen?) there 2xTap.

Really love the look of those Blue Bone scales, although the Blue Delrin isn't bad looking either.  The reasonably priced Blue Delrin model would be a great EDC knife for nearly anyone.

Hope that Case can continue making models like these in America, and selling them at very reasonable prices, despite the cutthroat competition from Rough Rider and other Chinese outfits.

The Shing was nice Ben, but heavy and a pig to open. It was also D2, and not so easy to sharpen (at least for me). It was as close to a fixed blade as a slippy can get though - when it was open it was rock solid and took a definite effort to close.

The Klaas is from the 50s, a chap on BB found a load of them somewhere as NOS. It really is the business.

Always said I'd get more pics up of this one but I never got round to it.

I have loads of mixed felings about this one.  This was the knife I believe I always wanted, but there is just something about it that just doesn't click with me.  It is gorgeous, but I have come close to parting with it many times and TBH the only reason I haven't is because I know I will lose out on it money wise.  Hopefully one day it will click with me.

That's the problem I had with the Shing, I just didn't feel anything for it, didn't use it and sold it on. On t'other hand though sometimes it works the other way - I love my little sodbuster when I really didn't expect to.

Beautiful :drool:  but I kinda see your point on the clip point :D I have found myself being drawn back to my old 2 bladed Boker congress knife with the sheepsfoot blade :) I really am beginning to really go for that blade shape now

Out of curiosity what blade shape might you have went with if you had to do it over :think:

Well guys I have gone off the deep end, with help from Unsub my slip joint collection has soared to include 9 more slippies. For like a month I have carried slip joints and a one hander has not entered my pocket at all. Folks like Jack Knife on another forum and Latino Heat on our own forum here have pushed me me over the edge and I have become a slip joint lover once again. Let me show you what I got....

The blue case was tradded away before I got these but two more additions are not in the picture, a yellow handled rough rider peanut and a US Classic whittler. What you say guys? Do I have the fever? BTW I think I have a growing love for Barlow knives and I might have to acquire more.

Here is the beauty my better half got me for Christmas this year. A Yellowhorse "Mustang" Trapper.

(http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/349/yellowhorsecasetrapper0w.jpg) (http://img64.imageshack.us/i/yellowhorsecasetrapper0w.jpg/)

(http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/9702/yellowhorsecasetrapper0.jpg)

(http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/9702/yellowhorsecasetrapper0.jpg)

It's built on a 2008 Case #3254 Fullsize Trapper with Tru-Sharp stainless blades. The knife itself sports a nickle/silver "Mustang" shield centered up on some healthy slabs of Leopard Stone which are accented with nickel/silver spacers and bookended by bands of Green Malichite and Black Onyx.

The nickle/silver bolsters are fully worked and both blades have full length filework along the spines. The backsprings were left smooth. Fit and finish of everything is flawless. The knife came in a real nice Brian Yellowhorse engraved wood display box with fitted blue felt inserts and the Brian Yellowhorse certificate.

(http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/9702/yellowhorsecasetrapper0.jpg)

It's a beautiful knife, but I did find something a bit odd with this one. While the knife came in a "Brian Yellowhorse" box and came with a "Brian Yellowhorse" certificate.....the backside of the mainblade is actually engraved with the signature of Ron Yellowhorse......Brian's brother. Interesting!  :think:

(http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/9702/yellowhorsecasetrapper0.th.jpg) (http://img51.imageshack.us/i/yellowhorsecasetrapper0.jpg/) (http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/9702/yellowhorsecasetrapper0.th.jpg) (http://img690.imageshack.us/i/yellowhorsecasetrapper0.jpg/)...click on thumbs for larger view!

Not sure of the particulars of this, figured maybe it was a mix up possibly in packaging, but the knife came from Richard Harris, the largest Yellowhorse dealer I know of and also a friend of the Yellowhorse family.....and checking on the old listing for this knife he even states it's a Brain Yellowhorse piece with Ron's signature. Possibly a piece done over by both or something, not sure. I am going to e-mail Brian next week to find out for sure.

But anyway, I couldn't be happier. I love these Yellowhorse custom pieces!  :2tu:

If you have to ask the question the answer is already no.

Well, I can't see the thread you linked to but I am familiar with Bill's work, and seeing how it's a 3-blader and in Stag I am going to assume the price is probably in the $1400-$1500 range, maybe a touch more as this one has full filework and it's a Splitback.

For me, ain't no knife worth that much. Artwork at some of it's finest though it may be, excellent craftsmanship, some of the best in custom slippies........for the price of that knife I could get a sweet AR or decked out 1911. No thanks!

Hell, even when I have it to blow I am hard pressed to spend up around $300 for a knife. And it's got to be one hell of a knife for me to do that!

If you go back to around the 25th of October in this very thread you will find my review of this particular Colt Gunstock and the other 2-blade Gunstock they released. These are very well made slippies for the money.

The fit and finish of mine surpass any of my Rough Riders, and are the equal of many higher priced U.S. and German slips I got. I was really impressed by these.

This has to be one of the really nice things about it; no badges on the scales and very little on the blade.  One side of the main blade does say "440 razor sharp steel" but I suspect I'll be able to mostly rub this away.  I do like a nice clean looking knife. :tu:

Mike,

A Queen in D2 is a good choice. Some others with "premium" steels to look at would be the actual GEC brand with 440-C blades. Also look at the Schatt & Morgan F&W Series which are done in ATS-34. Case did a Series run of Tested Red Barnboard in 154CM.

Some others would be Northwoods, they do alot of slippies in D2 as well. And Canal Street Cutlery has done runs of slips in D2 and 440-C.

Mike,

I kinda figured as much......just throwing some choices out there for ya. Can't say that I know for sure but I would assume out of the bunch the regular Queen stuff to be a mite cheaper in the UK than the premium lines from them. If so I highly recommend going with the Amber Carved Stag Bone (ACSB Series) from Queen with the D2 blades...........

If it's a good one then it's a proper Schrade Smiley, if it's a piece of crap, then it's a Taylor Craplery one

Unfortunately, I'm not a man of discernment & taste, so I wouldn't be able to tell the difference :)

Yes you would- they are usually pretty obvious.

The most easily defined feature will be on the blade tang, where it says either China or USA.  If it's China, then it's a Taylor Cutlery piece of crap.  If the joints and seams are large enough to park an economy car in, it's a Taylor Cutlery piece of crap.  If it snaps in half and bursts into flames when you try to use it, it's a Taylor Cutlery piece of crap.  If you spend hours sharpening it and the edge is still too round to open an envelope, it's a Taylor Cutlery piece of crap.  If you bought it more than three years ago, it's a real Schrade, which honestly wasn't the best quality knife out there, but it beats the pants off the Taylor Cutlery hunks of crap.

Basically, if it's a Taylor Cutlery model, it will be obvious.

By the way, I don't know if I've mentioned this yet but Taylor Cutlery really sucks.  The best part about Taylor Cutlery being a bunch of cheap barstids?  They know their stuff is crap, which is why I haven't been sued yet.  However, they also don't care, because they go to bed at night on mattresses stuffed with money, dreaming about what else they can make the 5 year olds in the sweatshops make for them so they can make even more money.  All while waving Old Glory in people's faces and showing photos of brave US troops in war zones, carrying Schrades.  My guess is they are either pre-Taylor Schrades or those soldiers aren't with us today, or are models posing on tanks.  The only good news is, Taylor knives suck so bad, they fail long before they are needed for a life threatening situation.

Def

A couple of years back, I offered to make [S. Taylor] a PROPER vintage look Schrade Old Timer multitool using high-end components, not the typical Chinese import-spec stuff. Oh well...if they had been interested, I may have never gotten around to working on Multitasker  >:D

And from a bidness standpoint, I guess they are laughing all the way to the bank  :think:

I just bought this beauty and it is a fantastic knife. It's a little heavy at 2.9oz, but the addition of G-10 instead of the usual bone scales make up for the extra weight. I've always loved Case knives, but I'm not a big fan of bone scales. The G-10 on this knife is stunning, pictures just don't do it justice. It almost looks like a really fine carbon fiber. I highly recommend buying this knife if you're looking for a high quality slippie that won't break the bank.  :tu:

Well, I have my little Case that my Dad bought me years ago, and it's never really seen any use.

I can see why they appeal to people, especially people who like to collect, just not my cup of tea I guess. I repeat though - the G10 and silver / nickel does make a huge difference compared to the stag / bone / textured plastic scales I've seen mostly - yours looks great :tu:

Here's some recent eye-candy of a few new toys I ordered recently that arrived the other day...........

(http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/3181/queenbemstockmangunstoc.jpg)

(http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/3181/queenbemstockmangunstoc.jpg)

Queen Cutlery #40 pattern Gunstock and #49 pattern Cattle King Stockman from their "Birds Eye Maple" series. The 2-blade Gunstock is 3 1/2" closed and the 3-blade Cattle King is 4 1/4" closed. Both sport nickle/silver bolsters, brass liners and pins, and brush finished flat ground D2 Tool Steel blades. The scales are Birds Eye Maple, and the one thing that has stirred on-line controversy. Alot of people really dislike this series because of the color of the BEM on these. I have to admit when I think of BEM this is not what comes to mind. But I also have to admit I really like this color of BEM......I think it is a very attractive handle material.

On my two here the Gunstock's BEM is a bit darker in color than that on the Cattle King........

(http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/3181/queenbemstockmangunstoc.jpg)

(http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/3181/queenbemstockmangunstoc.jpg)

.......either way I still find it an attractive scale material.

Fit and finish on both is about perfect. Both have zero blade play throughout, clean blade grinds and finish as well as sharp edges (though not quite razor shaving sharp), flush fit backsprings with blades opened or closed, and virtually seamless fit all around.

(http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/3181/queenbemstockmangunstoc.jpg)

Only faults I can find is a short very faint gap on the Gunstock directly above the center pin between the shield side liner and backspring. Impossible to tell unless you are anal like me and really looking. And the Gunstock has backsprings a bit lighter than I am used to on a Queen. They ain't lazy just lighter than most.

All and all though they are excellent American made slippies. And I am glad I jumped on these when I did as this line is now discontinued and the prices are still reasonable. This line is discontinued to make room for a new series that has just been released that replaces the BEM with African Curly Zebra Wood.  :2tu:

I admit I was looking at the first one and wondering what the heck the scales were made of, I'd never have guessed at BEM.  Has it been stained at all, or are they just using some funny coloured wood?  I think they look very attractive, but I might feel differently if I had ordered one, expecting normal BEM, and opened the box to see that.

Well, I don't have many. Someday I'll start buying some, cause I like slippies a  lot, especially the smaller ones. Here's the only two I have that I actually care much about, as they have sentimental value. One on the left is my dad's, on the right my grandpa's.

Finally got some pics done of a couple new pieces that arrived last week.

(http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/714/gecamberbonetoothpick02.jpg)

(http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/6288/gecamberbonetoothpick03.jpg)

This first one is a new release from Great Eastern Cutlery, their 4" closed Toothpick pattern. This one has 440-C blades, nickle/silver bolsters and shield, brass liners and pins, and the scales are very nice Jigged Antique Amber Bone.

(http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/4643/gecamberbonetoothpick01.jpg)

The Toothpick has never been a pattern I particularly like but GEC's take on it is well done as it is larger than most standard Toothpicks but smaller than the larger Texas Toothpicks some makers offer. And at this in-between size they kept the broader frame style of the larger ones making this pattern much more ergonomic in the hand. It's actually growing on me. It's a neat pattern.

(http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/8369/gecamberbonetoothpick04.jpg)

The build quality is typical GEC....zero gaps, zero blade play, stout backspring, clean polish throughout, and a decent edge. F&F is near perfect.

(http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/8035/gecamberbonetoothpick05.jpg)

I did find one small very minor F&F issue though. When the blade is fully opened the backspring doesn't sit quite flush with the back of the frame. It sticks up just a hair, hard to see unless you really eyeball it or rub your finger over this area when the blade is opened. Nothing big, but the only thing I could find that could be considered a issue in what is otherwise a perfectly made slippie.

This next one is also a new release, that from Case. And it's a beaut. It's from their new Silverscript Series in Hunter Green Jigged Bone.

(http://img2.imageshack.us/img2/7624/casehuntergreenlargesto.jpg)

(http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/7624/casehuntergreenlargesto.jpg)

And in one of my favorite patterns from them, #75 Large Stockman! At 4 1/4" closed it sports mirror polished Tru-Sharp stainless blades with flawless grinds and sharp edges, nickle/silver bolsters and shield, brass liners and pins, and that deep green jigged bone with hints of blue that they call Hunter Green but the color looks an awful lot like their Bluegrass Bone and Aquamarine from a few years ago.

(http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/7624/casehuntergreenlargesto.jpg)

Fit and finish is near perfect. No blade play throughout, clean grinds, near flawless mirror polish, sharp edges, stout backsprings that remain flush with blades opened or closed, and near seamless fit all around......except in one area. There is a small hairline gap between the mainblade backspring and the brass spacer up towards the mainblades pivot end. It's real short and very fine, you can just make it out in my bad pic below. Nothing major and it doesn't affect anything, but it is there.

(http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/7624/casehuntergreenlargesto.jpg)

Otherwise it's another sweet piece from Case, and alot of knife for a mere $43.00 bucks.

I appreciate the comments. The price was quite reasonable for a custom compared to a higher price knife like a Sebenza and the like. I have a daughter starting college in about a year so this was going to be my last big purchase for myself for quite some time.

Got another new one myself just a few days ago. A recent release from Great Eastern, this one another from their "Yellow Rose" line............

(http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/5883/gecyellowrosefurtakertr.jpg)

(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/5883/gecyellowrosefurtakertr.jpg)

It's a #53 pattern Northfield Furtaker Trapper. The closed length is 4 1/8" with yellow smooth bone scales. The bolsters are angled and grooved with pinched ends, and are made of Nickle/silver as is the Rose shield. Liners and pins are brass. The long Clip and Wharncliffe blades are mirror polished 1095 carbon steel, flat ground with decent edges.

Backsprings have typical GEC stoutness but aren't nailbreakers, and they remain flush with the blades opened or closed. The fit here, as well as with the rest of the knife is virtually gap free.....

(http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/5883/gecyellowrosefurtakertr.jpg)

And the overall finish is just as good with all surfaces done in a clean mirror polish aside from the backspring area which has a slight brushed look. And the bone is superb.....

(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/5883/gecyellowrosefurtakertr.jpg)

The only fault I can find in this, well it's not a fault really......more of a personal preference, is in the blade steel. Not a fan of carbon steel in slippies. With their access and use of 440-C I don't see why they don't make more slippies in this steel. This Yellow Rose series would be 10 times better with some 440-C blades, but regardless it's still a great knife and I really like this series.

But needing my 440-C fix, I also just ordered another GEC new release today. Not a fan of small patterns but I wanted to give one of theirs a try. And it is bladed in 440-C. Should have this one early next week..........

A few days back my latest order from CollectorKnives.net (http://www.collectorknives.net/) arrived, a new release from Great Eastern Cutlery in their smallest pattern. I'm not one much for small patterns but it is a GEC and it's bladed in 440-C so I figured I'd give one a try.

(http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/7613/gecezopengrapebone01.jpg)

(http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/8989/gecezopengrapebone02.jpg)

It's their #25 pattern EZ-Open Barlow in Grape Jigged Bone.

The pattern in 3" closed, and this particular one sports a flat ground Sheepsfoot blade. Bolsters and shield are nickle/silver and the liners and pins are brass.

(http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/7205/gecezopengrapebone04.jpg)

Fit and finish is superb. No gaps, no blade play, stout backspring, clean mirror polish throughout, backspring remains flush with blade opened or closed, clean blade grinds and a decently sharp edge. Can't find a fault with it. It's as good a build as you can find.

(http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/4900/gecezopengrapebone03.jpg)

Preference wise this one does sport a half-stop which I can live without. And then there is the size. I went into this one knowing how small it is, and usually I am surprised to find that while a particular knife is small it's not as small as I imagined. This one though turned out to be smaller than I imagined. It is tiny, and is the same length as my thumb. That's just too damn small to be of use for me. Here it is alongside a Case #54 pattern fullsize Trapper which measures 4 1/8" closed..........

(http://img532.imageshack.us/img532/8954/gecezopengrapebone05.jpg)

As a user this one would be a chore to work with as my hands are just too large for such a small pattern. That said this would a be a great one for those who live in areas with restrictive laws limiting blade size or requiring non-locking folders. And talk about pocket friendly, this thing disappears in a pocket.

All told it's a well made knife with an excellent blade and some real nice bone. Way too small for me personally but might make an excellent EDC for others.

Now if GEC would make a larger version at about 4" closed or so then they would really have something here!  :D

My first traditional slip joint. Just a cheap rough rider nothing special. Nicely made and polished, there are gaps here and there if scrutinized, but for the price I'm not complaining. It's about as sharp as a butter knife thou, so off to the stone it goes.

Good looking knife jzmtl, if a little ostentatious for my taste.  I'm still very impressed as to the quality of Rough Rider knifes given the cost.  Shame it wasn't sharp though, mine had a respectable working edge on it when it came and seems to hold it well enough so I don't see you having any issues once it's sharpened up. :tu:
Title: Re: Show your slip joint's thread!
Post by: jzmtl on May 17, 2010, 11:32:05 PM
Yeah the handle is a bit over the top eh?  :D I've never had a stone handled knife so I thought heck why not, the box claim to be real material but I'm clueless about them so can't tell.

I'm in the middle of reprofling it, and the steel seems quite decent, much harder than the leatherman c33 I did a few days ago. So far the only thing I'm worried about is the backspring, some people on BF say it only last a year or two before breaking.

The only time I've come across those little purse pouches they contained Sheffield made penknives, though they had normally about rotted away.  Without a tang stamp we'll never know for certain but given the blade style and pouch plus the fact that almost every old penknife you find at car boots originated in Sheffield I'd feel pretty confident in saying that's where it came from :)

I'd be inclined to agree. I've found a nice thread on BB, with pics of similar, but not quite the same knives: http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?55385-Vintage-Sheffield-folder-s-(pic-heavy-!)

The unusual shaped smaller blade features in a couple of pics on the BB thread, so I'm convinced its a Sheffield job as you said Neil. (I'm on page 22 of that thread now - only 80 odd to go) :D

That'd make a nice watch pocket knife :tu:

It would! It's a very practical little knife. Just about 3.25" closed.

OAL open: 16.5cm
closed: 9cm
edge: 6cm

thank you.... they sure are.... somewhere along they way case lost something. i don't know when how or why but the new cases just don't compare favorably (at least the examples i have). i have a 'pocketworn' stockman that i bought new (10 years ago) for EDC that has no snap and never really did. i stopped EDC way back when for that very reason. i think case is making knives more for collectors than users now and that is a shame. all the more reason to keep the 73' stockman factory origional.

Can't say I've seen any real difference in quality between the older Case knives and the new ones. They do cater more now to the collector, offering a slew of runs and in numerous handle materials. But the overall build quality, fit and finish, as I can tell is still as good as it was.

you're probably right. i just checked my cases i've bought in the last 10 years and fit and finish seems to be at the same level as before. the most notable difference to me is the spring strength. out of the seven i checked all but a pocketworn canoe seem weak to me. the gunstocks being the worst.
it is not a fair assumption to say that case lost something (in my case spring strength) based on this limited experience. the only other older model i have is a 77' half whitler and the secondary blade does not have the snap i would like it to have.

I've had a reverse experience, in my case; my two '79 Peanuts have much harder backsprings than my more modern Cases; not that I mind, because I tend to chop off my fingernails, so I prefer the current, almost-SAK-strength, backsprings.

it is not a fair assumption to say that case lost something (in my case spring strength) based on this limited experience. the only other older model i have is a 77' half whitler and the secondary blade does not have the snap i would like it to have.

I've had a reverse experience, in my case; my two '79 Peanuts have much harder backsprings than my more modern Cases; not that I mind, because I tend to chop off my fingernails, so I prefer the current, almost-SAK-strength, backsprings.

i'm not sure i understand what you mean  :think:

Err, I think I actually added one word too many. :/  In my experience, my two older 1979 Peanuts are very difficult to open due to strong backsprings, while my newer Case knives are much easier to open - with the difficulty to deploy the blades on par with a Victorinox knife.  All around, I actually prefer the "softer" backsprings because if they were as difficult for me to deploy the newer knives as they are on the older ones, I'd have been turned off of Case for sheer inability to actually open a blade when I needed it. :/

sappyg & Sazabi,

I guess it depends on the patterns. Most of my Case knives have good spring tension to them but most of mine are bigger patterns. Gunboats and #75 Large Stockman patterns, all have good backspring strength. My Seahorses are heavy on the mainblade and a bit lighter on the secondary blades (dual backsprings), and my #47 Stockman are about average as are my Case Trappers. But then I have been a bit spoiled by GEC, so many a slippie don't seem quite as heavy in the backsprings as they use to........I've got #23 Pioneers from Great Eastern that if not opened properly will snap thumbnails!

But while I like good stout backsprings, they are only part of the equation. Overall quality of build from all parts fit to one another, to blade grinds and edges, down to the finish on all parts. The only real difference I have noticed in new Case knives compared to older ones is now there is alot more "bright" dyed bone, alot more fancy shields, and a little too much blade etching. Oh, and they use their CV steel alot less now.....which for me is a good thing.

no dought about that.... used ones are are few and far between and there looks to be a considerable backlog.

i had set my sights on a small sebenza but now i'm not so sure  :think: regardless i gotta save for either. i like menefee's style... a lot. very clean and understated. i keep going back to the word 'crisp'... how's the snap?

Amici,
Here are the two I've been using for EDC the most as of lately, a Case Knives stockman and pocket worn Trapper in a nice purple bone and both in stainless steel..

These are truly classic patterns that I might add is a real pleasure to carry them once more..

Cheers,

i've been carrying a SAK for the past 4 years straight but lately i have been going towards the traditional slip. while waiting for my rough rider knives to arrive i decided to EDC a few of my favorites.  this is a boker stockman i've had for maybe six years and EDC'd quite a bit back in the day.

ok... patiently waiting for my rough riders to arrive and pulled another slippy from the cabinet.
kissing crane whitler has always been a favorite on mine. excellent snap on all blades and very comfortable to EDC.

(http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv250/sappyg/k061.jpg)

(http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv250/sappyg/k060.jpg)

much to my horror F&F is terrible. side to side blade play is an understatement. the best way to describe it is 'wobble'.... literally... they wobble. funny i never noticed before but today while whitling i became so concerned that i stopped using it even for basic cuts.

(http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv250/sappyg/k059.jpg)

i've had this one for about seven years and EDC'd quite a bit but never over worked it IMO. i'm a sucker for carbon steel and the whitler pattern but this one is being retired... for my own good.

Its the perfect slippie for me.  The backspring is just tight enough, I can open it by pinching it (very short brittle nails), and its the perfect size.  Only problem is...I'm afraid to carry it.

Haven't posted any new eye-candy to this thread in a while, finally got some new stuff to change that. I've had this one for a little while, got it back when I got that Remington Repro BSA Scout, and just now got around to snapping some pics.

(http://a.imageshack.us/img829/8817/beargreenjumbotrapper01.jpg)

(http://a.imageshack.us/img248/6034/beargreenjumbotrapper02.jpg)

(http://a.imageshack.us/img823/3582/beargreenjumbotrapper05.jpg)

It's a Bear & Son Heritage Series Jumbo Trapper in Green Jigged Bone. Been wanting one of these since seeing a few a friend of mine has gotten over the last year but I wasn't going to pay the average price they have been wanting for these.....I just as soon get another GEC Pioneer. But when this one came up for sale at $39.95 I jumped at it.

It's 4 1/2" closed with brass liners and pins and lanyard tube, nickle/silver bolsters, and 440A stainless blades. At first glance it's a typical jumbo trapper with some real good looking bone. Overall the F&F is pretty good with even edge bevels, nice mirror polish, decent backspring strength, usuably sharp edges, zero blade play throughout, and a almost gap free fit in build.

On closer inspection it does have a few faults. First is a backspring gap between the backside liner and the secondary blade's backspring, running from the bolster down about a little over a inch. Not quite a hairline but not huge either, I can just barely see light through it.

(http://a.imageshack.us/img85/919/beargreenjumbotrapper04.jpg)

Second is the finish on the backside head of the center pin. Here it appears the knife wasn't positioned correctly when the machine that finishes off the heads of the pins did its job.....

(http://a.imageshack.us/img41/47/beargreenjumbotrapper06.jpg)

......it was off-center and cut into both the pin and the bone. Their QC was definitely on break the day this one was made. It doesn't affect anything except make for an unsightly looking pin. But this is something that should not have made it out the door.

But outside of that it's not a bad Trapper, tighten up the QC a bit and this thing would be sweet. For $40 it would make an excellent user. If I paid anymore than that it would have been sent back. For an American made slippie which usually costs in the $60-$70 range they need to do better, and I have seen flawless examples from them. With what they are doing if they tightened up their QC they could be a force in the slipjoint market, but it seems they have a tendancy to fall back into their earlier Bear MGC days.

I've been wanting some of these since SMKW's revived the brand. But like many other things, once I have the money to do it I wind up getting something else. Anyway, when this popped up on Knives Live at $49.99 on sale, well.....out came the credit card!

It's from the Colonel Coon Autumn Gold Smooth Bone series. These are built by Queen Cutlery and this particular one is based on their large #49 Cattle King Stockman at 4 1/4" closed.

(http://a.imageshack.us/img841/6349/colonelcoonagsblargesto.jpg)

(http://a.imageshack.us/img690/6349/colonelcoonagsblargesto.jpg)

(http://a.imageshack.us/img256/6349/colonelcoonagsblargesto.jpg)

Build is typical with brass liners and pins, nickle/silver bolsters and CC shield, and 420HC blades. The F&F is almost flawless. Aside from a hairline gap running between the backside liner and secondary backspring.......

(http://a.imageshack.us/img831/6349/colonelcoonagsblargesto.jpg)

..........I can't see any light through it but the fine line is there and is about 3 inches long. (NOTE: My buddy Marv picked up this same knife as well about 3 weeks ago and his has the exact same hairline gap as mine, in the same place and almost the same length....odd!)But aside from that faint gap the F&F is perfect. Flawless blade grinds with sharp even edges, near flawless mirror polish throughout, flush fit springs with blades opened or closed, stout backspring tension, zero blade play anywhere, and all built on a great pattern.

And that Autumn Gold Smooth Bone is sweet, polished nice and smooth with a seamless transition between scales and bolsters and not one pin to be felt. Dragging your fingers across the sides of this knife the only thing you feel is the shield. For $50 bucks it's a nice Queen built Stockie!  :2tu:

Picked up a few new Northwoods slippies from Derrick over at KnivesShipFree.com this week, One a pattern I don't own any of and another that has become a favorite of mine.

I'll start off first with with the one I've not owned any of before.....the English Jack. Liked the pattern as it came from Queen Cutlery in some of their runs. Just never bought one. Seen these Northwoods versions just recently with the long Sheeps mainblade and had to have one.

(http://a.imageshack.us/img844/6992/northwoodsgreenenglishj.jpg)

(http://a.imageshack.us/img341/6992/northwoodsgreenenglishj.jpg)

(http://a.imageshack.us/img507/6992/northwoodsgreenenglishj.jpg)

This one is 4 1/2" closed and done in a nice deep Green Jigged Bone. The blades are mirror polished 420HC stainless and the knife sports nickle/silver bolsters and shield, and brass liners and pins. Overall F&F is real good but does have a few spots along the backspring area were there are faint gaps between liners and springs........

(http://a.imageshack.us/img259/6992/northwoodsgreenenglishj.jpg)

......outside of those few little minor spots the F&F is flawless. The mirror polish on the blades and bolsters/shield is about perfect, the blade grinds are clean and edges sharp and even, backsprings are GEC stout and sit flush with blades opened or closed, zero blade play on either blade, and the bone has a real nice dark, almost Forest Green, color to them that real gives off a different shade depending on the light you are under.

All and all it's a really well built piece, and it has some good heft to it. Feels real good in the hand as well. My only real complaint about this one is that it has half-stops. I've never cared for half-stops on my knives but it is something I can easily live with.

Derrick also has these in a sweet Red Smooth Bone which is next on my list!  :2tu:

Now this next one is in a pattern I really like and have grown fond of. The Gunstock as done by Queen Cutlery has grown on me quite a bit and I own several of them. They are one of the few smaller slipjoint patterns I really like, not only for the design and look but that also feel real good in the hand.

This Northwoods version is no different. It's 3 1/2" closed and done in Italian Jigged Bone. Liners and pins are brass with nickle/silver bolsters and shield, and blades made of D2 Tool Steel.

(http://a.imageshack.us/img444/2645/northwoodsitalianjigged.jpg)

(http://a.imageshack.us/img842/2645/northwoodsitalianjigged.jpg)

(http://a.imageshack.us/img831/2645/northwoodsitalianjigged.jpg)

F&F is similar to the English Jack in that it's about perfect except for a few minor faint gaps along the backspring area.....

(http://a.imageshack.us/img195/2645/northwoodsitalianjigged.jpg)

Otherwise the build is excellent with clean blade grinds and sharp edges, good stoutness to the backsprings and they sit flush with the blades opened or closed, flawless mirror polish throughtout, zero blade play on either blade, and a otherwise gap free fit.

The bone, while I am not sure what the color actually is, looks to me like a Chestnut Bone, or a Dark Amber. Real good looking stuff.

This one is going to be quite at home alongside the others of this design I have from Robeson, Schatt & Morgan, Queen, Bulldog USA, and Rigid USA.   :tu:

Hahahahahaha..........to even set that up for some pics would be an all day affair. And I don't know if I have a room in my house with a floor big enough to lay it all out.

But, I did take some pics just now of what my gunbench in my "Man Cave" looks like.......it's covered in knives that I don't have storage for at the moment. Keep in mind these all ain't slippies, I got tacticals, fixed blades, friction folders, Multi-Tools, and other bladed gadgets mixed in here on the bench. And also keep in mind this ain't even half of the collection!  :o  My gunsafe, ammo locker, all of my knife cases, and all of my Hobby Chests......as well as a couple shelves in my room and a few other places are packed full of knives.

Anyway, here's some pics...........

My Gunbench, no room to clean or work on any gun. Should just call it my Knife Bench!

I am working on getting a large three tier tool chest.....my last few attempts fell through. I need a big one of good quality, and locking. But trying to save some coin doing it. I'm hoping to have one by years end. Once I get my collection organized and stored I might then try to get a whole group collection of pics taken.

Here is a new Muskrat pattern folder made by Bulldog out of Solingen Germany that I recently acquired on ebay. This piece comes with genuine thick slab stag handles and two clip blades made from ATS-34 Solingen steel. It's also 5" overall length which shadows my Case knives Moose pattern folder which is 4 1/4" overall..

Cheers,
Serge

sergemaster,

Don't mean to burst your bubble bud, but that Muskrat is not a Bulldog and it is not made of ATS-34 Solingen Steel.

Just so you know there is no such thing as ATS-34 Solingen Steel.....there is a ATS-34, but it is a Japanese Stainless Steel made by Hitachi. The Muskrat you have pictured is a German Bull. The brand is owned by Frost Cutlery and is produced by the same people over in Solingen Germany that make the Hen & Roosters. German made Bulldog Brand Knives are made by Friedrich Olbertz. These are two different brands manufactured by two different companies.....but they are both located in Solingen, Germany.

The stainless used in the German Bulls is 440A.

2xtap,
You know what, that was all my goof.. :oops:

This Muskrat is made by German Bull NOT Bulldog, and you're also right, the blades are 440 not ATS-34, I must have confused it with a different model, or most likely my memory cells regarding this particular piece may have been running on regular and not synthetic! :think:

Serge

sergemaster,

I understand bud, happens to me as well from time to time. Just wanted to make sure you knew what it was you actually had if you didn't.

nuphoria,

Thanks.....though I have to say it's due for a major overhaul and some massive organization. If you think my Gun Bench looks cluttered you should see the rest of it. It's a mess. I'm in serious need of proper storage.

And them 123A cells, don't you worry, they are dead as a door nail. I don't throw them in the household trash (or, at least I try not to) so dead ones sit there until I can get them properly disposed of. And due to me being absent minded from time to time I put them in the ashtray so they don't get accidentally mixed up with good cells. If they are there they are dead.

 2xTap,

 Thank you for taking the time to post pics of your slip joints. I collect fixed blades and as of recently have been collecting slips. Trappers are a weakness of mine and that Bear and Son Green Jigged Bone is beautiful! And the price... :tu:

 Stockmans are also on my list of wants.

 Like you I keep the boxes the knives come in and when I sell a knife to someone, they seem surprised it comes with the original box and paperwork.

This puppy arrived yesterday from my bud Mike over at CollectorKnives.net (http://www.collectorknives.net/index.html) and it is a impressive knife.

GEC Northfield "Yellow Rose" Cattle Rancher.....

(http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/3394/gecyellowroserancher01.jpg)

(http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/5334/gecyellowroserancher02.jpg)

(http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9393/gecyellowroserancher04.jpg)

The Cattle Rancher is a new Stockman pattern from Great Eastern Cutlery. Their previous pattern was the Cuban Stockman. And like the Cuban before it the Cattle Rancher sits in at 4 1/8" closed. Unlike the Cuban before it this Cattle Rancher has noticably broader blades and that big Clip as opposed to the slimmer California Clip style on the Cuban........

TOP: Cattle Rancher / BOTTOM: Cuban:

(http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/4741/gecyellowroserancher05.jpg)

(http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/3466/gecyellowroserancher06.jpg)

The grooved bolsters and the "Rose" shield are nickle/silver, liners and pins are brass, and the brushed finished and swedged blades are 1095 Carbon Steel. Bone on this is the typical Yellow Bone found on the "Yellow Rose" series but this one and it's brother the Cattle Baron are the first in the series to have jigging. And personally I prefer the smooth Yellow Bone they have used before. For a user the jigging makes sense as it gives better purchase in the hand, but from a strictly asthetics stand point the smooth Yellow Bone looks alot better.

F&F is excellent, can't find a fault. Blades have perfect grinds and the edges are ground even and are user sharp, blades are sans any form of play, backsprings are stout (noticably so on the mainblade) and the springs remain flush with blades opened or closed, brushed and polished finished areas are flawless, and there isn't a single gap to be found anywhere on this piece.....

(http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/3183/gecyellowroserancher03.jpg)

In the F&F department you can't make them much better than this. This is the Stockman the Cuban should have been. And while the Cuban is an excellent slippie the blades on the Cattle Rancher are much better.....at least for me as I prefer the broader blade designs and the long master pull.

The only thing that could really make this pattern truely excel is if they make them in 440-C. I truely hope they follow what they did with the Cuban and come out with some GEC brand versions in stainless. If so this could be the one pattern that might supplant Case's Gunboat Canoe as my all time favorite pattern.

Awesome rancher 2xTap!

I recently ran across a little cattle knife that caught my eye at a dealer website. It was a Shapleigh brand three blade equal end cattle knife in green bone. It is about 3 3/8" long closed with a main spear point blade, sheepsfoot with long pull and a little pen blade. It looked fairly well made so I bought it for about the price of a new Case knife to give it a try. It was the only one in bone they had (I think there was another in some sort of horn).

The knife was said to have been assembled in the Friedrich Olbertz factory in Solingen, Germany in the 1990s or thereabout. I believe this is one of those Parker knifes that were "supposedly" put together from some old "discovered" parts from the closed Krusius Bros. knife factory. Who knows.

Anyways, I bought it because I liked it and it had carbon blades. That's all. This is also my first German made knife. I'll have to say it is very well made. No gaps between the brass liners and springs. No blade wobble at all with good walk and talk. It has nickel silver pins and the the same shield on both sides that appears to be pinned. A first look it reminds me of some of the Schatt & Morgan knives I have picked up in the past. The bone jigging and color is done very well. All three blades sit well and there is no blade rub either. Fit and finish is really high with just a couple exceptions I will mention next.

It did have a couple of minor QC issues. One pin is a bit proud but not sharp or uncomfortable and the swedge on the sheepsfoot was ground a bit rough. I was thinking of mailing it off to someone to fix these couple of things but I may try sanding the swedge myself since this will be a user. The main blade has an etch that says Shapleigh on it that I will remove so when the blade patinas you don't see it anymore. I think it would have been more attractive without the etch.

All in all, I am very pleased with this little cattle knife. I am wondering if any other folks have any of these Shapleigh reproduction knives since I really have not noticed them before. I am sure someone here does have one or more.

TFF,

That is a sweet Shapleigh bud. Got any pics of it with the blades fanned open?

A few years ago these were popping up quite a bit on Ebay, I had run the auctions on three different ones of the same pattern you have......all in Buffalo Horn. I lost on all three and never tried for any more. Still ain't got a single Shapleigh in the collection yet.

 I saw the Schrade at a flea market for $50 and passed on it. I saw it again in a Smokey Mountain Knife Works catalog, for much less money, so I grabbed it.

  I was going to post "Those aren't slip joints...here's a slip joint ----->" but that sounded, what's the word, cheeky?   :D

 The blades are sharp and it is the real deal. Strong back spring and I've ripped a finger nail off trying to open the main blade.  :oops:

Hello texasflyfisher,

 Thanks, I picked it up at a garage sale for $5. I've read that the jigged bone handle variety are hard to come by. I guess Kutmaster isn't collected as much as other brands.

I don't really have a liking for the Eisenhowers, despite being able to get them (and other current-model Case knives) at just above wholesale prices (I know a guy :D).  Honestly, the only reason why I have those pen knives is because I traded off four Gerber knives and was trying to select some neat items.  I don't even know what those knives are worth, nor have I done research on them.

Oh, and that picture only shows the ones I got this past weekend; I have other, much nicer, slipjoints, too. ^^;

Nice ones bud, you just don't see too many Western slippies around on the various boards. Even of all the older brands Westerns just don't pop up much.

Westerns history is kind of up and down with ownership changing a couple times toward its end. Some models I have show some problems being fitted together properly while others looks as good as any other.


Western also was more of a fixed blade knife manufacturer and they also made axes. Most folks who collect Western usually aim at the fixed blades or some of the modern lock blades.

Post by: 2xTap on October 03, 2010, 02:30:42 AM
Yeah, I know they had been owned by Coleman for a time, and in the 90's they were bought by Camillus and Camillus produced the brand up until 2007 when it closed it doors. I ain't got any of their slippies but I do have a old Western fixed blade with ALOT of miles on it.......it's in real rough shape and the sheath is beat to hell but it's still a solid piece. Not sure how old it is as it belonged to my wife's father and I came to inherit it and others when he passed.

I think that's the only Western I have in my collection.  ???

I own a couple of old pre-1950's Western made knives with the "Westaco" brand name in celluloid cracked ice scales. They are real neat. At the time I got my first "Westaco" knife I was a little puzzled by the tang stamp. At first I read it as "West Taco". I kept thinking who would brand themselves that way. After the research led me to it being a Western brands tang stamp from before the 1950's I understood. I have a 3 blade Punch/Stockman and a 2 blade jack. One has squared bolsters and the other rounded. Both are used but still look pretty good and the blades still have most of the steel. Ineed to take some photos of them.

I will try but my photo taking ability is not all that great and the tang stamps are faint. Actually every "Westaco" tang stamp I have seen is on the faint side so maybe it is something that is common to the "Westaco" line. The tang stamp is similar to the "Western States" tang stamps for older Western brand knives with the main top line being curved above the bottom line.


Will try later today.

Alrighty, here's my lastest arrival of Slipjoint Goodness............

(http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/6113/casebros2005encyclopedi.jpg)

This one is a Case #75 pattern Large Stockman from their 2005 Family Brands Encyclopedia Case Brothers set. These are like Mint Sets and come in a complete package that is stored in a box that looks like a large Encyclopedia and usually made up of several patterns in various handle materials, fully engraved.....and they are done in "volumes". Not often are these sets broken up and sold individually as they usually bring in much more money when sold complete. Luckily there are a few dealers that sometimes break up these sets and sell them.

Here's some better pics.......

(http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/6113/casebros2005encyclopedi.jpg)

(http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/6113/casebros2005encyclopedi.jpg)

The pattern is 4 1/4" closed. It has Tru-Sharp Stainless mirror polished blades, brass liners and pins, fully engraved XX nickle/silver bolsters, and a Case Bros. nickle/silver Badge Shield. the scales are Russell Jigged Honey Brown Bone.......

(http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/6113/casebros2005encyclopedi.jpg)

This particular Stockman is a Case Brothers piece and is marked as such........

(http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/6113/casebros2005encyclopedi.jpg)

Only 350 were made and mine is marked #135. Fit and finish of this knife is excellent with nary a gap to be found anywhere, zero blade play throughout, near flawless mirror polish, clean and sharp edge grinds, good backspring stoutness, etc., etc........

(http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/4849/casebros2005encyclopedid.jpg)

One thing I didn't notice originally was a typo in the CoA. The CoA lists all the knives in this particular volume of Encyclopedia, but they list the only Stockman in the set as a #6347.....when in fact it's a #6375! Here's a pic of the complete set in their padded slots in this "volume".......

(http://i.ebayimg.com/11/!B)wlEEgCWk~$(KGrHqR,!j!Ew5Sp6dnhBMO3SkL8sg~~_3.JPG)

........no #47 to be found. My knife did come with the original Certificate of Authenticity. Typos such as this are not that common in Case sets.

Anyway, for a pattern collector like me getting a rare one-off from a set such as this is cool as I can add to my collection a piece I usually would not be able to get unless I bought the whole set. And a whole "volume" can be very pricey.....the complete volume this one comes from runs about $1000 or so: http://www.caseknifeoutlet.com/knifedetail.cfm?id=1395 (http://www.caseknifeoutlet.com/knifedetail.cfm?id=1395)

That comes to $125.00 a pattern. Got mine for only $77.00 so I am a happy camper!  :D

I hope y'all like it.

Nice score! Those old Schrades are fine knives! The peachseed jigged bone is sweet!

This one is more of a serpentine jack (like the one I posted) but probably peanut sized. So, is this a 1950s vintage model?

this arrived today, handmade Solingen Slipjoint, I think the 'Superstahl' on the blade is cute (Super is one of the German's favourite words), I like it, I was resolved to carry it, just right for EDC - functionally like a SAK waiter, but a different aesthetic. Now maybe its too pretty. Photos don't do it justice, some natural light would be good. The snakewood fits well with the curvy handles. (the corkscrew fits snugly in the space, though it looks like it sticks out in the photo).

Thanks!  What really sold me on the knife is the way you can get some purchase on the knife with one blade open, like shown in the video. I also like the fact that it used old barn wood from the 1920's. Being American made was just a bonus. :)

GG,

It's actually par for the course with the Canoe pattern. Standard Canoes are the same way. The pattern is naturally ergonomic. It's one of the reasons the larger Gunboat Canoe is my mainstay EDC......they just fit right and feel right in the hand.

And not only that, the Canoe pattern in all it's forms is very pocketable, particularly the standard size Canoes. They just disappear in a pocket. Not alot of makers offer a Cannitler, CSC is one of the few that do though. Of all the Canoe pattern slippies I own only one is a Cannitler.......

This past Christmas was the first in a long time I didn't get any knives. I even gifted to myself a new watch. But as my B-day is around the corner I figured some new slippies were in order. And SMKW's was having a 20% off their entire site sale going on and had lowered some of the prices on some Queen built stuff so it was perfect timing.

So I snagged me a Queen built Colonel Coon that I had been wanting, as well as two new Queen City offerings......with the sale and 20% off all three together costed a mere $80.00!  :tu:

.......these are done in polished smooth Autumn Gold Bone. The Gunstock, like the Cattle King, is also bladed in mirror polished 420HC with brass liners and pins, and nickle/silver bolsters and shield.

(http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/1563/colonelcoonagsbgunstock.jpg)

Fit and finish is perfect. Backsprings are stout, zero blade play throughout, backsprings rest flush with blades opened or closed, and not a gap anywhere. Blade grinds are even with sharp edges and the polishing on the entire knife is without fault.

A great addition to my ever growing Gunstock collection.  :D

Next up is the two Queen City pieces. These are from a new line done in less expensive finishes and handle materials to reduce cost. You can equate them to Case's Workman Series.

The first is another #40 pattern Gunstock at 3 5/8" closed.....

(http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/8426/queencityyellowdelringu.jpg)

Second is a #41 pattern two-blade Copperhead at 3 3/4" closed.....

(http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/491/queencitywhitedelrincop.jpg)

(http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/491/queencitywhitedelrincop.jpg)

Both knives feature brush finished 1095 carbon steel blades, brass liners and pins, and polished nickle/silver bolsters. Neither of them has a shield.

(http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/8426/queencityyellowdelringu.jpg)

(http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/491/queencitywhitedelrincop.jpg)

Both knives are American made by Queen Cutlery, and as previuosly mentioned are of the Queen City series. And are marked as such.....

(http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/8426/queencityyellowdelringu.jpg)

(http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/491/queencitywhitedelrincop.jpg)

Both knives sport delrin scales, the Gunstock with jigged Yellow Delrin and the Copperhead with polished smooth White Delrin. Blades on both have clean even blade grinds with sharp edges, backsprings that rest flush with blades opened or closed, zero blade play throughout both of them, and both have a nice clean finish to them.

But they do have some minor faults. The Gunstock has stout backsprings but came with a few hairline gaps in the backspring area. And the center pin holes in the delrin on the Gunstock are a little rough around the pin on both sides of the knife. The Copperhead also has a couple minor gaps in the backspring area, but it also has what I consider light backsprings. They aren't weak, just lighter than I prefer.

(http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/8426/queencityyellowdelringu.jpg)

(http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/491/queencitywhitedelrincop.jpg)

But the faults are minor. Overall they are well built and solid. And considering they are American made, let alone Queen built, with a price of only $24.99 regularly.....these are exceptional buys. These would make superb EDC slippies, especially for those who prefer carbon steel in their pocketknives.

Won these on auction as a complete lot, all #94 pattern Gunboat Canoes from Case's "Vintage Pattern Series".

Blue Lagoon Bone:

Fit and finish of all three is excellent with zero gaps anywhere, heavy but not nailbreaker backsprings, virtually flawless mirror polish throughout, clean and even edge grinds, and all blades are sans any lateral play..........

(http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/2581/casegunboattrio05.jpg)

All and all what I have come to expect from Case, and particularly with this pattern. And while my favorite slipjoint pattern it is one that is not the largest group in my collection as these tend to be pricey. At around $80-$100 a pop usually I only pick these up occassionally. Funny too considering all three of these came with the MSRP and retail stickers still on the boxes.......

(http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/8706/casegunboattrio02.jpg)

I decided to buy a few reasonably priced but interesting looking slipjoints about a month ago, which arrived during the past week or so.

Some canoes (the buck, last one, is the most attractive of the lot, the rough rider stag does not look "right" to me).

Also some more rough riders (the large toothpick looks and feels quite good), a few wengers (were on sale in a normal shop...) including an eloxy which I was not aware of before but which is impressive in its simplicity and a couple of mini buck toothpicks.

I was surprised by the fact that I had problems with the knives of two different companies, first time I had any real problem with any of their products.

The Rough Rider 6 blade stockman came with pathetically weak springs on the two larger blades (they work slightly better now after extensive cleaning) and a crack on the bone scales.
I noticed only the weak springs when I first got it and decided to keep it, even though the seller offered to take it back and then I saw the crack, but did not bother contacting the seller again. Based on what I read about this model on the internet I must have got the only problematic one.
  ???
The yellow buck mini toothpick came with both scales practically unstuck and discoloured and with oxidation inside. It seems like it was kept near some oxidising chemicals, maybe in a very hot and humid environment. I got a refund so I can’t really complain, I was just surprised that this was actually sold as new and theoretically checked before shipping.

Nice grabs bud. Sorry to hear you got a few lemons in that bunch though. That Stag Buck Canoe is sweet. The Stag looks that way because it's torched. Bear and Sons has done quite a few runs in torched India Stag and I've seen some of theirs look just like the Stag on that Buck.

Post by: texasflyfisher on February 16, 2011, 07:16:53 PM
The Buck Canoe looks great. Does it have a spring for each blade or do they share a single spring? I like the kind that share one spring as they tend to be slightly slimmer.  :tu:
Title: Re: Show your slip joint's thread!
Post by: dks on February 18, 2011, 05:19:19 PM
Each blade has its own spring. They are about 12mm thick
These were bought unseen, so the stag "look" varies from one to the other, as shown in the pictures.
Quality is similar for all, that is, quite good, though the spring tension differs slightly between them, but it’s still OK.
The bone ones are thinner by about 4mm.
I have not really used any of them for anything but they feel solid.

Nice pics bud. The Stag on all of those looks great, as does the F&F. I only have one of the imported Bucks, a 301. It's ok but I was disappointed in it as I have seen many others just perfect in F&F.

Might have to get me one of these Stag Canoes though.

Title: Re: Show your slip joint's thread!
Post by: dks on February 19, 2011, 10:31:30 AM
Many thanks, the quality of them is, generally, very good. There are no rough edges, the gaps are quite small and they come sharp and with no mystery oil/dirt in their joints.
From my (note: MY  ;) ) experience (owning and handling, not so much from actually using hard), comparing slipjoints of this category (inexpensive, usually not made in the west) they seem/feel to be a “click” better than Rough Rider, similar to Boker Plus, better than Steel Warrior (though I only have 1-2 of the last two brands…) and a lot better, especially in QC, than the new schrades. Though not a statistically significant observation they appear to be at least as good as a, similarly priced, German Bull I have and have smoother action than my SRM slipjoint.
(The first rough rider is not a slipjoint, I just thought those two looked nice together)

Funny you should mention Rough Rider as I am told that the factory over in China that produces the Rough Rider line of slipjoints (as well as many others) are the same people building the imported Buck slipjoint line.

And speaking of Stag, just had a new one myself come in a couple days ago...........

(http://img816.imageshack.us/img816/8126/gecstagmuskrat02.jpg)

2008 production GEC Stag Muskrat. I have to honestly say I am not a fan of the Muskrat pattern. Of the hundreds of slipjoints I own, out of those I think I have but one or two Muskrat patterns. It's not that I dislike the pattern it's just that they never really appealed to me most often. And I have to admit this one from GEC surprised me a bit because I like it alot more than I thought I would. After getting it in hand and getting the blades open and toying with it, at least this variation, I can appreciate the appeal the Muskrat pattern has on some people.

It is a nice pattern. But for me initially, getting this one had more to do with it being in Stag and bladed in 440-C, and at a great price! And the Stag is quite nice..........

(http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/4515/gecstagmuskrat04.jpg)

The knife is 4 1/8" closed with nickle/silver bolsters and shield, brass liners and pins, and polished 440-C stainless blades. This knife came from a pre-owned but unused collection.  Fit and finish is near perfect, although this one came with a small cosmetic flaw on one of the bolsters but nothing major. F&F is typical GEC with nary a gap anywhere, stout backsprings, zero blade play throughout, etc. But also typical for GEC's of this time is the fact that the edges need a little work as they didn't come real sharp. But I ain't complaining as it's overall F&F is still excellent.........

(http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/3525/gecstagmuskrat03.jpg)

This one has me actually looking at other iterations of this pattern that are still available.  :tu:

Post by: dks on February 19, 2011, 07:06:56 PM
That is some nice stag;  :tu: I especially like the one on the side with the shield, really good, deep pattern. 
I doubt you could get anything close to that for Buck canoe money, at least not from ebay. 
Mind you I have enough problems deciding to use the Buck stag ones, in case they break or get lost, that’s why I got a few for backups......  :D

As for RR and Buck being made in the same factory, it is a possibility, first time I saw one of each together I thought of that since they are similar in shape and size, especially when closed (they have to, they are both canoes), but the grinds and blade thickness are different, stag used also differs (though, stag canoes seem to cost about the same from both), and the decoration on the bolsters is different…  These of course can easily be made to the specific order.
Fit and finish is, however close… I have no idea which factory makes them, but it must be a good one…  Someone said that most, decent quality, Chinese knives are made in the same region. It would be funny if SRM made those too…
Title: Re: Show your slip joint's thread!
Post by: 2xTap on February 19, 2011, 07:58:28 PM
dks,

Yeah, GEC uses some nice Stag. And they bookend it pretty well. And nope, you won't find any of this even close for Buck Canoe money. Even on factory "seconds" they go for alot more than any of the imported stuff.

As to the makers of Rough Rider and the imported Bucks, I should of clarified........they actually are the makers of the Imported Buck line. The Rough Rider line is owned by SMKW's (jointly with Blue Ridge Knives). SMKW's has also had a longstanding relationship with the Buck family. According to Steve Koontz over at SMKW's Buck had a hand in setting up the factory that is churning out their imported line and with the quality they are producing there, and their connections, SMKW's went with them to produce their Rough Rider line. This factory also produces the new line of Colt slipjoints as well as the new imported offerings for Remington, and the newer Marble's line of slipjoints.

I've posted same thing on another thread, so I'll repost it here...

I do like Sunfish / Elephant Toe type of knives, but due to their price I didn't thaught of getting one (I'm a user not collector)... Then I've discovered few manufacturers like Rough Rider, Marble, Hammer Brand which are afordable for me. Seems that they have overall thumbs up for EDC quality.

Any thaughts and experiences?
Title: Re: Show your slip joint's thread!
Post by: 2xTap on February 19, 2011, 08:29:53 PM
For a imported Sunfish/Elephant Toe I would recommend Rough Rider. I own many a RR and the overall quality of them is way above their price. That said I don't own any of these particular patterns from Rough Rider so I can't comment on them specifically.

As far as the new Hammer Brand line, these are being made by Taylor Cutlery and I've heard both good and bad and not alot in either direction so I can't say if they would be a good choice currently.

As for the imported Marble's line, I have a few in various patterns. While pretty good quality for the money they ain't quite as good as the Rough Riders in their overall fit. They don't seem to be as consistant in F&F as the Rough Riders, but still a good buy when had in the RR price range.

The newer Colt slippies are more expensive than the Rough Rider line, but if the few I have are any example they are well worth it. I got these a while back from the Colt Brown Stag Bone line and they are flawless in build............

(http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/3081/coltgunstocks05.jpg)

The fit and finish on these two is every bit as good as the best American made slipjoints in my collection.

Now this one below is another Colt, this one from the Samuel Colt Signature Series in Black Stag Bone........

(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/6631/coltblackstagcopperheade.jpg)

Fit and finish on this is good, on par with your average Rough Rider. It has some blemishes but decent none the less. But not on par with the previous two.

Got a couple more the other day to add to the collection. These two being #75 Large Stockman's from Case.

This first one is of very recent production and part of Case's Walnut Bone Silverscript Series......

(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/2551/casewalnutlargestockman.jpg)

(http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/2551/casewalnutlargestockman.jpg)

It's a #75 pattern Large Stockman at 4 1/4" closed and is of 2011 production. It sports polished Tru-Sharp Stainless blades, brass liners and pins, nickle/silver bolsters and Silverscript shield. Scales are Walnut Jigged Bone.....

(http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/2551/casewalnutlargestockman.jpg)

The knife is virtually flawless sans one small area. Along the backspring area there is a gap about a inch and half long running between the main blade's backspring and spacer....

(http://img813.imageshack.us/img813/2551/casewalnutlargestockman.jpg)

It affects nothing but is noticeable. Aside from that the blades have zero play, no other gaps anywhere, blade edges are clean and sharp, and backsprings have a good stoutness to them.

Now this next one is a #75 pattern Large Stockman as well, but of much older stock.......

(http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/3197/casemilleniumlargestock.jpg)

(http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/3197/casemilleniumlargestock.jpg)

This one is of 2000 production and was part of Case's "Millenium" series. It is a serialized piece and has Case's unique CASE MM shield and tang stamp.......

(http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/3197/casemilleniumlargestock.jpg)

(http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/3197/casemilleniumlargestock.jpg)

It is 4 1/4" closed with polished Tru-Sharp stainless blades, brass liners and pins, nickle/silver bolsters and shield, and the scales are done in Jigged Old Red Bone. This is a unused mint piece but came from a collection without any box or paperwork.

The fit and finish is excellent with good stout backsprings, zero blade play throughout, clean even edges that are quite sharp, and a virtually gap free fit. Although there are some very short, tiny gaps between backsprings at both ends of the knife.......

(http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/3197/casemilleniumlargestock.jpg)

Barely noticeable and don't affect anything. Otherwise a nice and very clean knife that's over a decade old.

I bought a #40 ACSB Gunstock and a #51 BEM Dogleg Jack.

The pictures you've posted of your #40's had me  :drool:  In the meantime I saw the #51 for a good price, and I like the clip/pen combo, so I picked that up too.  ::)  I started out trying to be a good boy and just buy a Queen City #40 delrin/1095 and black wood/1095 copperhead, as these will be users.  However, I waited too long and can't find them in stock anywhere now.

What I meant above was that these will be the first traditional slipjoints of any make that I've ever bought.  I've had a few handed down to me in the past, but I've always carried SAKs.  Now that I tend to carry a plier MT most of the time and use a knife mostly just for cutting duties, I'm thinking I'd like a little US-made craftsmanship in my pocket.  I'm pretty excited about getting these, but I hope it doesn't turn into a habit.  ;)  Looking back through all of the pics in this thread, I've already formed a preference for Queen, and I like the company's history.

NutSAK,

The first traditional slippies you ever bought!  :o

Man, have you been missing out. Well I hope when your Queens arrive you become a fan of them. There is just something about these classic styles and design that can really get you and pull you in. And if nothing else I'm pretty sure the ACSB on that Gunstock just might do it by itself.

And if you like Dogleg Jacks you should see some of the new ones coming from Great Eastern, these are really sweet.......

They are also making them in a barehead version with a Spear Point master......

They are also making a slightly larger version in their Dogleg Trapper Jack.........

For the money it's hard to beat a Rough Rider. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on that Whittler when you get it.  :tu:

I like the appearance of the doglegs built on the trapper frames, such as Queen does and that one above.  With the swell of the handles on the other two, I bet they would fit nicely in the hand though.  They're all very nice, but don't go talking me into GEC before I get my Queens!

These arrived last week.
The main reason I got them was that I did not have them, or anything similar.

The Rough Rider, apart from the expected embarrassing shape (I wonder if anybody actually uses these type of knives regularly..) was fine; smooth and sharp. I suspect the shoe part could be used as a bottle opener, but I have not tried it yet.

The EKA sweede 8,  handle appeared to be made from the same plastic they used to make telephone handles in the eighties and came with an off-centred blade and loads of side to side play.
The play was corrected very easily, and it was a breath of fresh air to see a company use “normal head” screws for adjusting the blade (ok, Svord does it too). It makes you wonder why most companies make the adjusting and taking apart of their knives so complicated.
The blade itself was fine, made with Sandvic stainless steel and did not have any problems.

NutSAK,

Yeah, I got it from Collectorknives.net........I've bought alot of knives from him over the years. Most of my GEC collection has come from him, as well as alot of Queens and S&M's, some Case, Henckels, and a slew of others. He's one of my preferred dealers. Plus, his shipping is fast and he's a great guy too.

Nuphoria,

I tell this to everyone......if you don't own a GEC yet, you need to get one. They build the finest quality production slipjoints out there. Not to take anything away from Queen or Case, or some others, but there is a bit more to the GEC's. If you are eyeing one, get it! Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Although I will say many of their patterns aren't for the "weak nailed".......GEC puts some heavy backsprings into alot of their patterns.

dks,

Can't say as I know anyone who uses a Lady Leg regularly. Don't know many people who own them. I know there is a collector market for them and over the years there have been many makers who have made the pattern in one form or another. The pattern has been around for a while.

I bought my first Case today--a 1970 Redbone Barlow.  The scales are a little beat up, but I think she's got some good character and the blades are in great shape w/very little discoloration.  I probably paid a little more than I should have, but it called to me.  I think I'm developing a nasty habit!  :ahhh

These are the seller's pics, I'll take some better ones when it arrives:

Post by: AimlessWanderer on March 01, 2011, 12:58:14 AM
I suppose it's about time I showed a few of mine.

You'll have to forgive the horrendous pics - I hope to take some better ones at a later date when I can get some playtime during daylight hours. As a Sheffield lad, I'll start with the slippies made in my home town. Here are a few single blade pocket knives, spring knives, or slipjoints depending on who you talk to

(http://i748.photobucket.com/albums/xx122/50ft-trad/P1000634.jpg)

There's a couple of Wostenholm clips (in buffalo & rosewood), an A.Wright buffalo file backed senator, a replica of a Victorian puzzle knife, and the final one is a carbon steel lambsfoot with synthetic scales made by the resident Little Mester at an industrial museum in Sheffield. It's the first knife I got (other than my grandfathers penknife which is long since lost) - it was actually given to me about 20 years ago by a friend who used to work in the trade.

(http://i748.photobucket.com/albums/xx122/50ft-trad/P1000635.jpg)

Here we've got a Joseph Rodgers penknife, a Millenium Edition Joseph Rodgers knife with slipjoint blade and lockback driver/opener, a keyring knife (the reverse is shown - the face is engraved with the name of an old Sheffield firm I used to work for), and a pearlite NIB penknife made by John Watts thought that firm went bust back in the sixties. Heres some of the spine detail on a few of them

(http://i748.photobucket.com/albums/xx122/50ft-trad/P1000638.jpg)

Next up we have a British Army Knife (maker unknown), and a George Ibberson Hiker model.

(http://i748.photobucket.com/albums/xx122/50ft-trad/P1000642.jpg)

These Sheffield knives will probably be valued higher by me than others due to pride in the local heritage - but I'm far from exclusive in what knives I buy. The collection started off with cheapo's off ebay really - mainly far eastern cheapo knives whether made under recognised names or unknown makers. Some look quite nice - and have actually seen a lot of pocket time. These slippies have served me well despite their origins/cost.

(http://i748.photobucket.com/albums/xx122/50ft-trad/P1000640.jpg)

Others are really quite ugly wouldn't take an edge if you tried to glue one on

(http://i748.photobucket.com/albums/xx122/50ft-trad/P1000641.jpg)

I have a few knives from the other side of the pond too ...

(http://i748.photobucket.com/albums/xx122/50ft-trad/P1000643.jpg)

Here are a couple of Case Barlows - not everyone is a fan of the half-stops on these knives, but I like them. There's also a Case Seahorse Whittler, a Queen D2 Green Winterbone Muskrat ... and yes, the Remington delrin Stockman is US made too

(http://i748.photobucket.com/albums/xx122/50ft-trad/P1000646.jpg)

Another Case here - the Scout with pliers. This is quite a heavy knife, deceptively so considering it's humble size. I bought this any of my official SAK's, same with my Laguiole L'eclair SAKalike

(http://i748.photobucket.com/albums/xx122/50ft-trad/P1000644.jpg)

It's quite odd really how when discussing multitools I'll often include SAK's ... but consider these two (and some of the others above) to be knives rather than MT's. SAK's and other knives with multiple capabilities tend to fall into an area between knives and MT's for me ... but again that's an old Sheffield thing. We were making the things centuries ago, and calling them utility knives, or gentlemans knives. For those who doubt that Sheffield was doing this so long ago - the best example is a knife which sadly I do not own ... hopefully you'll be able to make out the accompanying text.

(http://i748.photobucket.com/albums/xx122/50ft-trad/CenturyKnife.jpg)

Makes the Wenger Giant seem somewhat amateur doesn't it  :P

I've always been a fan of the slippie, and also like lockers which look like slippies too. A couple of examples here

(http://i748.photobucket.com/albums/xx122/50ft-trad/P1000649.jpg)

Whilst we all know the Opinels (No 6 and above) aren't slippies .. I still think they look like they should be. The Kershaws Double Cross  certainly does. The Tree Brand Boker Congress is a slippie .. don't worry I'm not trying to catch anyone out. Also shown (disassembled) is my favourite steel for touching up my pocket knives. I've never really been a lock knife fan - but I do have a few

(http://i748.photobucket.com/albums/xx122/50ft-trad/P1000645.jpg)

These were bought more for novelty than anything else. I seem to be allergic to lock knives though, I've cut myself with lock knives far more than with slippies ... and usually when releasing the liner locks. This next one is the first knife I ever bought

(http://i748.photobucket.com/albums/xx122/50ft-trad/P1000648.jpg)

A no-name Chinese combo edged cheapo ... eveything many of us hate in a blade - but it served me well for about 3 years before I started to diversify

Many of the blades shown above were bought for novelty factor - but ended up seeing a fair bit of use .. and these next two are no exception

(http://i748.photobucket.com/albums/xx122/50ft-trad/P1000656.jpg)(http://i748.photobucket.com/albums/xx122/50ft-trad/P1000655.jpg)

So a few nice ones and a lot of cheap stuff which actually turned out just fine as a daily slippie for occasional use - but not carried as often now. I'm going through a prolongued phase of carrying Swiss made utility and gentlemans knives  :D

(http://i748.photobucket.com/albums/xx122/50ft-trad/P1000650.jpg)

It just wouldn't be right showing slippies without letting SAK's poke their head up. They just fit in every category yet live in a whole different category of their own. I also like fixed blades too though ...

(http://i748.photobucket.com/albums/xx122/50ft-trad/P1000652.jpg)

If there's any that anyone would like better pics of, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for looking  :tu:

Nice choice bud. I own a ton of these, started getting into them when they were first released years ago. For what you get they are a bargain. Heat treat on them is good too. And you can get a ton of them for next to nothing and get an idea of what fits you before you go and spend bigger money on a higher end piece.

Just got this one in yesterday..............

(http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/4360/queencurlyzebragunstock.jpg)

(http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/4360/queencurlyzebragunstock.jpg)

It's a Queen #40 pattern Gunstock from their latest Series. The closed length is 3.5" with blades of brushed D2 Tool Steel, brass liners and pins, and nickle/silver bolsters and shield. The scales are made of Curly Zebra Wood.

(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/4360/queencurlyzebragunstock.jpg)

Fit and finish is excellent all around, although originally after handling this I noticed no real issue with the knife but on looking at my pics before I resized them I was able to notice a very fine hairline gap between the secondary blade's backspring and the brass spacer. Can't really see it in person unless you look real close but the pics make it show up a little better.......

(http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/4360/queencurlyzebragunstock.jpg)

A very minor thing. Outside of that it's solid and clean. I do have to admit though I was hoping to get one with handle cuts that had a more angular grain as opposed to the more straight horizontal grain this one has in the wood. Still, pretty good looking wood.  :tu:

Title: Re: Show your slip joint's thread!
Post by: NutSAK on March 04, 2011, 04:22:29 AM
The stock pictures definitely have the grain at a different angle than yours.  But, it is nice that both sides are well matched, and unique!  That's Queen's attention to detail, IMO.  Gauging from the pictures, I don't think the backspring gaps even have to be mentioned.

Nice knife!  I really prefer the D2 in this brushed finish, like my "trapper" jack.  It holds up very well to use, unlike a mirror-glaze finish would.

Thanks for the review.

Thanks all.  It's a lot bigger than most of the pocket knives I tend to carry and is a nice hand filler.  It's no nail breaker but the backspring has a lovely positive engagement when opened, little to no chance of it closing up by accident IMO.  The construction is a touch rough around the edges if I'm being critical; pins needed cleaned up and there's a bit of a gap around the top of the backspring, but it's nothing I can't happily live with. :)

I picked up a fancy little number the other day, made my Shuggie on BB. He sent it in a nice scrap bit of red velvet type material, tied with a little handle made of cord. I thought this was a lovely touch and decided to make a pouch for it out of the bits. Added a bead and a bit of thin red cord and ended up with this :)

The blade still has the factory bevel (sharp), it still has the original polish on the blades, and doesn't have a single scratch from use on either blade.  The grooves in the scales are just marrow channels--there's no damage there whatsoever.  If the seller would have taken some clearer pictures of this knife, he probably could have had close to double what I paid for it.  As it is, I got a pretty good deal on a 40 year-old survivor!  :tu:  The sad part is that I bought it expecting to use it, but I probably won't now.

pics forthcoming

Well, in the seller's defense, it's not such an easy knife to photograph!  ;)  I've used two different cameras here, so you will see white balance variation from one to the other.

1970 (10 dot) Case Barlow

All-around this knife is virtually like new.  The knife as pictured is how I received it, except that I did clean up a bit of the discoloration on the blade spines and springs with a green scotchbrite pad.  There are no cracks at all in the bone scales.  The walk and talk is excellent, but there is some lateral play in the main blade.  I have to say that I'm a bit surprised by how thin the blade stock is.  I've always viewed these barlows as workhorses, but it's not as heavy duty as I imagined.

NutSAK,

Very nice bud. That Barlow is pretty clean. And they are workhorses. Been a staple for a very long time, one the most long lasting and enduring slipjoint patterns in American Cutlery. For a pocketknife it don't need heavy blade stock to do it's job for a very long time.

Despite the white balance your pics came out real good. I have similar problems taking pics of my knives, or at least use to. I try to only take pics of my stuff under natural light. No matter how many options and doo-hickeys my camera may have I just can never really get good pics under incan or florescent lighting. I gotta have daylight or they come out looking like crap.

So, what do you think of that CSC? It looks real good, and I love that bone. How's the backsprings on that? And BTW, did that one come with the dual-finished blades.....polished on the mark side and satin on the pile side?

Zed,

There have been many claims as to who created the pattern and who first produced it. Both over in England and here in the States. It is likely it was originally a Sheffield design, but no one knows for sure. The earliest mentions are of a man named Obadiah Barlow of Sheffield England having been the inventor of the Barlow Knife in late 1600's.

Very true, and with the thin stock and CV blades, it should be one heck of a slicer!  :tu:

No matter how many options and doo-hickeys my camera may have I just can never really get good pics under incan or florescent lighting. I gotta have daylight or they come out looking like crap.

Thanks.  I usually try my best to use natural light too, but I haven't been around much lately, unfortunately.  It's been cloudy and I've been working long hours.  There's really no substitute for natural light, especially if it's dispersed and not glaring, such as early or late in the day.  These shots were taken under warm CFC can lights that have a similar temperature to incan.  It would have helped to have something to soften the light a bit--I had to work really hard at getting the right angles for glare reduction.

So, what do you think of that CSC? It looks real good, and I love that bone. How's the backsprings on that? And BTW, did that one come with the dual-finished blades.....polished on the mark side and satin on the pile side?

The Canal St. Cannitler is pretty unique.  While it's a canoe pattern, there are a few things that set it apart, the most important in my opinion is the variation of blade width.  The main blade is FAT--three times thicker at the tang than the pen and sheepsfoot (coping) blade.  The main blade tang rides on both backsprings.  The thin secondary blades were important to me, as I wanted the small blades to have a bit more control and finesse.  I do wonder at this point how good of a slicer the main blade will be, but it really isn't much thicker than a Victorinox Pioneer/Soldier main blade past the tang so it should be just fine.

The fit and finish are spot on.  The dye is striking in person and carving in the bone is excellent, with smooth blends into the bolsters.  The pins and shield are well set so there are no protrusions.  The liners and backsprings are snug and well finished with just a hairline space on one of the liners.  The secondary blades are fairly "flexy" since they're thin, and that combined with the sheepsfoot having slight lateral play means there will be some rub on the main blade.  That doesn't bother me, as this will be a user and I think it's to be expected with a pattern as compact as this.  All blades had very good, even, bevel grinds out of the box, so it didn't take much time to bring them to shaving sharpness even with the D2 steel.

I did have some concern about the backspring on the main blade, as this is where the main complaint of this knife seems to be.  Rest assured, the spring is not lazy or weak.  True, it doesn't close like a bear trap, but it snaps open with authority.  To me the snap feels just like a Victorinox Farmer, and I've been living with that level of spring tension for years with no issues, so it's good enough for me.  The snap on the smaller blades is firmer on closing.

All in all I'm very pleased with it.  It offers a lot of utility and very good ergonomics in a compact frame.  :tu:  I think the only things that might improve it for me is some swell in the scales to round the grip out, and possibly a half stop on the main blade.  Oh and BTW--the paperwork says "polished mark side" but, on my knife, mark and pile sides are equally polished to a sheen similar to a SAK.  I've read that D2 can't be mirror-polished easily, and that's fine with me because I prefer a satin or brushed finish.

NutSAK,

Yeah, I have a hell of a time with glare as well. My new camera does a pretty good job of auto-correcting this but it then makes the pics come out a bit darker than they actually are. I really got to work around my camera placement to get my shots just right. And this usually entails hovering the camera almost directly over the knife........hence why my pics have alot of "reflecto" in them!

Sounds as though you have a winner in that CSC. I should be getting me one but my money just keeps going to other things. Anyway, looks like it's got the build it should have, and it is a damn good looking piece. Are you making this one a user?

I know CSC has done some runs of their slippies with blades polished all the way around but their standard set-up is the old style of polished on the mark and satin on the pile. Wasn't sure if this run was done that way or not.

Yeah, D2 Tool Steel is a weird one. I've been in many discussions over the years about this. D2 can take a mirror polish but it doesn't go full. D2 always takes on a faint orange peel affect to the surface of the steel when polished. I have a Queen-built piece or two with polished D2, and looking at your reflection in these blades there is always a real slight haze to it. On real close inspection you can see this OP affect. It's just the nature of this steel.

Glad you got a good one and are enjoying it. It's a classic pattern of true American origin.  :2tu:

You bet!  It's in my pocket at the moment and I don't see it going anywhere for a while.  You really do need one of these :pok:, and there's a nice run of 50 in smooth buffalo horn available at a good price.  PM me on that if you're interested.  Hell, if I talk you into it I'll feel like I'm just returning the favor!  ;)  :D

It's just the nature of this steel.

A light orange peel is exactly what I would call the finish on this one, both sides.  It has a more polished finish than the brushed, satin finish on my Queen trapper (dogleg) jack.

One thing I failed to mention in the comments is that, though the "Cannitler" is a whittler canoe, I wouldn't want to use this as a whittler very often.  The way the main blade protrudes from the frame when it is closed would make for an uncomfortable grip after using the small blades for a duration of time.  I bought the knife because I like pen and sheepsfoot blades as an option but I would buy a true whittler if that's what my aim was.

NutSAK,

Cool, should make for a excellent EDC piece. After a while of using it give us a update sometime on your thoughts of it as a carry piece.

In Smooth Buffalo Horn you say.....one of my favorite handle materials. I would likely be all over that except I just recently got offered first dibs on a collection that is being sold and I got a few hundred dollars worth of knives that is going to be heading my way. A Case Classic, several Robesons, and a couple Schatt & Morgans. My knife fundage is tapped for about the next month or so!  :(

These two arrived, a 6 blade Colt stockman, as suggested by 2x, with surprisingly deep stag scales, shown with its twin brother and a Chinese kissing crane “toothpick”, which looks like the product of a marriage between a peanut and a toothpick, shown with two suspiciously similar Buck toothpicks.

The  Colt stockman is quite nice and has a deep, greyish stag scales. The blades work well and there are no problems with the springs, like there were with the equivalent RR. It comes in a nice display box.

The Kissing Crane, with a main blade similar to the Bucks but with a different grind, has a good finish; not as good as the Bucks, or RR, but a lot better than some Italian made Kissing Crane sodbusters I got. The blades are sharp and well centred but there are some rough edges on the bottom side and on the bolt heads.

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised with the stag on the Colt, I expected a much flatter looking stag, for the price and was quite suspicious of buying a knife with a gun brand name.

Zed,
There have been stories of people skinning deer with a RR slipjoint so I think they can be used quite safely. I, too, tend to buy because I like, rather than need.

Well, the first one arrived today. The Case Classic, and it is sweet as hell! It's rainy here and overcast so I won't get no pics up today. But I''l have some soon.

dks,

Nice grabs bud. The new Colt slippies are real nice. Not sure if you know but that run you have of the Colt isn't real Stag. It's Black Stag Bone. They do have a line that is now discontinued that was done in real Stag, and they can still be found on Ebay at some dealers.

And nice comparison pics, thanks for sharing. The chinese built Kissing Cranes have really impressed me. I have a Humpback Jack in the same Bone that your Toothpick came in.

(http://img2.imageshack.us/img2/4520/kissingcraneredbonejack.th.jpg) (http://img2.imageshack.us/i/kissingcraneredbonejack.jpg/)

Real good knife. And speaking of KC, I just got one of their newest models, a 4-blade Scout Knife. Fit and Finish is very good on it. Hope to have pics of this soon.

Zed,

Good choice on your first Rough Rider. For inexpensive import pieces, overall, the Rough Riders are the best buy out there. I have a few of their Yellow Composition handled slippies, great knives for the money.

(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/2628/rryellowgunstock01.th.jpg) (http://img8.imageshack.us/i/rryellowgunstock01.jpg/) (http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/1294/rrlargestockmanyellow01.th.jpg) (http://img246.imageshack.us/i/rrlargestockmanyellow01.jpg/)

But the one thing about their composition handles is the color isn't always consistant throughout. You might see some slight variation in the yellow throughout the handle material. One of mine is like this. It's not splotchy but the color fades to lighter shades in some areas. And if you get to liking the RR's and plan to get some more I highly recommend looking at their Amber Jigged Bone line, the bone on these is real nice.

I didn't notice it but now that you mentioned it I went back and looked at the pic and it sure does show some different coloring in the one section, a darker splotch just right of the shield. Some do come this way, not all, but some do.

As to the new Colt line of slippies. The license is now held by Smoky Mountain Knife Works, and the manufacturers they use over in China to build their Rough Rider line are the same ones building the Colt line for them.

I noticed that on one of my RR's, the Barlow I got last week. There are a few brown, vein-like lines in some areas of one of the scales. Doesn't affect the knife one bit, and this one is a pure user, not for show. I'm loving it either way, it's been in my pocket daily. I'm thinking about one or two or five of the Amber Bone ones.....

2xtap, I assumed it was proper stag, I have also ordered one of the other, amber, stag models to see whether I like them. It should arrive soon. I am going through a “stag” phase. What is black stag bone? Stag shaped bone?

Zed, nutsak, jersey etc
The handles on the yellow Buck toothpick shown previously next to the Kissing Crane are also displaying this variation of colour mentioned with respect to the RR knives.
That knife, however, was one I had problems with (loose scales, oxidation) so I assumed that the variation of the colour was a problem, associated with the other problems I had (possible exposure to heat/sun/chemicals).
I actually had to take it apart, clean it and glue the scales back.

Talking about RR knives their new, ocean models, look quite pleasant (but case gold models look even better…)  :drool:

Their amber bone, as the one I have in a scout knife, looks really god in an old fashioned way.

dks,

Black Stag bone is nothing more than cattle bone with a jig pattern made to resemble the exterior of real Stag, and they use a black dye to bring out the jig.

And that Buck toothpick you mention as having the same color variation in it's yellow comp is likely because that particular yellow comp comes from the same source. The imported Buck slippies are made by the same people who build Rough Riders as well.

From my understanding Buck had a hand in getting the factory over in China that builds these up and going to produce their imported line to a particular standard. SMKW's with their longstanding association with Buck worked in with this factory to produce their Rough Rider line as well as their new licensed Colt stuff. This same factory also has produced some of the imported Remington knives as well as the Marble's Global Series.

2x, at least its not plastic, made to look like stag. I noticed that if you rub it with tissue the dye comes, easily, off.
For the price I can´t really complain, it was about the same as the RR stockman.

I find it funny that even though the Buck and RR knives come from the same factory, the Buck knives do not have that "mystery" grease/graphite/metal remains in their pivots, that I allways clean after I buy an RR knife.

Zed, really nice, RR seems to make these Sowbellies really well  :tu: . I have one and it looks and feels way more expensive than it is. I am scared to use it, in case it gets scratched.

I, too, got some slipjoints I was interested in today.

An RR, naturally, Elephant toenail. This was a pattern I did not have and it looks huge. It needs some cleaning at the joints, but otherwise it’s fine. I see it more as a novelty knife; a canoe should do everything this does, in a more elegant package.

I also got a Colt peanut stag knife, that I was convinced (easily  :salute: ) that I needed. The stag (assuming its not fancy cow bone) is deeply carved and caramel coloured and the knife feels well made. It was the cheapest caramel stag Colt model I could find, to see what they were like. It came in a fancy box,
It seems a bit large for a peanut.
The strange thing about it are the nail nicks on the blades. They are different on each blade (one is a long linear one, the other is crescent shaped) and because they are both on the same side the nail nick on the long blade is hidden behind the small blade, making it really awkward to open. I almost get the impression that they run out of blades and used the ones from a different model.
The bottom part of its frame is, reasonably, aligned with the stag scales and the blades are well centred.
It’s hard not to start getting a bit stricter with its overall quality since this series is beginning to approach, lower end, Case money.

The steel, I find on mine to be hard to put a good edge on, corrosion on one of the blades
was a real disappointment, whatever ended up on it, a small spot of something ate
through the mirror finish.
Wobble on the main blade, I guess I just got some poor samples/examples as I'm not
going to go against what appears to be mainstream and put them down as a poor
company.  :)  I do love the look of their knives and the variety they offer in design

Zed,

Very nice Sowbelly you got, glad you like it. The RR's truely are a great buy, the level of quality is surprisingly good for how little they cost. It'll serve you well.

dks,

Yes, that Colt Peanut you got is fancy cow Bone, not genuine Stag. Not sure where you are buying your knives from but in their description it should say as much. You'll know real Stag when you see it.

The different nail nicks you mention, a long pull one on the mainblade and a short nick on the secondary blade is very common in slipjoints. These particular Colt's are just one in many that have produced slipjoints with this nail pull set-up.

The reason the mainblade's nail pull is hidden behind the secondary blade is because the secondary blades "kick" is too tall. All you have to do is file down the kick a little bit to let the blade rest slightly lower in the frame. It is easy to do, but go slow and check it often. You don't want to shorten the kick too much or your blade will bottom out on the center pin bulge of the backspring. This should of been corrected at the factory before it was shipped, but these things do happen.

Anyway, nice set of knives you got. And remember, when getting into slipjoints the variety is limitless. There are few standards when it comes to patterns, every maker doesn't do each the same way. And when it comes to handle materials in the antler category and those intended to look like such there is Bone Stag, Stag Bone, Bone made to look like Stag but done in different colors, Second Cut Stag Bone, Genuine Deer Stag, Genuine Elk Stag, Genuine Second Cut Stag and then the king of the hill.......Genuine India Stag. Some Bone Stag and Stag Bone can resemble real Genuine Stag quite well. So be careful and know what you are looking at.

If there is ever a question you have as to whether or not something is or isn't, just ask.  :tu:

Sorry to hear you've had a run of bad luck with Case. As with any maker sometimes lemons do get out. With manufacturers who do runs on a large scale this can happen more often.

As to their blade material, their regular run stainless stuff called "Tru-Sharp Stainless" is actually 420HC. The same stainless used in many a Buck knife. Heat treat is a bit different but other wise the same steel. That said you have to remember that stainless steel is just that, Stain-Less. They aren't stain-proof. And while 420HC is relatively low in Carbon it also isn't super high in Chromium content, and Chromium is the main alloying element that gives steels their stainless nature.

All stainless steels will rust, some are just more resistant to it than others. I've managed to get rust on some of mine. It takes alot but I have done it.

Not sure why you are having a hard time getting a good edge on their 420HC, it's actually a fairly easy steel to sharpen. It's not a super soft steel and does hold a decent edge but they hone up relatively easy.  :think:

As to the blade wobble.........that should of been sent back to Case. Case has excellent customer service. And while it might not be the fastest on the planet they have a good track record for making things right by the customer. You ever have a problem with a new Case piece get ahold of their CS Department. They'll do you right.

2xtap, thanks for the offer  :tu: , the bone was described as “Brown stag bone” for this Colt knife and “Black Stag” for the 6 blade stockman.
I do not know if the sellers actually know what they are, but I did not contact them beforehand to ask.  :(
Usually, with more expensive knives, I would ask more and also ask to see some pictures to select the knives, something necessary with stag. 

Note that, I am not unhappy with them.

I have some more stag scaled knives coming that should be the real deal.

I will try fixing the peanut's blade, the problem is I will be worried I will end up scratching the bolsters…

On a positive note, the Colt peanut does look like it’s from a more premium product range then the stockman, something expected since they actually do cost about the same and the stockman is a lot more complicated and bigger.
I am posting a picture of it next to the Case peanut and a Kissing Crane to show the really nicely polished springs on it, something I have not seen on any of the other, Chinese made, slipjoints.

Zed, you can find small Case lockbacks, new or nearly new, for under 10 dollars to get a taste of the brand. Also their sodbusters, again new or nearly new, can be found from about 15 dollars, if you want a slipjoint, and they are quite good.
I like their fancier models too, but as you said, it’s quite hard to justify the purchase cost, especially for the larger models, hence my peanut. I usually keep an eye on eBay for any auctions on interesting but unpopular models that are within my price range.

Semi-Off Topic Rant:  :-\ The problem with sending the item back is that sometimes the postage cost is more than the item’s value. Some sellers will reimburse you for the postage cost, some will not. I remember being told by the local leatherman dealer that he would replace my leatherman squirt p4 for free under warranty, provided I paid the 30 Euro handling/postage fee for it to be sent to the States….

Post by: 2xTap on March 12, 2011, 04:25:37 PM
dks,

Well, they did have the Colt listed correctly as it is Brown Stag Bone.

Even outside contacting the dealer, if you are unsure of something don't hesitate to fire me off a PM here on the board. I am usually on here a couple times a day, I'll do what I can to help you. No problem.  :tu:

As to that Colt, when working down the kick use a small file and just go slowly. Very small increments. And check your progress often, remove a little and close the blade.

And that particular Colt is from the highest end range they do in that line. With it's fancy bolsters, swedged blades, long pulls, all mirror polished, and the boxes they come with it is their more expensive line. Not sure if you are into the Gunstock pattern but they have two different Gunstocks in this line and they are really sweet..........

(http://img2.imageshack.us/img2/5793/coltgunstocks03.jpg)

It's the only two I have from this particular series of Colts, been meaning to get more.

And I understand about the sending of items back to the companies for replacement or repair. Living overseas it can be a pain to get things back to the States due to cost. And especially if they are American made as they usually already cost a small fortune over there.  :(

Sean,

Ok, yeah.......I have no experience with those types of sharpeners. I have so many knives that come with all sorts of angles to their bevels as well as those I have with full convex grinds and convex edges that I just free-hand all my sharpening.

With my Case knives the bevels are usually at a good angle from the factory. I've had excellent results with just a ceramic two-sided pocket stone to keep a hair popping edge on my Case pieces that I use. If I let them get too dull I'll hit the edges quick with a few laps on a small Eze-Lap diamond stone I have and then fine up the edge on my ceramic.....followed by some light stropping on some bare leather. Shaving sharp!

Thanks for the info 2xtap!  I'll work with the systems I have and see how the edge
comes up for me.  You certainly have more versatility using the freehand method
and I'm sure once I work with the Cases a bit more I can bring up the edges nicely
as well. :)

1994 production Case Classic #3055 Wharncliffe Whittler in unused minty shape. It came with the original box and wrap but was missing all the paperwork. Not sweating it though considering how cheap I got this one for.

(http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/8818/caseclassicantiquegreen.jpg)

And it's a Split-Back........

(http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/8818/caseclassicantiquegreen.jpg)

It's 3 5/8" closed. Blades are polished 1095 carbon steel with nickle/silver bolsters and shield, and brass pins and liners. F&F is excellent, the only thing I found on this was some very light pepper on the backsprings which most disappeared after some light rubbing with Flitz.

Sorry about the pics, the muted sunlight I was getting from the overcast skies today made the color of the scales come through noticably brighter and more orange than they really are. The bone on this is more of a tan/caramel color. Not sure of the actual name as I've seen this bone called many things but I believe the actual name is Antique Green (even though there ain't a bit of green in them)......not sure though.

Anyway, a real nice piece to add to my very small but growing collection of CC's.  :2tu:

Here's another I just got recently. This one a new release by Kissing Crane.........

(http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/2882/kissingcranegreenbonesc.jpg)

(http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/2882/kissingcranegreenbonesc.jpg)

A Scout pattern done in the standard 4-blade configuration. Closed length is 3 3/4" with 420 stainless steel mainblade/awl/bottle opener-screwdriver/can opener. Bolsters and shield are nickle/silver, and the liners and pins are brass. Blades and backspring area are brush finished with a mirror polish everywhere else. Scales are Olive Green jigged bone.

(http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/2882/kissingcranegreenbonesc.jpg)

Fit and finish is very good with even edge grinds that are sharp, zero blade play anywhere, backsprings have a good stoutness on all four, bail swings tight, the only fault I could find was in the backspring area where there are a few minor hairline gaps........

(http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/2882/kissingcranegreenbonesc.jpg)

Overall not a bad piece at all. These are still made in China and are of the most recent releases since the brand is no longer associated with the Robert Klaas name. Not bad for a Scout costing a little over $20 but the Rough Rider version I believe is still a better buy in this pattern.

The Rough Rider versions are still being made, not sure of the place where you buy yours but they can be found. The Rough Rider Scout is a bit more burly than this KC version, and it's also designed off of a much older version of the Scout. And the RR version has a nicer finish being all mirror polished......as well as being cheaper. I picked up both of my Rough Rider Scouts combined for the cost of this single KC version.

Good buys, I have been wondering about Elk ridge knives for some time, but that wooden scaled one looks very nice. Nice bone on the Kissing Crane too.  :tu:

I like the schrade´s pattern too, though I have found their finish hit and miss, usually the ends of the knife’s blade (I am sure they have a name..) touching the springs are not polished properly making them feel rough when opening or closing.

I am sure you will enjoy them all, the RR should be the best quality one, I assume.

Any, preliminary, observations?  :pok:

As for the scout knives, if you are interested, I got one some time ago of THE auction site, for a very reasonable price nad they can still be found there, I posted a bit about it in the review section a few weeks back (yes I know, shameless self promotion  >:D ).

I like the schrade´s pattern too, though I have found their finish hit and miss, usually the ends of the knife’s blade (I am sure they have a name..) touching the springs are not polished properly making them feel rough when opening or closing.

I am sure you will enjoy them all, the RR should be the best quality one, I assume.

Any, preliminary, observations?  :pok:

As for the scout knives, if you are interested, I got one some time ago of THE auction site, for a very reasonable price nad they can still be found there, I posted a bit about it in the review section a few weeks back (yes I know, shameless self promotion  >:D ).

well the RR peanut all seems solid for its little size, the cane creek has a 2 stop click (think thats what its called lol) very solid and fit and finnish spot on, the elk ridge doesnt have the same snap to the blades when opend but all finnish is very nice, main blade is like a toothpick in shape, scales really nice, my favourite is the schrade, the fit and finnish is very good and all blades snap nicely into place, i love the scales and there well fitted, all good ,  :tu: oh all blades pretty sharp , the peanuts are very sharp out the box as usual,

Maybe these are but I doubt, from my experience, that all Schrades are made by the same factory as RR, the quality of some that I have is way below RR... mind you I got some steel warrior and some buck creek, supposedly German, knives today and their quality was nothing to shout about..... I will post some pictures later, I am trying to sort the whole thing out with the dealer.
Title: Re: Show your slip joint's thread!
Post by: 2xTap on March 15, 2011, 10:01:01 PM
The Taylor Brand Schrades that are made in China are not made by the people that build the Rough Riders. While some of the patterns produced by both will be similar.....you will find the same when comparing some of these to the likes of Case and other bigger brands (alot of them are designed from original classic patterns from these bigger name brands).

Also, the quality from Taylor in their Schrade line is consistantly not as good as that of the Rough Riders, nor of many other import lines.

dks,

The Steel Warriors I haven't been all that impressed with myself. Some are quite good but they don't quite compare overall to the Rough Riders. But, I do have two Frost Family Brand Trappers that are of the same build as the Steel Warriors (same materials, same patterns, built by the same people) and they are as good or better than most of my Rough Riders. But these I believe are the exception, not the rule.......particularly when speaking of Frost Cutlery.

 As to the Buck Creeks you mention, what is wrong with the ones you got?

I picked up a pair of Buck Creek Large Stockmans a while back and was quite impressed by their quality considering the price.........

(http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/5358/buckcreekdiamondbacks01.jpg)

Very good F&F on these two.........

(http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/9936/buckcreekdiamondbacks05.jpg)

And while German made they ain't quite up to the level of Friedrich Olbertz or Boker, their price makes up for the slight difference.

part 2, The problems...

A crack, scales falling off (steel warrior), off centre blade, bolt sticking out, flaking Buck Creek, soft, flaky stag buck creek.

As I said, I am in contact with the seller and he is more than happy to replace any of them... I am trying to see if postage cost will be covered.
The stag on the buck creek is very similar to some stag I got on some, much cheaper, schrade deerslayers, i.e. not the most brilliant quality.
I have had problems with scales on buck and RR before so I know these occur with other, good quality, slipjoints.
For me, the Buck Creek are reasonably expensive knives (luxury items where looks and finish are very important) so I expect a much better level of finish than with the chinese made knives. I think Buck Creek and to the extend that I know, German Bulldog knives are not of the most brilliant quality, they seem to be below, similarly priced Case knives, from my limited experience...

Zed, I still cant see the pictures...

OK, on the same topic :> Schrade, I am sure one day all these will be appreciated more and worth a looooot of money!  :rofl:

These were bought because they were interesting, colourwise, and I did not at the time have any of the brand.

The deerslayers are OK, supposed to be handmade..., but still not as good as the RR ones. They are my retirement investment..  :rofl:

The stag scales are not totally aligned with the liners, you can feel the liner sticking out, but the rest are better, though you have the odd bolt sticking a bit too high.

The small trapper and the large stockman are not bad, a bit of blade play but useable.

The red peanut(?) and the sodbuster (like a Jr Case but a quarter of the price) have a very rough opening feel, they have not been finished properly. I have filed them down a bit and improved the movement but they really need to be taken apart and sorted.

The large stockman and the small peanut have quite interesting scales, very colourful, and I just had to have a yellow sodbuster, but did not want to buy another case (cost).

dks,

The Stag on that Steel Warrior is just plain screwed all to hell, that is just horrible. Definitely that one has to go. Can't see anything wrong with the Dirtbuster, might be missing something.

Anyway, if you are unhappy with any of them for any reason, if you can, I say return them. Don't go about with things you don't want. Be happy with what you spend your money on.

Alrighty, just got a slew of new ones myself. Well, new to me anyway. All of these are Queen-built Robesons. Production of these was around 2004, short run and long discontinued SFO material.

These are all 4" in the closed position and built on a slight serpentine style frame. The only real difference between them all is that the Rootbeer Bone and Caramel Wormgroove versions have rounded bolsters and the Antique Green and Raspberry Bone versions have squared bolsters.

These are single backspring Muskrats and all feature the same build......nickle/silver bolsters and shield, brass liners and pins, 420HC Stainless blades, Shuredge blade etch and tang stamp, and all have a virtually impeccable level of Fit and Finish. The only real fault I can find in any of them is on the Caramel Wormgroove Bone one. It's backspring is noticably lighter than on the other three. Not weak, but the others are rather stout and this one is just easier. Also the main Clip Point blade on this one has a ever so slight lateral play in it. Outside of that can't find a fault.

Been a while now since I have been able to add any new Robesons to my collection as they are made in low numbers and in a "on again/off again" fashion, and they only show up here and there. Glad I got the opportunity on these, and at the price I got them for which was just sweet!  :tu:

NutSAK,

I've never been one for the typical Muskrats either, that was until I got that Stag one from GEC. I do prefer the blade set-up of the Improved versions, they are like the old Hawbaker Specials that CSC is currently making now. And GEC has a version in their Furtaker line which now has me very interested.

But with these, for me, it was more that they are Robesons than anything else.

The caramel and the improved are very unusual and interesting.

Thanks for sharing.

I sure wish you hadn't mentioned the CSC....   ::)  Luckily it appears to be a bit out of my price range.

I'm impressed with the many different patterns that GEC offers, but I find it strange that they have a muskrat and a trapper both in the Furtaker line with the same clip/wharnie combo.  Also, I think true muskrats should have a single spring, not two, just like a true whittler should have two, not three.  That's just me, I suppose.  ;)

I damn near bought that green Tidioute Furtaker Trapper Mike had in the "EDC" section, but someone else got to it before I made up my mind.  :-[  Oh well, another knife I didn't need!  :D  I bought that red Humpback CV "whittler" instead.

Yeah, the CSC Hawbakers are somewhat overpriced. And considering for the same money you can get a Furtaker from GEC that's alot more knife with a superior build.

Not sure why you find it weird that two different patterns would have the same blades, is quite common actually. You can find Jacks, Barlows, and Gunstocks with the same blades. Standard Trappers and Moose patterns with the same blades.

Too bad you missed out on that particular Furtaker. They are sweet knives. If you ever get the hankering for one again...........

I'm really starting to prefer buying "used" slips like this on Ebay.  I quote "used" because the knife pictured above hasn't actually been used.  The reason I like to buy them this way is that they're usually described in good detail, unlike a new knife that you would buy from a internet retailer.  The sellers of the used knives will many times show pictures of the knives at many angles and will describe the snap of the blades, whether there's any lateral play, etc.  If the seller is honest, you know exactly what you're getting.  There are no brick-and-mortar knife stores near me where I can handle a knife before I buy it, so auctions like this are one of my most reliable sources.

I agree, I got a couple of knives that could have easily been sold as new, without the original packaging, for a much lower than the new price... If I find a seller like that I go back again and support him.  :tu:

I described this as a bone-handled coke bottle, but is this bone or delrin?  Due to the variation in color across the pile-side scale, I assumed it as bone but I know that Delrin was substituted sometimes in the 1970's when bone was in short supply.

NEVER be ashamed of your accent and idioms.  To me, it's one of the most enjoyable things about visiting a new place.

When we moved to Baltimore (pronounced Balmer), the local dialect was one of the few things we enjoyed.

So, PROP'S to the West Virginian accent.  :tu:

NutSAK,

From the pics looks like bone to me. Their delrin is usually pretty consistant in color, even on the older models. The slight fade you have in this one towards the bolsters strikes me as bone.

Nice one, is this your first Case piece?

So, are you going to let the blades age naturally or are you going to force a patina?

Thanks for your input doubletap.  You confirmed my suspicion.  :tu:

BTW, you mentioned forcing the CV patina...  I've been letting my CVs develop on their own, but I'm so anal about maintenance (clean, then whatever oil is available) that I'm not sure it will ever happen.  I cut apples, limes, etc. but will immediately clean and use facial oil if that's all that is available. (eww!  :D)  I've been considering using vinegar or mustard on one of my CVs to force it.

If you clean them up after use it will take a while to form a good patina. The thing with forcing it is you can attain a nice even patina that doesn't get all splotchy. Lots of different methods out there, warm vinegar, mustard, apples, onions......got to start off with a very clean blade though.

Got a neat one here I've had for a while that has a cool little story behind it.

When I got this I thought I had taken pics of it but apparently I didn't and just cleaned it up and put it away with my others. Took these pics yesterday. Anyway I got this knife about a year ago from a friend as a gift. He told me he was sending me a little something as a gift for getting him addicted to Great Eastern Knives......I wasn't expecting a GEC knife. Way more than I deserve, that's for sure.

Anyway, a while before this he had contacted GEC about having them build some knives from a block of Rosewood he had. He contacted Chris at GEC and they said they would but it would be made on a upcoming run of patterns they had in the works. So he sent the block of Rosewood and they offered him a choice of patterns they would make it in. As he was looking to get knives for his grandkids, and one of them was a lefty, he opted to have the Rosewood made in a #73 pattern they were going to be running in a left hand version. It was a short run and they sent him a couple, and one of those he sent to me as a gift for pulling him over to the "Dark Side"!  ;)

Here it is........

(http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/1999/gectidioutelhlrosewoods.jpg)

(http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/1999/gectidioutelhlrosewoods.jpg)

It's a GEC Tidioute #735109EC LHL pattern. A end capped #73 Scout at 3 3/4" closed, in left-hand configuration with a linerlock. Late 2009 production and a very short run, only 15 were made.

(http://img857.imageshack.us/img857/1999/gectidioutelhlrosewoods.jpg)

Bolsters and shield are of nickle/silver, pins and liners are brass, scales are very nice Rosewood slabs, blade is of 1095 carbon steel done in a brushed finish. Fit and finish is clean and flawless. Typical of GEC there is no gaps anywhere, blade has zero play, backspring is quite stout and the spring rests flush with the blade opened or closed, clean grinds with a decent edge, and the blade when in the open position mates up to the backspring nearly seamlessly........

(http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/1999/gectidioutelhlrosewoods.jpg)

A great little knife, and for me one with a nice story behind it. And one given as a gift from a fellow collector and all around great guy.

Real nice bud, them scales sure are Red. I really like the color on that one. Is this one you ordered from Mike?

So how is the F&F on it, and how does it feel in the hand? I've been on again/off again looking at these. I like the look but usually when I end up buying a new Case Stockman it's either a #75 or #47 pattern. I've been wanting to get into these but just haven't jumped at it yet.

Yep, this one came from Mike at CK.net.  It looks like I didn't have to worry too much about faded red, huh?

I've put together a short review of the Humpback in a separate thread.  Check it out!  BTW, I would like us to consider separating out the reviews like the ones you do into separate threads in the future.  They just seem to get buried in here.

 :tu:  I'd like to see more of that small barrel-lock knife with the corkscrew Zed.

I gave my Humpback Whittler a "tan" last night:

I dunked each blade in hot vinegar for 5-10 minutes, then followed up with #00 steel wool.  It made for a nice, even grey patina.

i like that look, would it work on my barlow ?

they are both richards sheffield miniture pocket knives, i made a new loop for the CS model as was missing so i copied the one off of the MOP one,

Very cool!  That's about the most compact corkscrew knife I've ever seen.

The "forced patina" with vinegar that I did on the Humpback will work on any carbon blade.  It will have no effect on stainless blades.  Other methods can be used to get a patina but, AFAIK, vinegar & steel wool is the best way to get an even finish.  The longer the blade is exposed to the acid, the darker the patina will be--to a point.  Mustard, onions, citrus fruits, apples, raw meat, etc. can be used also to different effect.

NutSAK,

That came out real good on that Humpback.

I've never been one much for carbon steel in my knives, I prefer a good stainless. I've also never been a fan of patina but it does look good in certain ways on certain knives. A properly done even coverage forced patina, to me, always looks better than a natural patina.

Yours came out real good, that even gray coverage on the blades works well against the polished bolsters and beautiful red bone. You did that one up right!  :tu:

Post by: NutSAK on March 26, 2011, 04:26:45 AM
That's awesome Ash!  :rofl:

I just got my CV Swayback today, and I know what the man is singing about.  The fit and finish is literally perfect, and the chestnut bone is bea-u-ti-ful!!  As many others have said (and the song says) I would like it to be a bit bigger, but it's a helluva knife for its size.

2xTap, thanks for the props on the patina--it was very easy to do.  I've always been a stainless guy in the past too (SAKs of course), but now I find myself with two Case CV knives and one more on the way.  I really like the edge holding ability that CV offers for a user while still being very easy to sharpen.  If I was a collector type guy, I would be buying a lot of stainless.

If I hadn't put the patina on that knife, I knew I would be polishing the damn thing every day or two, so I bit the bullet.  I'm glad I did.  As you know, the patina is sort of a "living" thing that is always changing, but if it gets to where I don't like it, I can always do another steel wool and vinegar treatment to even it up again.  I very much dislike mirror finishes on a user knife so, to me, the carbon patina is an excellent alternative.  I'm pleased with how it turned out too, and find myself pulling it out of my pocket to look at it frequently.  ;) :D

Ashley,

That is just Classic! And even funnier, after the song ended, as I started to type this I found myself humming the song!  :rofl:

NutSAK,

With Case, I've been more than happy with the edge holding of their Stainless. As long as you don't thin the edge out too much it holds up well to everyday chores. For me though, I still have to maintain carbon steel even with a patina for it still rusts on me. A real old patina not so much, but I still have to be careful. With the 420HC Case uses, alot less maintainance.

And I'm just the opposite, I prefer polished blades on my users. They are much easier to clean and maintain......and harder to rust. And if I am too lenient on keeping my blades clean, even polished 420HC, I can rust them. I already put two small pits on the mainblade of my Case Gunboat in stainless. It took about a week to develope, it would of been mere days with this type of stainless had they been brushed finished or satin.

You have the color right.  I wanted the '05, but it was sold out before I bought the '07.  I'm usually one for more subdued colors, so this one will be shocker.  I do like the shield on the '07 better though.

I was figuring you'd opt for the '05 with it's more caramel hue......the '07 definitely pops. And I'm with you on the shield, the '07 has a better look.

Whittingslowe is not a very well known knife making company as it was established in the 1920's & it folded in the 1950's. It was based in South Australia my adopted home state.I have seen a paint scrapper & a pee shelling devise made by Whittingslowe  :o :o :D .I think the item they made most of was military issue clasp knives in the BAK style. The knives were issued too Aussie , Commonwealth & US service men during WWII.They also made utility/fighting knife;

Thanks man.  Honestly, I'm not likely to keep the orange trapper.  The color of the bone is not really my taste, and I don't really like the profile of the clip blade.  IMO, they didn't leave the blade full enough, it's not very deep from spine to edge at any point along the blade.  I've never been a big fan of trappers because I don't think I'd use the long spey much.  The wharncliffe is very nice, just not nice enough to change my mind about that particular trapper.  Maybe I'll try a full-size wharnie trapper next time.

What can I say, I'm more of a jack or whittler kinda guy.  The single-blade trapper is  :drool: in person though.  Nearly as  :drool: as the swayback.

Thanks man.  Honestly, I'm not likely to keep the orange trapper.  The color of the bone is not really my taste, and I don't really like the profile of the clip blade.  IMO, they didn't leave the blade full enough, it's not very deep from spine to edge at any point along the blade.  I've never been a big fan of trappers because I don't think I'd use the long spey much.  The wharncliffe is very nice, just not nice enough to change my mind about that particular trapper.  Maybe I'll try a full-size wharnie trapper next time.

What can I say, I'm more of a jack or whittler kinda guy.  The single-blade trapper is  :drool: in person though.  Nearly as  :drool: as the swayback.

I hear ya bud......the long Clip on these smaller Trappers is often quite narrow. It's kind of the nature of these longer California and Turkish Clip styles.

Have you looked at Great Eastern? They have done some superb stuff with Wharnie mainblades, and most of it in Carbon Steel.........

Oh yeah.  Don't think I don't have my eye on GEC.  ;)

Since I consider all of the slippies I buy users though, they're a bit out of my price range right now.  It's tough to justify those prices when you can get some really nice knives from other US companies such as Case and, especially, Queen.

NutSAK,

I know what you mean as the GEC's are not inexpensive. But there is that "something" about them that sets them apart from most other manufacturers. An old world quality that I've not seen from many made today, about the closest to it would the Schatt & Morgans and Robesons from Queen.

Even the smell of GEC's is different.....yes, the smell! Hard to explain. You'll know what I mean when you get one. I own somehwhere around 15 or so GEC's and all are top tier in F&F. And I am talking tight and stout. The small things you can come across with Case and Queen knives on occassion, faint gaps, uneven edges, light backsprings, unevenly finished pin heads, etc. you will not find on a GEC. The worst thing I can say about GEC's is that their edges barely come user sharp. They don't put razor edges on their knives. But you can't beat the level of F&F......while you can get a similar level of F&F on some Case and Queen pieces, GEC takes it a step further.

But then GEC doesn't build in the same numbers as Case and Queen. Often their runs can be counted in the double digits. So with them you are getting what you pay for.

I know I sound like I am some kind of spokesman for them but I have to say as much as I love my Case knives and all those I own built by Queen (my favorite all time pattern and my mainstay EDC is from Case, and my most prized collection are my Robesons from Queen) Great Eastern builds, on the whole, a better knife.

Anyway, them pics you took of your newest Case pieces are excellent. You really have a eye for photography. And I have to say I really like that Orange Mini-Trapper. That thing looks sweet as hell. I do prefer the larger Trapper patterns but that one just looks so good. Great stuff, thanks for sharing the eye-candy.

Now, comparatively speaking, how's the build between the three of them?

OK OK OK!!  I bought a GEC today.  Should I just send the commission check directly to you, and save postage from Titusville?  ;) :D

I do prefer the larger Trapper patterns but that one just looks so good. Great stuff, thanks for sharing the eye-candy.

Aw, thanks man.  :)  Honestly, I don't try that hard at the photos, I just try to get good lighting and reduce glare, and maybe adjust the aperture a bit for some depth effect.  I guess after taking photos of SAKs and flashlights for so many years, it has sort of become second nature.  What I would really like to start doing though is setting up some backgrounds with some props and nice materials and such, but I'm usually in too big of a hurry to do so.


Now, comparatively speaking, how's the build between the three of them?

The Swayback is perfect.  There isn't really a single thing I can fault on that knife at all--good snap (for a Case), no gaps in the backsprings, flush fitting of scales, great jigging, etc. etc.  I had read that Tony Bose worked directly with Case to get this one right, and I believe it.  That Swayback is the only Case I own that has the springs fitting flush with the liners in all blade positions.  The tangs mate with the ends of the springs very well and aren't overly polished and rounded like most are.

The single blade Wharncliffe Mini Trapper is a close second.  The best snap of the three, and beautifully finished bone.  There is a bit of a spring gap at the blade end, but no lateral play in the blade at all, so it's just aesthetic, IMO.  The blade has the typical polished, rounded tang where it mates with the backspring.

The two blade Wharncliffe Mini Trapper would be third, but is still quite acceptable at this price level.  Same spring gap, but with slight lateral play in both blades.  The pile side cover (scale) isn't polished as well as the mark side, so the bone looks a little "drier", if you know what I mean.  The knife was clogged with polishing compound when I got it, in the joints and in the pores of the bone.  It took a scrub bath immediately after I received it, and now all is well.  :D

The odd bit is in the bevels of the blades.  The clip blade on the orange trapper and the Wharncliffe on the single blade are slightly hollow ground, whereas the Wharncliffe on the orange trapper is flat.  I don't think this is a rare occurrence though, as I've seen the same thing with the Case knives I have from the 70's.

What you have there is a WW II era Engineers pocket knife.

In 1944 they started using the safety can opener, which yours has.

So your knife was made from 1944 on till some time after WWII when all the extra parts were used up.

I ain't got any of the #66 patterns yet, how's the backsprings on these? Also, how's the edges on that one? I heard recently that GEC has improved the factory edges on their newer releases and that they come fairly sharp now.

And yes, you can send that Commission Check straight to me. That would be good!  :D

Post by: NutSAK on April 10, 2011, 12:08:18 PM
Evidently the #66 has lighter springs than the larger patterns.  Everyone mentions those "bear trap" springs that GECs have, but these aren't that strong.  The snap is good, but honestly I'm a little bit disappointed that it doesn't "clack" shut.  It wouldn't keep me from buying another though, and that new Calf Roper looks like a perfect EDC.

The edges were good out of the tube, but there was a burr on both blades.  A few quick swipes with a fine stone had her shavin'.  It had much better factory edges than any Queen I've handled.

What's the deal 2xTap?  I think this is the first knife I've posted that you didn't ask about F&F.  I guess you figured that there was no point in asking, and you would be right about that.   ;)  My oh my do they build these right!  I have a serious problem now--I don't know which one to get next!  It'll probably be a #73, maybe even a stainless one with an acorn shield.  ;)  :D
Title: Re: Show your slip joint's thread!
Post by: 2xTap on April 10, 2011, 05:54:18 PM
NutSAK,

Well, GEC does make strong springs. Most of the larger patterns are stout, and noticably so. But it is really only the #23 and #73 patterns that usually come with the nail-breaker level of springs. This is due in part because of the strongs springs added with blades that have squared up tangs.....this combo can make it feel like you are opening a bear trap. I was just curious how their springs are on this new pattern.

Sounds as though they have improved the edges somewhat if it took just a few swipes to get it shaving sharp, this is good.

Yeah, I wasn't even going to bother to ask how the F&F was. I already know. Since 2006 when the first GEC's were released I can count on one hand the number of times I've heard mentioned on any forum anyone that had a complaint about a GEC's fit and finish (two times that I can recall!). A lemon from GEC is a rare bird indeed. Matter of fact, considering how well put together their knives are, and how few are actually made in each run......I wouldn't be surprised if a GEC that leaves their factory with a F&F issue would become a hot collectable!!!!

Picking your next GEC is always a problem. Aside from a few times, I myself have that problem nearly everytime I look for my next.

As to steels, this is just a FYI.........the Northfield and Tidioute brands are always done in 1095 carbon steel. The GEC brand always comes with a Acorn shield and the main steel in this line is 440-C stainless but not all GEC brand come in this stainless. There was some early stuff done in 420HC and currently their is a line of GEC fixed blades with Acorn shields that resemble their Pioneer and Scout patterns and even have #23 and #73 pattern numbers......but these are done in 1095! Don't ask me why they did this, no one seems to know. But they are in fact GEC brand in carbon steel.

Great Eastern has also made alot of their pattern under other names on contract. Some of these are Bradford Cutlery, Good Old Days Cutlery, Cripple Creek, Tuna Valley, Bulldog USA, Schrade Cutlery, Ulster, and a few others. And all of these have come in a mix of steels.

Good luck on your next choice. I myself have been eyeing quite a few and have been meaning to get some every pay day, but I keep getting other "deals" thrown my way which has prevented me from expanding my GEC collection......(two more Robesons on their way to me as I type this, both in Stag!)  ;)

These are my first GEC's, a Tidioute Congress & a Northfield Whittler, both with forged 1095 carbon steel blades.
Until recently i'd never even heard of the brand, but after reading all the good impressions they seem to make on various forums i wanted to own a few to see for myself.
Both are indeed very well made, and although i'm not ready yet to lay down my Spyderco's, Striders or Microtech's, i'm quite certain the day will come that one of these will go into my pocket as well.

Very nice GECs kwakster!  That whittler is awesome, and that models seems to be fairly hard to find these days.  How do you like the size of that pattern?
Title: Re: Show your slip joint's thread!

These GEC knives, especially the jigged bone one, look quite classy, it shows what a fresh company can do in a very short time, they appear top quality and still have (slightly) reasonable prices. I don’t have any, but.....  :drool:

Here are some more products from another fresh and significantly cheaper, company that I got today.
These were bought to try these patterns and see the scale designs.

A muskrat RR683, with green synthstone scales, which to me feel just like plastic.
Looks good, some slight finish problems (a small amount of filler was used to patch up one of the scales) and interesting file work on the springs. Also the “snap” of one of the blades needs improving; I hope some cleaning will help.

A Bowie series Copperhead, RR949, sawcut bone design, appears fine and was, as expected, the most expensive of the lot (we are talking Rough Rider expensive here..). Very nice shield too.

Finally a midnight swirl whittler RR963, the interesting thing about it being that the larger and significantly thicker, blade utilises both the springs of the two smaller blades, giving it a distinct tapering as you go from the two blades side towards the single blade (from the spring side).

As I said, I had none of these patterns or scale designs before so I am quite happy to have them now.

at the moment terry the ulster knife co scout knife, its a little heavey for general pocket carry but i do like the pattern a lot, the other also with rogers bone on it is the imperial easy open, the main blade is well used but very sharp and i like having a smaller blade as my main one as less scary when i pull it out, but 2 of my real favourites so far for EDC'ing are the casexx sod buster jnr as a real hard working knife and the casexx mini trapper as real pretty  :tu:

Finally got me a #66 pattern from Great Eastern Cutlery. Gotta say I really like this frame pattern, a subtle serpentine style. A bit small for my liking but a nice piece none the less. This one is a Jack version done in Snakewood.......

(http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/1971/gecnorthfieldsnakewoodj.jpg)

(http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/1971/gecnorthfieldsnakewoodj.jpg)

I love the Snakewood, my first knife done in this wood. It won't be my last!

(http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/1971/gecnorthfieldsnakewoodj.jpg)

The knife is 3 1/2" closed sporting angle cut bolsters that are grooved and pinched, and made from nickle/silver. Pinned nickle/silver shield. Liners and pins are brass and the blades are mirror polished 1095. Blades have good edges on them, backsprings are smooth and yet stout without any nailbreaker quality, and with blades opened or closed the backsprings sit nice and flush. There is not a wiggle or wobble in any of the blades and in general all I can say is the fit and finish is typical GEC........

(http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/1971/gecnorthfieldsnakewoodj.jpg)

........Perfect!

A sweet little piece!  :2tu:

Trust me, my pics don't do this piece justice. It's much nicer and the wood more beautiful in person. The grain and character in this Snakewood is so pronounced, I don't know why I waited so long to get some.

I really like the pattern, it is slick. I do wish it was a bit larger, more like 3 3/4" or 3 7/8" but still real nice regardless. It's got me eyeing some more on this frame, both the Moose and the Calf Roper stockman.

I know they currently don't have any planned but I hope somewhere along the way they do some of these in 440-C Stainless.

I agree with you on the size of the pattern, it would fit a bit better if it was slightly longer.  It is a nice size in the pocket, but I carry mine in a KSF slip anyway, so some space is wasted.

If they come out with a snakewood calf roper, I might just have to pick one up.

NutSAK,

I'm with you, a Calf roper in Snakewood I would have to scoop up. I noticed on Mike's site they do have a #53 Northfield Cuban Stockman out in Snakewood that has me chomping at the bit. And a #66 Northfield Calf Roper in Cocobolo that has me quite tempted. Hard choice as I have been wanting to add some more GEC stainless pieces to my collection. But these Northfields have me debating......as well as the new Northfield "Yellow Rose" Cuban too!

So many knives, so little money!  :cry:

Mike has picked out my next GEC for me, basically.  I just couldn't pass up the 2011 Conductor forum knife.  I'm not sure what combination I want though--I'm really tempted to get one with a bail.  Then the next one will be a work knife, probably a Tidioute #72 mini lockback.

Post by: 2xTap on April 24, 2011, 06:33:48 PM
NutSAK,

I was really looking forward to a Forum Knife from Mike but the pattern does nothing for me. It's great he is going with the 4 variations though......I'd love to get in on one but I just can't get past the pattern. When I had heard of it I was hoping for something more along the lines of either the #56 or #66 pattern.  :cry:

I'm still deciding my next, I've been debating for the past couple days. My list just keeps getting longer.......I've got 6 GEC's, a few Schatts, and a dozen Case pieces on it right now. Not sure which way I am wanting to go although my GEC jonesing is winning out. But I got to keep some money off to the side for the upcoming S&M Heritage Series that should be released soon.  :-\

(http://www.soonerstateknives.com/NF-53MSW.JPG)

Found it at a dealer I frequent for Case knives. Anyway, while I was buying he had some good prices on some new Case stuff and also ordered my first Case Humpback Stockman. I went with the Smooth Chestnut Bone version.

Yeah, got mine from comicinkdood. I was looking to get them other Canoes but other things happened my way and I just couldn't swing both.

The last production Robesons were done in D2 and of the Pocketeze line, I have these two I got from him as well as the Large Stockman in Stag in D2, and a couple bone handled Gunstocks and a bone handled Canoe from this series when they first came out. The previous run to these are where yours comes from.....I have several Canoes and Railsplitters from that run as well and they were all in 420HC stainless that I recall.

The Robesons are SFO pieces ordered through SMKW's. They mentioned last night on their Knives Live show that another Robeson series is in the works and will be coming out soon!  :2tu:

I suggest watching their show as it's likely the only way you are going to catch them, at least until some make it to Ebay. The last Series that was produced only made it to their show. None of them ever wound up on their website or in their cataloges. They generally sell out quick.

Even recently they have had several releases of Robeson "Seconds" in the past few months, all from the Pocketeze Series.....all sold out during their airings.

Post by: 2xTap on April 30, 2011, 10:29:30 PM
Got a couple new one's in recently. Earlier this week actually but today was when I finally got around to taking some pics.

This first one is a new old stock Great Eastern. 2007 production Northfield Muskrat in Snakewood......

(http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/8076/gecnorthfieldsnakewoodm.jpg)

Am a little disappointed in this one as the handle material doesn't match well between sides, as you can see here on the pile side......

(http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/8076/gecnorthfieldsnakewoodm.jpg)

Still, it's a rock solid, well built piece of typical GEC quality.......

(http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/8076/gecnorthfieldsnakewoodm.jpg)

Next one is my first Case Humpback. For Stockman patterns from Case the #75 and #47 are the only ones that have really ever caught my interest. But when these new #046 patterns were released, I was intrigued.

(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/5791/casechestnuthumpbacksto.jpg)

(http://img862.imageshack.us/img862/5791/casechestnuthumpbacksto.jpg)

It's in Smooth Chestnut Bone. It's a good looking piece. For a Stockman it's a tad on the small size for me but it does fit pretty well in the hand. F&F is great, the knife is pretty much rock solid. And I was surprised by the stoutness of the backsprings. I've found most of Case's smaller patterns usually come with what I call light backsprings, not lazy just lighter than what I like. But this thing has backsprings on it like if it was made by GEC. Very nice!

What I am not sure about is the fit of the backsprings. Mine has what appears to be a slight hairline gap running the entire length of the knife between both backsprings.....

(http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/5791/casechestnuthumpbacksto.jpg)

.......it's slight, and I can see no light through it. But as this knife doesn't use a brass spacer between the springs, the springs being butted right up against each other, I don't know if this is truely a gap or just a slight rounding of the edges along these backsprings that make it appear to be a gap. As I said, I can nothing through there when held up to a light.  :-\

But anyway, overall it's a great knife. And the hefty backsprings were a welcome surprise. I do believe I will be getting more of this pattern.

 :tu: Oh, that humpback is VERY nice.  That's the first I've seen of the smooth chestnut, and it looks like they've done a great job with it.  I prefer the look of smooth scales on this pattern--this one and the micarta whittler both have very clean lines, and I think the jigged scales disrupt that look.  Good to hear that your main isn't lazy like the one on my whittler too.  I would suspect you're right about the rounded edges on the springs, considering Case's habit of over-polishing their steel.

Post by: 2xTap on May 01, 2011, 07:02:30 AM
trey,

Thanks bud, I try!  ;)

NutSAK,

They did pretty well with the smooth bone on this Case. I really like the mark side scale as it has a slight mottled look and is a bit lighter in color. The pile side is darker and more solid throughout, and while I do like my smooth bone a more solid consistant color.....this Chestnut color actually looks real good a bit mottled with the variation of hues. Can't say that I find any of the jigged variations better or worse for looks on this pattern. Need to get a jigged version in hand to really say and I am eyeing the Harvest Orange one as my next possible #046.

I was really surprised by the backsprings. When I took it out of the box I was expecting #18 type backsprings, rather light. I found out quick this wasn't the case and had to really set my thumbnail into the pulls on this one to get the blades open. And on all three. I really like that. This thing walks and talks very well.

Thanks Paul.  Yes, that Wharncliffe mini trapper is the same model as yours.  Coincidentally, I got mine just a couple of weeks before you first posted a pic of yours.

See here: http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,6299.msg479846.html#msg479846 (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,6299.msg479846.html#msg479846)

There are only a couple in the pic that I haven't posted here before.  At lower right, the Great Eastern Cutlery Northfield #73 Scout in blood red bone, and just below the Case Barlow is a Queen trapper jack or "dogleg" jack in birdseye maple.  The Scout is my newest knife and for some reason the birdseye maple on that Queen is very hard to photograph.  When the birdseye is photographed, the white balance has to be just right or colors show that aren't present to the eye.  This photo is fairly representative--it appears grey with slight purpleish tones.

NutSAK,

Very nice group pic. The vibrant colors stand out real well between them all. Cool background choice as well, gives everything a almost wet look.

I know what you mean with the BEM on the Queen. For ones with lighter scales the purple comes out a bit more. Of the two I have the colors vary noticably between the two. My Gunstock has none of that slight purplish hue and is much darker, almost green in a way......

(http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/3181/queenbemstockmangunstoc.jpg)

On the Large Stockman you can just barely get a hint of that slight purple. The grain of the wood itself I think plays a large part in the color variation.......

(http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/3181/queenbemstockmangunstoc.jpg)

My Gunstock version is the only one from the BEM run I've seen with this particular look, all the others I have handled or seen pics of look more like my Large Stockman.

Thanks.

Yep, that Stockman turned out just like mine does in most photos.  I've seen other folks comment on the more greenish-tinted BEM online, but all the stock photos show that purplish tint too.  I'd say the greener ones are less common.  Regardless, I've not seen a photo yet that does these scales justice (no offense  ;) ).  They really look and feel great in person, IMO.

BTW, I now know what everyone is talking about when they say the #73 has nailbreaker springs.  Luckily I have tough nails, as I plan to use this one A LOT.  I almost wish I had bought a Tidioute with the normal nail knick, as they seem to be farther out toward the end of the blade and possibly give a bit more leverage.  As it is, I do love the look of the long matchstriker pull and swedge on the Northfield.
Title: Re: Show your slip joint's thread!
Post by: 2xTap on May 07, 2011, 05:38:03 AM
NutSAK,

Yeah, the greenish looking BEM isn't all that common. At least from what I have seen. And either way, this handle material as it comes from Queen has to be in hand to really be appreciated. I remember when these were first released the tons of complaints people had about the look of the BEM. Even I at the time thought it looked weird with the purplish hues.....but it grew on me quick. And after getting them I find it a even better looking scale material.

The #73's can be stout, the two I have ain't quite in the nailbreaker class but they have decently heavy springs. Both of mine have the forward nail nick. Ain't got no #73's with the long pulls to compare them to so I can't really say if their is any perceivable difference. Now the bigger #23's, these won't make much difference what pull they have. You get one of the real stout ones and you'll bend a nail back regardless if you don't do it right. I've got two in particular that are very unforgiving.

Now there is a Camillus that has seen some serious pocket time. Nice old user you got there bud.

NutSAK,

Great pics bud, your skills with a camera (and your eye for a nice pic) are getting real good. That #73 is a beaut. The combination of the polish, that long matchstriker, and that Blood Red Bone just go very well together. Makes for a real eye-catching slippie.

GEC Tidioute #66 Calf Roper Stockman in Black Micarta....

And it has that typical flawless GEC fit and finish......

(http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/2073/gectidiouteblackmicarta.jpg)

While the #66 pattern is a tad small for my tastes, I am finding myself liking this pattern more and more. The Jack version I have is very nice and now I have one of the Stockman versions. I am really debating a Moose variant at the moment.

And I really like the smooth Black Micarta on this run.........

The Buck Creek was quite gritty, and the blade touches a bit on the side, but it was bought for the look of the stag…

Zed, you are quick! I though i was the only one glued to the computer.  :D

It’s the first mother of pearl knife I got, and it’s very nicely finished.

They do tend to go for silly money usually, but I am glad I got this one.

RR larger toothpicks are quite nice; these small ones feel a bit too dainty and are too small to use, for me.
But, I wanted a Painted Desert model and I like stag, so… The funny thing is that the stag look and the finish are similar to the Buck Creek knife I got yesterday.

I finally got a wooden Svord, shown with a plastic one for comparison.

The plastic ones feel smoother, in operation.

The wooden handles seem to be made from lightly varnished cheap-feeling wood.
Their size is practically identical.

The wooden one weighs only about a gram less than the plastic ones so the handles density must be similar.

Great Eastern Cutlery Weaver's Jack, rust red Micarta.  This one is an "S" or "store" model, with scale color mis-match, and was priced accordingly.

NutSAK,

Very nice, I like that handle material. Not sure which I like better though, the pile side or the mark side. I do like that GEC decided to go with a noticably less curvy Hawkbill on the mainblade of these.  :tu:

I bet these are pretty thick for their size being a three backspringer, got any backspring shots?

Title: Re: Show your slip joint's thread!
Post by: NutSAK on May 21, 2011, 07:41:23 PM
I totally agree on the main blade profile, and I wouldn't have bought one if it had a more traditional hawkbill profile.  This one should be perfect for cutting rope, landscape fabric, etc.

To me, the pile side is definitely more attractive.  Honestly, I thought this was probably the least attractive scale material offered in this pattern, but I wanted a tough user and the micarta seemed the obvious best choice.  I would really like to see the Northfield in green hemlock bone in person.

I don't have a backspring shot, but I'll get you one.  The width is exactly 5/8" at the head end, which actually feels really good to me, about like a 3-layer cellidor SAK.  Using the clip and pen blades are a bit awkward with the main folded, but not uncomfortable.

Post by: 2xTap on May 21, 2011, 08:26:46 PM
NutSAK,

Yeah, I am not a fan of Hawkbill blades. GEC's take on it is much better. Not sure myself which I prefer as far as color. I am leaning to the mark side on yours but can't really say.

5/8" at it's thickest isn't bad. And I can see what you mean about using the secondaries with that big Hawk closed up.....with it's proud stance in the frame and that serpentine shape it's likely not the most comfortable. But hand size would likely be a serious determining factor on how it feels to certain individuals.

Nice slippie regardless.

Zed,

The Remington's are nice, at least for the earlier Camillus built stuff. I own alot of Camillus built Remingtons, mostly Scout pattern knives. All good. This new Stockman I got is real good. The newer remington stuff being made by Bear & Son has been a hit and miss affair though. I have one of these and it's OK, a Reproduction Scout......but have seen some others that were absolutely horrible.

I try to stick with the earlier Camillus built stuff.

I love the scout models, I have been trying to get some of the older ones on ebay, but they allways seem to be going for more than I am willing to pay. I make do with RR scouts.. :-[

I finally got a wooden Svord, shown with a plastic one for comparison.

The plastic ones feel smoother, in operation.

The wooden handles seem to be made from lightly varnished cheap-feeling wood.
Their size is practically identical.

The wooden one weighs only about a gram less than the plastic ones so the handles density must be similar.

You need to get your sandpaper out Dks  :salute:

It will feel lovely when you have had a play with it  ;)

Two canoes, a Colt Titanium and an Indian Head, similar to the Rough Rider canoes.
The Indian head is practically identical to the Rough Rider Long rifle Canoe, down to the bone used. The Indian Head, however, says that it is Hand Made.

The Colt has a very shiny titanium coating, and is the smoothest feeling of all the canoes I have that are made in that same factory.
It has nicely polished springs, and the finish is a “click” better than the Indian Head and RRs.

Zed,

No, the Camillus built Rem's don't say Camillus on them anywhere. So as not to confuse, when I mention the earlier Camillus built Remingtons I am referring to the Remingtons of the 1980's and 1990's and those built up until the original Camillus closed it doors back in 2007.

The tell tale marks of a Camillus built Remington, at least for me, aren't easy to quantify into words. I grew up with Camillus knives so I have a long familiarity with their build quality, style, and patterns. But knowing year of manufacture is the easiest way to determine a Camillus built Remington slipjoint.

But even without that, even with similar patterns in hand, it's noticable to tell the difference between a Camillus or Bear built Remington (after the bankruptcy of Camillus, Bear & Son did acquire some of the old Camillus tooling) if you are familiar with how each company builds their slipjoints.

I had one of those, take care, they bite! A couple of times as I closed it the blade caught me due to the open frame of the handle. I couldn't get used to it and ended up giving it away.

Just got this one in a few days ago. From a earlier series of Great Easterns, low production run of Furtakers done with 440-C blades. Been meaning to get all of them that were produced but it's been a slow process.

(http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/7709/gecamberfurtakermuskrat.jpg)

(http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/7709/gecamberfurtakermuskrat.jpg)

(http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/7709/gecamberfurtakermuskrat.jpg)

This one is a #53 pattern Furtaker Muskrat. It's 4 1/8" in the closed position. These were a short run item with only 25 produced in each pattern in each handle material. They came serialized and with a CoA......

(http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/7709/gecamberfurtakermuskrat.jpg)

Blades on these are polished 440-C stainless. Bolsters and shield are Nickle/silver with brass liners and pins. Bone on this run is jigged Antique Amber. Fit and finish is typical GEC.....flawless. Blades are evenly ground with usable edges, clean polish throughout, backsprings are stout with great "walk & talk" on both ends, zero blade play on both, and not a gap to be found anywhere......

(http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/7709/gecamberfurtakermuskrat.jpg)

These guys up in Titusville know how to build a slippie!

And here's a couple pics of it with it's brother, a #53 pattern Furtaker Trapper I picked up a while back when these were first released.......

(http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/7709/gecamberfurtakermuskrat.jpg)

I've said this many times before, and I hate sounding like a broken record but as much as I love Case knives and Queen Cutlery nobody right now can touch GEC when comes to the level of consistant F&F they put into their knives.

It came MIB and still covered in the factory lube which had gummed up and turned hard from years of storage. It was a PITA to get cleaned up.

Not sure exactly how old it is, but judging by the tang stamps it's either from the 70's or 80's. I am leaning towards the 80's.

 :D :D

Well first thing to tell you is I haven't got it anymore. It went over to your side of the pond in a trade with Ashley. Generic Sheffield stainless steel (think SAK type), big durable plastic handles (they're at least as deep as they are broad) and probably the strongest shoutiest backspring I've ever had.

To be honest it was a little big in the hand for me. Both blades are slippies (which I like) but I found myself favouring the traditional slippies for pocket carry, and when going hiking I was taking a fixed blade knife so the Ibberson just sat in a drawer. I don't know how Ash has found it in use. I know she really liked it when it landed but don't know how much work it has done since (or if she still has it)

It's a good no-frills user, but it just wasn't seeing daylight with me. I think I paid around £20-£25 GBP (EDIT around £10-£15) for it a few years ago. I'll see if I can find the link and drop you a PM through  :tu:

No problem :salute:

The prices you linked to are not bad at all. It would probably cost more for me to buy one for you and ship it over - so I'd go for it from them  :tu: They're both good honest workers that'll serve you well. Don't expect fantastic fit and finish, just expect them to do the job and do it well (and be easy to get really sharp too)

As an aside, if you can find the BAK (though I think that one's often called a British navy knife with the diamond pattern grip) by John Nowills or one of the other makers you might be happier than one by Joseph Rodgers as I've found them to be a little more hit and miss and occasionally a little spongey on the backspring - although that pattern tends to be a bit of a of a nail breaker traditionally, so it might work in your favour  ;)

Got these two in a week or so ago, new release from Case. The Bone is Clover Sawcut, good looking stuff. The two I got here from the series is the big 4 5/8" closed #546 Backpocket (end-capped) and the 3 7/8" closed #47 Stockman.

(http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/2732/casecloversawcutbackpoc.jpg)

(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/1722/casecloversawcutstockma.jpg)

The series is typical Case with Tru-Sharp stainless blades, nickle/silver bolsters and shield, and brass liners and pins. Everything mirror polished.

(http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/2732/casecloversawcutbackpoc.jpg)

(http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/1722/casecloversawcutstockma.jpg)

Fit and finish is pretty much excellent on both. Can't find a gap anywhere, no blade play, good backspring stoutness, sharp edges, backsprings all around remain flush with blades opened or closed. Only fault I can find on either is a small scratch on one of the pile side bolsters on the Stockman. Other than that both are rock solid and clean.

I really like the bone on this run. These pics were taken this morning and it's a bit overcast right now. It's a vibrant Green, really pops in the sunlight. Couldn't be happier with these two, just wish they did a larger #75 Stockman and a #94 Gunboat in this run.

Gareth, Sean, and nuphoria,

I agree, the bone looks real good on the Backpocket. I also like the fact that on this run of the Backpocket they capped it......I much prefer end-caps to bareheads.

And here's another one I got alongside those two Case pieces that I finally managed to get some pics of today. This one a Northwoods Indian River Jack. It's a simple equal-end pattern, very slim, and measures in at 3 3/4" closed. From my understanding these are built by Queen Cutlery with the blade Convexed by Bark River.

(http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/510/northwoodsbhindianriver.jpg)

(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/510/northwoodsbhindianriver.jpg)

(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/510/northwoodsbhindianriver.jpg)

Build on this one includes nickle/silver bolsters and shield, brass liners and pins, and a blade of ATS-34 stainless. My particular version here is scaled in smooth Buffalo Horn.....done just the way I like it!

(http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/504/northwoodsbhindianriverf.jpg)

Fit and finish is real good, but for the price could of been better in one area. It's a solid piece with decent backspring strength, not heavy but not light, real good middle of the road stoutness. Zero blade play and the backspring rests flush with blade opened or closed. The pins and shield are flush to the scale material and running your fingers over them you can just barely feel the shield, otherwise smooth as glass. Flawless mirror polish on the parts done as such. The edge is very sharp, not quite as scary sharp as some of my Bark Rivers, which I was expecting it to be. But it is one of the sharpest out of the box slippies I own.

The knife is gap free and solid in fit aside from a minor hairline gap in the backspring area.....

(http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/510/northwoodsbhindianriver.jpg)

.......up near the pivot end on the pile side between the liner and backspring. It's not affecting anything and is small, but for the price of this piece this should not be.

Otherwise it is a nice little slippy. Excellent blade steel paired with a great edge, it's a very pocketable piece and would make a nice EDC for those who prefer slimmer medium sized frames.

Got a couple new pieces in this past week and this is the first of those. Snagged from auction and got a great deal on it. Mint 2004 Case Brothers Gunboat Canoe.

(http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/6148/casebros2004chestnutgun.jpg)

Typical Case build with Tru-Sharp stainless blades, nickle/silver bolsters and shield, and brass liners and pins. Scales are "Russell" jigged Chestnut Bone. Production run of only 500 made, mine is #324 of that.......

(http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/910/casebros2004chestnutgunm.jpg)

Fit and finish is excellent. Polish is perfect, backsprings are stout, backsprings remain flush with blades opened or closed, sharp even ground edges, gap free fit, zero blade play, and came with all the goodies as from the factory......

(http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/6148/casebros2004chestnutgun.jpg)

And it's my favorite pattern with some real good looking bone........

It's a USA made Marble's EZ-Open Jack built in 2001.

(http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/7131/marblesusa2001blueezope.jpg)

It's 3 3/4" closed with polished 1095 carbon steel blades, nickle/silver bolsters and shield, brass liners and pins, and some beautiful jigged Blue Bone scales........

(http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/7131/marblesusa2001blueezope.jpg)

F&F is excellent as well with sharp even ground edges, flawless mirror polish, good backspring stoutness and they remain flush with blades opened or closed, zero blade play, and near gap-free fit overall. The only fault I could find are some real faint gaps in the backspring area. Very fine and hard to see......

(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/7131/marblesusa2001blueezope.jpg)

Nothing major at all and aside from that a very well built slippie. As mentioned this is a earlier American made piece, and if memory serves these were done by Queen. Cost me a bit, but these 2001 models are getting to be rather rare to come across. And while you can still find some of the later versions they too are a bit pricey. As I had none of these in my collection and have been wanting to get some, this one proved to be a excellent first addition to my collection.

Post by: 2xTap on October 01, 2011, 11:33:07 PM
nuphoria,

On end-caps, for most patterns I prefer the look. As well as the durability......bareheads give little protection to scale material. Much easier to get a pin crack on a barehead.

As to where I get these, the green bone Case's I snagged from http://www.soonerstateknives.com/index.html (http://www.soonerstateknives.com/index.html), the Case Brothers Gunboat and the Marble's I got from James Parker, known as "silverladdie" on Ebay.....http://www.ebay.com/sch/silverladdie/m.html?_trkparms=65%253A1%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A1&rt=nc&_ipg=&_sc=1&_sticky=1&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_sop=10&_sc=1 (http://www.ebay.com/sch/silverladdie/m.html?_trkparms=65%253A1%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A1&rt=nc&_ipg=&_sc=1&_sticky=1&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_sop=10&_sc=1)

The pins and shield are flush to the scale material and running your fingers over them you can just barely feel the shield, otherwise smooth as glass. Flawless mirror polish on the parts done as such. The edge is very sharp, not quite as scary sharp as some of my Bark Rivers, which I was expecting it to be. But it is one of the sharpest out of the box slippies I own.

The knife is gap free and solid in fit aside from a minor hairline gap in the backspring area.....

(http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/510/northwoodsbhindianriver.jpg)

.......up near the pivot end on the pile side between the liner and backspring. It's not affecting anything and is small, but for the price of this piece this should not be.

Otherwise it is a nice little slippy. Excellent blade steel paired with a great edge, it's a very pocketable piece and would make a nice EDC for those who prefer slimmer medium sized frames.

I love this Indian River Jack, I had one a while back and have always kicked myself for getting rid of it.

 Lloyd custom slipjoint. This is one of his earlier knives so fit and finish is not where his knives are now but still a great knife. I am not sure what you would call it is very unique this pattern.

Just arrived yesterday afternoon. While I do own several I can't say I have ever been a real big fan of the Barlow pattern. All the ones I own have been ones that caught my eye for very specific reasons. This one is no different.

(http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/9214/robeson2007redstagboneb.jpg)

(http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/9214/robeson2007redstagboneb.jpg)

It's a 2007 production Robeson Mastercraft Barlow in Red Stag Bone and measures in at 3 7/16" closed. It's Queen Cutlery built and very well made.

The blades are mirror polished 420HC stainless with the appropriate Mastercraft blade etch and both blades sport Robeson ShurEdge tang stamps. Bolsters are nickle/silver with brass pins and liners. Scales are Stag Bone dyed in a nice deep Red.

(http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/9214/robeson2007redstagboneb.jpg)

Fit and finish is as good as the piece looks. Blades have even ground edges that are user sharp, flawless mirror polish throughout, real good backspring tension and the springs remain flush with blades opened or closed, zero blade play anywhere, and virtually gap free fit throughout.

(http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/9214/robeson2007redstagboneb.jpg)

A real nice little piece, and I really like the big RCC engraving on the mark side bolster, gives it a bit of that old world look and feel.

Couldn't be happier!

Im qurious, what is the connection (if any exist) between Zippo and Case knives??

I think I saw somewhere that they are same company (which I doubt), and saw some combos Zippo + Case slipjoint packs. They do look nice together, especially brass Zippo and Case knife...

So, any info on this??

Oh, and I'd really like to know who's who in slippie world... So to compare who's LM, Gerber, SOG, Vic....  :D :D :D

edcgear,

Ok........as far as Case and Zippo go, Zippo owns W.R. Case & Sons.

As to the who's who in the slippie world, that is going to take some serious explaining. Currently the big names for USA made slippies are Case, Queen Cutlery, Great Eastern Cutlery, Buck, Canal Street Cutlery, Bear & Son, and Utica.

That being said there are a number of other brands of slippies that are American made but not made by the brands they are marked with. Here are a bunch of those:

Scahtt & Morgan..........made by Queen Cutlery
Robeson..........made by Queen Cutlery
MooreMaker..........made by Queen, Utica, and Bear & Son
Bulldog USA..........made by Queen and Great Eastern
Colonel Coon..........made by Queen
Kabar Dog's head..........made by Canal Street Cutlery
Tuna Valley..........made by Great Eastern
Cripple Creek..........made by Queen and Great Eastern
Northwoods Knives..........made by Queen
Scagel..........made by Queen and Great Eastern
Winchester...........(recently introduced USA made line, looks to be Queen built)
Bradford Cutlery..........made by Great Eastern
Titusville Cutlery..........made by Queen
Remington USA..........made by Bear & Son

And there is a few others I can't think of at the moment.

There are also some real good German brands as well. These include Bulldog Brand Cutlery, Weidmannsheil, Fightin' Rooster, Boker, Hen & Rooster, Buck Creek, and Carl Schleiper/German Eye.

All that being said, the most collected of the bunch is still Case. Queen Cutlery operates the oldest continually running knife factory in the USA, Queen builds their knives in the original Schatt & Morgan plant which has been running since 1895. Of all of them, import or domestic....and they are all good....the best built with the most consistant level of overall quality is the Great Easterns. The widest selection of handle materials and patterns you'll find is with Case. But pattern to pattern I find some of the best designs are with Queen Cutlery.

I can go on and on with this, but for the quick run-down I'll stop here.

Thanks 2xTap! It is a sweet little knife. For my next one, I'm thinking of one of two that were in the same case as that, er, Case-A chrome vanadium stockman that looks a lot like Gareth's in his above pic, and a gray bone muskrat. There was also a chrome vanadium large trapper, and......... :) We'll see what happens in the next few weeks.

I don't know about the Indian Heads or Kissing Crane......with Kissing Crane the patterns are far enough different, as is their finish, that I don't believe they are made by RR.

What do you think about Buck models stockman, whittler and others??

Personally, if I were to recommend a slipjoint to you, I would tell you to buy slips made by Great Eastern, Queen, or Case. By and large the best built but also some of the more expensive, although Stateside Case is quite affordable but their prices seem to skyrocket overseas.

As to the American made line of Buck slipjoints.....I have to say I have been long a fan of Buck knives. But in the recent past I have bought some of their newer slips and have been disappointed. I have two newer production 301 Stockmans that had a level of F&F that is below what their other knives are usually finished at. I have seen excellent examples of these so I know they make them this way, but I have been personally turned off of them since getting two bad examples in a row.

Buck makes good knives, and their price point is more than competitive......and the quality is there, so long as you get one built the way it should be. If you like them get one, it's more likely you'll get a properly built one than a "friday" knife.

That said, if you can find them and can afford it get a Case, especially if you can handle them before you buy. Pick out one you like, you can't go wrong with a Case. Same with Queen Cutlery, if you can get one swing one of their regular run line. Real tough steel in these as the blades are made from D2 Tool Steel. Or get one of their premium lines like a Schatt & Morgan.....superb knives. But if you want to really spoil yourself get a Great Eastern.

The one problem with Great Eastern is that they are built so tight and very rarely come with any flaw that your standards will change. Unless you've become accustomed to the occassional small imperfection some of the other brands can come with, getting a Great Eastern with their level of fit and finish will often times set the bar of quality so high that other makes seem to be subpar.

I have an Indian Head Canoe and it is identical (bone scales type, blades size/look/finish/etc, finish) to my RR Long Rifle canoe. Apart from the shield and the blade writting

They are the 3rd and 4th knife in this picture (I have posted this before but I do not have any other picture of them together)

As for kissing crane, I remember reading somewhere they are made by RR...

I only have one picture of a Chinese Kissing Crane knife, (with some RR and Buck toothpicks) a two blade toothpick (not sure about the name) It is the 4th from the top and the blade and shape is quite similar to the RR in the picture, but I have not seen  an identical RR model.

(http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/7524/caseclassicsmoothcarame.jpg)

It measures in at 4 3/8" closed. Blades are polished 1095 with nickle/silver shield and bolsters as well as brass liners and pins. This is one of many patterns in the original Case Classic runs that was actually made by Queen Cutlery. I love this pattern of Stockman.

Fit and finish is great with gap free fit, stout backsprings that remain flush with blades opened or closed, evenly ground blades with sharp edges, and excellent mirror polish throughout......

I got these vintage USA made knives.(unknown age)
I am really impressed by how new they feel.
Really decent springs, perfect opening and closing no blade wobble, good fit and finish that shows that someone actually took a good look at them before they left the factory (they are not premium knives and do not pretend to be; they all have composite handles). They are better finished than my standard RR knives which are pretty decent knives themselves.

From the top:
Schrade made Stockman Master Mechanic 108 (It is saddening to see what is sold as Schrade nowdays...)
Camillus Stockman 77
CAMCO (camillus) 572

I also think it is funny that this knife appeared to have been handed out by a PTA, probably to pupils...

dks,

Nice ones bud. I like that Camillus. Yeah, the Schrade of today is a joke compared to what it use to be. Same with Camillus.....these idiots that buy up these great American names just end up screwing the pooch in the long run.

Thankfully there are others out there that brought back defunct brands and are having them made the way they should be, and in some cases likely better than they were. You want to really get blown away by quality, save your pennies and get yourself a Northfield from Great Eastern Cutlery. Now there is a brand being made as good, if not better, than they were 100 years ago.

I am thinking about it and have for some time but I usually end up buying a couple of cheaper knives for the same money. The problem is not so much the cost as the fact that for that money I would like to be able to select the knife myself. I have in the past had to sent knives back because I did not like the way they looked and usually insist on seeing several pictures of available knives before deciding which one to buy, but unless you actually have it in your hands it is difficult to just part with the money and hope for the best. With mass produced products, like multitools you usually get the product you expect and all same model products look 99% the same.
With slipjoints you have to think about colour of scales, fit, spring tension, look of scales etc..
One day, when I find a shop, for sure!

after collecting knives for a year, I'm starting to accept that just about every slightly upmarket knife that I buy will have some sort of flaw - gaps in the backsprings, blade not centred. It makes me happy when I occasionally get something perfect. I would like to get a few american slipjoints, I can't see them in shops here, so I'll just have to buy according to reputation, and my impressions from reviews on forums.

Post by: 2xTap on November 18, 2011, 04:17:47 PM
dks,

I know what you mean bud, the problem with companies like Great Eastern is that they are small so they don't have many actual shops that sell their products. Nearly all of their sales are on-line. Also, all their runs of knives are very short run production.....so they don't make large quantities, which allows them to maintain a high level of quality control.

With Great Eastern you don't have to worry, their focus is on building knives the way they use to be built. In a few short years they have become the standard of quality that many use to judge others by. Right now, no production company builds consistantly knives to the level of quality that GEC does.

They are that good, but for that quality they ain't exactly cheap either. So I do understand where you are coming from. It is not easy to throw down a good chunk of cash on something you can't actually see in person and handle first before you buy.

Inherited a tiny Richards shefield penknife, from the UK

And got a new Higonokami. This is supposedly made by the only remaining licensed maker in Japan.

from the seller:

"Kanekoma Nagao Higonokami assort Est.1894♦
The most famous Japanese traditional pocket knives.
What Nagao produced is only genuine HIGONOKAMI.
Higonokami is his registered trade mark in Japan.
JUST Nagao produced is called as HIGONOKAMI in japan.
You know there are many imitation.
Sir. Motosuke Nagao is 4th generation of Kanekoma factory.

There are featured Higonokami regular products.  Please select from them.
"
I choose the fancier version in the largest 120mm(tactical  :D ) version

I allready had a smaller one made by a different maker, in supposedly, lesser steel and quality(HITACHI YASUKI STEEL)

They are both in carbon steel.
My newer one apart from the difference in steel and handle metal has a secondary bevel.

Shown together with their packaging, which I have no idea what it says.

The CF Soddie Jr. will be in "As Ground" stainless......essentially brush finished Tru-Sharp stainless.

ALSO........Great Eastern is going to be producing a Soddie. They already did a short test run of a sorts on them. Here's a pic of those, these were done in Orange Delrin with O1 Tool Steel:

(http://collectorknives.info/simplemachinesforum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=374.0;attach=430;image)

It's a big #40 pattern Stockman at 4 3/8" closed. These were made by Queen Cutlery for this run of Case Classics. The scales on this are Smooth Honeybone....

(http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/4674/caseclassichoneybonesto.jpg)

This one was produced in in 1997 and is serial #0623.......

Blades are mirror polished 1095, swedged and sports a long pull master. Bolsters and shield are nickle/silver with brass liners and pins. Fit and finish is excellent.....

It's a Camillus-built Remington R103 Ranch Hand Bullet Knife from 1999. It's 3 1/2" closed Jack pattern with brush finished 440A stainless blades, nickle/silver bolsters and shield, brass liners and pins, and jigged Brown Delrin scales. Blades are swedged and the mainblade has a long pull, and both have nice sharp edges....

Fit and finish is real good and virtually seamless.........

Following the theme here of Jack Knives, next up is a Robeson.........

(http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/458/robesonsawcutbonebarlow.jpg)

(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/458/robesonsawcutbonebarlow.jpg)

A Robeson Mastercraft Barlow to be exact. This is Queen built with a manufacture date of 2007. It sits in at 3 3/8" closed. Blades are mirror polished 420HC with a long pull master Clip that is swedged. Stamped bolsters are nickle/silver, and the pins and liners are brass. Scales are Sawcut Amber Bone.....

(http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/458/robesonsawcutbonebarlow.jpg)

Fit and finish is excellent with stout backsprings, sharp edges, zero blade play, backsprings rest flush with blades opened or closed, and all that good stuff......

(http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/458/robesonsawcutbonebarlow.jpg)

.......but there is a faint hairline gap on the pivot end between the secondary blade's backspring and the outside liner. Nothing big and not affecting anything, but it is there. Outside of that it's a sweet Barlow, and I really like that they stamped both bolsters on this one.

(http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/423/robesonvenetiangreensle.jpg)

Not really a pattern I am into, especially at this size. But it is a Robeson and I got it for a song. The pattern is a Sleeveboard, but it is small at 3 3/8" closed. More of a Pen Knife really, and with a single backspring it is very slender and thin. It's Mastercraft branded with polished 420HC blades that are nicely swedged, fancy bolsters and shield of nickle/silver, brass liners and pins, and scales of Green Venetian Jigged Bone.

It's a good looking little slippie, and at it's size would disappear in any pocket........

(http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/423/robesonvenetiangreensle.jpg)

Fit and finish is excellent, and for such a small pattern it has some hefty backsprings........

(http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/423/robesonvenetiangreensle.jpg)

Not really of any pattern I collect, but of a brand and make I do. And for the price couldn't beat it.

It's 3 1/2" closed and barehead. Blades are polished 1095 carbon steel fully swedged with a long pull master. Bolsters are grooved and pinched and made from nickle/silver, as is the pinned on shield. Liners and pins are brass, and the scales are Spring Green Jigged Bone.....

I'm Glad You Like Them Tom.
And I Oiled Them And Stuff And Cleaned Them Up Before I Sent Them.
I'm Not Sure How To Get The Spots Off. If You Even Can.
They're Both Sharp And Ready For EDC.
But Would Make Awesome Pieces In A Collection As Well.

Good looking Sowbelly, I really like the bone on that one. How's the fit & finish on yours?

Now that the pattern is out of the vault I need to get me some of these new ones. Years ago I started getting into Case's Sowbelly pattern and picked up a few......

I know what you mean.  I forced a patina on my Sodbuster Jr and large Trapper, but have left my Mini Trapper and Texas Jack alone.  The Mini sees a lot of use at work, and is starting to turn nicely.  :)

my new GEC #73 linerlock with blue bone arrived today. It will lie perfectly camoflauged in my blue jeans pocket.  I'm really happy with it overall, there is only one rather  :facepalm: problem , which you can see in a close up - the blade rides a bit proud. It makes no difference, as it doesn't hurt when you run your finger over it, but still a bit annoying. Also my schrade mini linerlock, I got this a couple of weeks ago, but the grind was all wonky, so yesterday I reprofiled it to 30 degrees, now its a dangerous little bugger.

the blade rides a bit proud. It makes no difference, as it doesn't hurt when you run your finger over it, but still a bit annoying.

That is the problem of buying these knives unseen, over the internet, as I have found out too. Their reputation blinds you.

You could sent it back for a replacement, as the knife point sticks out quite a bit and at some point it will catch a thread etc and cause damage. (See BF too for a similar problem)

Or, you could try to file down the Kick of the knife a bit, to lower it.
(http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/informative_pictures/terminology%20pics/blade_parts.jpg)


Or, as someone told me once "You can always send the knife on to me if that would make things better   :salute: "    >:D

thanks for the advice,  :tu:, I'll give it a go, I checked out BF's advice on filing kicks. since I have all the sandpaper and ducttape here that I use for the reprofiling - which is something I'll have to do as well, looks like the blade has a very broad edge.
...I should have known that comment would come back to haunt me.  :-X

Makes you wonder why the GEC workers did not fix it since it was easy to see and easy to fix..

I have a Colt peanut witch need to have its kick filed.
I tried once and gave up after nearly scratching the whole knife.. Maybe i will try again, if it is easy.
Title: Re: Show your slip joint's thread!
Post by: Jmora on April 07, 2012, 10:50:01 PM
true, it is a pretty obvious QC issue.
I used 600 Grit sandpaper, taped it to the top of a wooden cupboard, I covered the blade and bolsters with ducttape, so there would be no scratches, and then worked very lightly, checking every 10 passes to see what progress I was making. I worked out that if I wanted to sink the blade tip by about 1mm, I would need to take about 0.15 mm off the kick. Obviously I can't measure it exactly, but that just helped me to appreciate how little I should take off, I really didn't want the nightmare situation of doing too much, and having the blade hitting the backspring. I think it took around 100-150 strokes.

Two pointy beauties arrived today.  First up is this Imperial scout pattern with a sheepsfoot main blade, shown here with its' cousin, also an Imperial, who was drafted.  :)
(http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g448/Jerseydevil379/DSCF0595.jpg)

Nice snap to it, would love to find out more about it.  Next up, an American classic-the Buck 301.

(http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g448/Jerseydevil379/DSCF0598.jpg)

Ohhh, man, how have I never owned one of these?  Well, honestly, I've carried it's Chinese relative the 373 a lot.  But I love the lines of this knife.  One tiny gap in the backsprings, no effect on it.  Very snappy, great W&T.  I've heard some horror stories about US Bucks at times, sure unfounded if this is any indication.  This is my first US Buck slippie, BTW.  Won't be my last!  Sorry for the blurry pics, caffeine withdrawal.  :) And, of course, the camera just died.  Both will get separate write-ups, I'm sure.

Got this today as a nice surprise.  A couple of weeks ago I'd referred a customer to a contractor, and the guy got the job.  Today he came into the store and handed me this as a thank you.  Very nice of him, he didn't have to do that.  We talk knives and tools all the time, his EDC is an MP600 which has seen a TON of use, and an old Case CV Sodbuster, the big one.
(http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g448/Jerseydevil379/DSCF0650.jpg)
(http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g448/Jerseydevil379/DSCF0651.jpg)

Case CV Slimline Trapper.  4 1/8", 3 1/4 blade.  Very light and handy, it carries very nicely for a decent sized knife.  F&F are perfect, not a gap or blemish to be found.  I don't give out guys' names looking for something in return, so this was a very nice and unexpected gesture on his part.  If anyone in North Jersey needs their house painted, contact me, and let's see what I get next.  :D

(http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g448/Jerseydevil379/DSCF0705.jpg)

This is a massive slipjoint!  It's around 4" long, and 1/2" thick.  The blades are equally big and solid.  It's a heavy sucker, heavier than my Buck 301 for sure.  The handles are ebony, and the nickel silver bolsters and liners stand out very nicely against them.  The fit and finish is perfect, and the blades open with a very satisfying snap.  This is my first Queen, and I love it!

I think it's going to see some use.  It's too nice to let it sit hidden..... It's not going to be a work knife, that's for sure.  I'd be horrified if I got some paint or solvent all over it.  For casual carry though, It'll be in my pocket.  :tu:  In fact, it's there now.....

GEC Tidioute Patriot Barlow.  The reverse of the blade is marked "1 of 50" , and the bolster is etched with an "03".  Came new in the tube with a certificate showing a manufacture date of July '08.  VERY pretty.  Before this sees any pocket time I'm going to have to find myself a pocket sheath.

What a pretty little knife!  I like the wharncliffe main.  Fits nice in my hand, though a bit smaller than I thought.  It's a bit smaller than even my Texas Jack, but has plenty of blade for EDC.  The color of the bone is beautiful too.

its a great little knife  :drool:, I have mine in my pocket right now. The bone has such a great depth of colour, and once the blade gets a bit of patina to it, the colour combinations look even cooler.

btw, does your SBJack appear to also have a pinned shield? I could be wrong, because from the outside the shield looks like the standard plastic looking inlaid one, but there is a definite welding spot on hte liners underneath the shield on mine.

I got this A G Russell sodbuster (or 'rancher') today. its in black micarta or rucarta. finish on it is perfect, and the snap on it is also perfect, it opens completely smoothly, and is completely solid in the open position, then as you close it, it is like it is being sucked back into the scales, if that makes sense. Same price as a case sodbuster, very good value for money.

Early day yet Tom, but my first impressions are HERE (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,38663.0.html). I carried it at work today and almost forgot I had it. Quite light for such a large blade. Certainly going to be seeing some use from me, though the large size is no very people friendly so I'll need to be careful where I carry it

Yes, Böker, made in Germany. The inlaind metal stamp on them contains the tree symbol with "Solingen" underneath. "Böker" and the tree symbol appears also stamped on the blade tangs. I think they are still in production, current models. As I said, nothing special other than personally I like them. There are some more expensive variants of this model in MOP, Micarta, Tuya wood, with Damascus style steel, even was a limited series with petrified dinosaur bone handles (or at least claimed to be this). Yes, they do not are slipjoints in the true :cry: Solo:

My latest slippies.  The two orange Micarta ones are Case, the Stockman's main blade is marked "first production run".  That didn't stop it from seeing a lot of use today at the store.  :)  The other two mini toothpicks are Rough Riders, one in red bone, the other in Midnight Swirl.  Despite their tiny size, I like the toothpick pattern.  Seems like it would be a great sheeple friendly penknife.

A couple humble slipjoints from China. I've been carrying one or the other for a few months now. Some very odd features, such as the paintjob, but solid performers. I think they may be intended for the Chinese domestic market, as the aesthetics look petty alien to these American eyes. Construction is crude and weird, but functional. They can be had via mail order from HK very inexpensively. Best of all, they suit me quite well. They pocket very easily, have thin blades, take and hold a decent edge.

I ordered the orange one before I realised they had a "glow" version too; just saw it and went for it.
They are the same price, so they are not trying to cheat people by charging more, like some Swiss makers may do...  :whistle:

Rust makes me stronger!!  :viking:

Before using it it was washed in an ultrasonic cleaner (any germs should have exploded then) sprayed with WD40 to clean the pivot areas, washed with hot water and soap with the help of a toothbrush, and the blade was cleaned with alcohol. I cleaned some of the rust/patina using Brasso and sandpaper but I did not remove all of the  "colour" to make it shiny; there was no real pitting, just some surface black spots.
After using it a new bluish patina is forming. Usually the most germs should be hidden in the handles/covers, especially on wooden ones. Mine uses derlin so hopefully not a lot of germs will be hidding in them.

It sure is a little sucker, but that's exactly what I was looking for - something I can forget about in my pocket but would be there to handle cutting chores in certain situations.  Customers don't appreciate large folders the same way I do.....  ::)  Nice snap to it, no gaps, very nice little knife!

I always liked the yellow, no nonsense look of Case XX handles.
Be careful as these small blades have a very powerful snap..

Yeah I've noticed!  Hasn't gotten me yet, but it's trying..... I also like the yellow, simple but classic.  Other companies just don't do that yellow quite as well IMO, most I've seen are just too bright, trying to match the Case but not getting the shade just right.

I agree about the snap on the Case Peanut's blades.  I've had one for about two years and although it doesn't see enough use time really, I've carried and used it enough to know that while the Peanut may be small, it needs to be treated with some respect.  I'd say the thing has a stonger snap than my GEC Barlow, which has a pretty forceful snap in its own right.  However, once you've got either of the Peanut's blades open, they don't feel like they're going to close on you.

The big boy is a Case pattern #54 Trapper in CV.  The smaller one is a pattern #07 mini trapper, stainless and red bone.  Both pretty knives, got a great price on them too.  :tu:  Still, the only slipjoint I've carried for a week now is the Peanut I got last Wednesday.  Seven straight days carrying the same knife is a bit odd for me!  :sa:

Here's a couple of mine. A Woodsman, Old Timer, Moore and a no name.

The Old Timer my daughter found on the way to school 13 years ago. She hid it under a rock and got it on her way home to bring to me. Good girl, huh?¿? That knife has seen better days and don't get used much.

I got the Woodsman on a trip we took to Branson last year. It came with the hand carved case in the picture.

The Moore was given to me on a fishing trip I was on a couple years ago with a group called Reel Thanx. They take wounded military on fishing trips to Lake Amistad. Pretty good group of folks. Some of them were involved in the accident in Midland, TX that involved the trailer that was hit by the train.

The silver one, I have no idea where it came from. I chalk that one up to my TBI.

Got this from my Mom for Christmas.  All I told her was that I'd like something from Case with CV blades and bone scales.  She certainly has good taste.  :)

(http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g448/Jerseydevil379/DSCF1336.jpg)

Case 62032CV small Texas Jack in amber bone.  Such a pretty slippie!  I'd had one at one point, and it was traded.  I don't intend for this one to go anywhere though.  Great snap, no blade play or gaps at all.  This is going to see a fair bit of pocket time and indeed saw a lot of use Sunday and  today opening gifts.  Thanks Ma!  :tu:

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

(http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g448/Jerseydevil379/DSCF1358.jpg)

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.....

(http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g448/Jerseydevil379/DSCF1359.jpg)

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.

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.

US Army issue "Demo" knife, made by Camillus in 1992.  It may not be quite as refined as an Alox Soldier or SI, but it's still built like a tank.  The blade on this is nice and sharp, and just for Terry, the W&T is excellent, the F&F is very good, and for breakfast I had a THE&C W/SPK.  ;)

Yep, Terry, that's a new one to me.  I have an Imperial-made one from 1961, same knife except the screwdriver/bottle opender has a thumb stud.  The Camillus ones are considered by some to be the "true" demo knives, kind of a Veic/Wenger thing.  :)  It's a nice knife, and in my pocket today for a workout at the store.  :tu:  BTW, those extra acronyms at the end there are deli shorthand for a Taylor ham egg and cheese with salt pepper and ketchup.  ;)

Fnally got one of the wooden scaled Chinese Bucks.
A 375.

(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/IMG_3905.jpg)

Tiny, think Peanut size blades.Two blades, each with its own backspring.

Here it is next to a Buck Mini toothpick

and some other small objects

Ain't that the truth. I must have used mine at least a dozen times today. For small tasks I would not have pulled out a 4"+ folder for, especially in public (had to open small package of salad dressings in a restaurant). I carry a little slippy with me just about everywhere but bed I think, haven't found a use for it there yet.  ;)

You're just not trying hard enough.  ;)  I use my traditionals in the same way, for when I don't want to pull out my larger folder around people.  They see a lot of use in that role.  :tu:

It is a hobby really.
I can do 99.9% of my cutting tasks with the Mini toothpick but still like to have bigger and different knives to carry.

The 375 reminds me of the small Schrades of past.
Really nice snap, good finish but a bit too small to use. Also it is a bit round so you cannot get  (well, I cannot) a good grip on it and feels like it will turn round if you twist it / push it a bit whilst cutting.

It was bought used as the new prices are too high for what you get. Like all used knives with wooden scales it had a smell like someone had it in a kitchen for 10 years...

So i gave it a wash and oiled the knife and the scales to make it look and smell nice.

I also feel safer using the lockers rather than a slippy. I had my Swiss Champ main blade fold in on the end of my thumb years ago while I was using it to bore a hole in a plastic buckle :think: :ahhh  :ahhh Hurt a bit :think: I still don't know why I wasn't using the awl :think:  :twak: :twak: :twak: One of those DA moments of mine :think:  :facepalm:

Same here.  I've taken a real liking to the toothpick pattern lately.  I got a Case one in CV for Christmas and it's been getting a lot of carry time, tucked in the 5th pocket of my jeans, patiently waiting for its time to shine.  :)  As to the older small Schrades, I have a Minuteman that is also a nice little knife, if a bit on the too small end of the spectrum.  Carbon steel though.....

My latest, a Rough Rider electrician's knife that arrived today.

(http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g448/Jerseydevil379/DSCF1423.jpg)

As seems to be the norm for RR's, it's well put together, no blade play.  The screwdriver/wire stripper blade is liner locking.  The ruler markings on the blade are actually etched in, not an onlay.  Pretty neat knife.  :tu:

I've seen them, they're on the list.....  :)  I've owned a number of Rough Riders and I've been very happy with their quality.  I've owned and used Case, Buck, GEC, Queen, and other companies'  knives, but one of my favorite slipjoints is a red bone handled RR Barlow.  It's just about perfectly put together, the walk and talk are great, and it's just one pretty knife.  :tu:

That's a good way to describe it.  :tu:  How's the F&F, W&T, etc? 

Today a package from Sazabi arrived with not one, but two Camillus TL-29s!  The blades are marked "Camillus New York USA" .  I think the blades are carbon steel, at least the main is.  Not too sure about the driver/stripper blade.  There is a patina on the spearpoint on both of these.  They are very solid, not nailbreakers but firm.  The brass liner lock on both is nice and solid as well, the screwdriver locks up nicely.  Overall two nice examples of a neat pattern.  If anyone can direct me to somewhere that might have dating info, I'd appreciate it.  :tu:

At the top is a US made Imperial Barlow.  Nothing special, but I got it because it's identical to the knife my father still carries, and is also identical to my first pocket knife, which I got because I wanted one just like Dad's.  :)  At the bottom is my new Case Peanut in CV.  This is my second one of these.  The first I traded, but I missed it.  Such a sweet little knife.  This one's not leaving (did you hear that, Nelson?  :P ).

I sure think they are.  I've owned a couple.  Still have one, have given or traded away the others.  All of them have been solid, well-made little knives.  RR makes a couple of different sizes of them in both single and double blade form.  I see them as carrying on the tradition of the old US made Imperials, Schrades, and Camillus Barlows-nothing fancy, but solid knives you can work hard without any problems.  :tu:

Case 3318CV medium stockman.  3 5/8" long, love the rounded bolsters.  Great snap, no gaps, though the grind on the sheepsfoot is a bit off.  Easy fix though whenever I get around to it.  Doesn't affect performance at all, I was using it as a box cutter all day today.  :tu:

Very cool.  :salute:  Here are my latest, pleasant surprises from across the pond.  :)

(http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g448/Jerseydevil379/DSCF1650_zps07825516.jpg)

The Stockman is a US made Remington with carbon steel blades.  Lovely knife.  The inlay is neat as well, the old Remington autoloading cartridge.  It's either a .25 Remington or .30 Remington, both cartridges that are well over a hundred years old now.  Nice that this is back on the left side of the Atlantic where it was born.  :)  The other one is the immigrant, made by Rodgers of Sheffield.  Very well put together, but it has one issue-when closed, the small blade almost completely obscures the nick on the large blade!  :facepalm:  Now you know why it was sent my way....  ;)  Might be time to get the Dremel out.  Still, a big thanks to 50-ft Trad!  :salute:

This was given to me as a gift, one of those presents "for the man who has/buys all the knives he needs or wants" things and admittedly I did not have anything similar.

These are sold bu a New Zealand company, pylones.

It feels nice, well finished though the blade is plain and cheap, as the handle is where the money is.

It's been a while since a got a new slip-joint, but I picked this up as a little souvenir from my holiday to Madrid. :)  Cudeman isn't the biggest name in the knife making business, but I've got a couple of their other knives and I have had no complaints.

Post by: AimlessWanderer on July 17, 2013, 03:19:04 AM
You'll probably find there's a Nieto and maybe Andujar equivalent too. A lot of the Spanish knives share common patterns, just as there tends to be common Sheffield or Solingen stuff across a range of manufacturers. Makes it easy to buy in a crate load of stamped blanks off someone nearby if your dies wear out or the press breaks down  ;)

I was on a D2 - man made material mood a few days ago so this arrived today:

(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/IMG_6282.jpg)

Queen 51 Trapper with D2 and Derlin.
Note that this model is also available with 1095 steel for about the same money (Why?). This is a proper Queen, not a Queen City model.

This is one of a short run of just 36 knives made in December of 2012.  Winterbottom Carved Delrin Handle, Nickel Steel Bolsters, Brass Liners.

These were made just before the company changed owners and I was worried a bit about how bad it would be.
The blades had a bit of burr on them, which I removed, but the finish, walk and talk is very good. The springs align well with the liners in all positions.
While we're on the subject it has half-stops on both blades.

Price wise it is a bargain as at $38 it is about the same as a Country Cousin but looks and feels like a much better knife. If it said GEC on it I would not have been surprised. Feels and looks like a Hen and Rooster - Rough Rider combination with GEC solidity. The derlin is nicely finished and looks “real”. What looks like gaps at the edges is just black derlin edges.

It is one of only 36 made, so it may be considered a collectable too. I intend to use it.

I'll correct myself a little here and say that it's actually just a touch under 3 1/2" long.  Always better to actually measure things rather than just guess. :whistle:

Case xx Trapper in G10

I know it is man made but it is one of the sexiest handles I have seen on a slipjoint.

I got it when I was going through a man-made scales phase and it is supposed to be a user.
Sleek looking but grippy and traditional; like  the next step up from the black derlin scales you find on Bucks.
I bought it as "mint / new" but I have a suspicion that it was sharpened using an electric sharpener. Case xx grinds are not always perfect and can be rough on occasion but something does not seem right with this knife. I will probably correct the edge, though the sprey blade one looks a bit too worn down near the tang for a new knife.

Title: Re: Show your slip joint's thread!
Post by: dks on July 29, 2013, 12:46:43 PM
Thanks to all for the comments.
The blade has now been sharpened and polished so it looks nicer and cuts well. (went for a fine edge with a small secondary bevel) I told the seller about the blade, to help him to keep an eye on this issue in the future. He offered to take it back, if I wanted to.

The main problem seems to be the weight as having two large blades and a metal frame means you "feel" it in your pocket. A single blade G10 version may have been better for everyday carry.
However, after a bit, especially if you carry a phone, wallet, torch etc. with you too you tend not to notice it. I wear shorts a lot so I may feel the weight increase more than most.
...and every time you take it out you admire the looks of it and smile, which is the main factor that led me to buy it. (the smaller Queen I got a few days earlier is easier to carry but does not look so flashy and it is not as stainless as I need it  currently.)

Case pen knife, pattern 32087CV.  Lovely little knife.  3 3/8" long, a nice sized clip blade and a good little pen blade for finer work.  Only one spring, so it disappears into your pocket, very slim.  And of course, the classic yellow handles and carbon steel.  :tu:  No gaps, and excellent walk & talk.  This is a winner.

Classy. 8) Inherited ones?

sort of,  my father-in-law gave them to me, he knew I liked multitools, and I noticed them at his house, and said "Those are Case Knives, where did you get those?"  and he said, "you like knives too, take them, I have not used them since 1989."  I spent about 5 hours getting them into shape, and I still need to sharpen them, but they look much better.

the best part is I was born in 1977, so the small knife is my birth year knife

 :D  I actually have the identification page for Case from that site bookmarked.
http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/wr_case/

For Case knives, the first number is the handle material, the second is the number of blades, and the last two or three are the pattern.  The #75 was/is made in both 2 and three blade models.  The 92 has been made as a 2, 3, and 5 (!) bladed model.  The handles on your knives are bone BTW.  Jigged Delrin would have the same #, but no oval around the word Case.   Also, your 75 is a large Stockman.  A Muskrat would only have two blades.

Very nice, Detron.  :tu:  What are the model #'s on those?

the 1977 (smaller one) is 6392  http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/price_guide/wr_case_xx/knives-392.php

the 1982 (larger one) is 6375 http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/price_guide/search_handler.php
however the 6375 does not show up for that year, however, I do believe it is a Muskrat.

I am not a Case Knife expert,  I am a googleing crap expert though!   :rofl:

 :D  I actually have the identification page for Case from that site bookmarked.

sweet!  thanks for the info, and I had no idea that the numbers were actually denoting several things, that is a cool breakdown.  hell, I was amazed when I discovered how to tell what year!
they are cool knives, and they make me want a new case knife.  I really want this one

That abalone is pretty for sure.  Case knives are great.  I carry a slipjoint with me every day, and it's usually a Case.  My two favorites are the 3207CV and the 32087CV.  Quick, use the link I provided and figure out what they are.  :D

My most recent slippie, courtesy of Grathr.  Rough Rider Barlow.

It's everything I've come to expect from RR - good snap without being a nail breaker, good F&F.  Nice and sharp, and the color of the bone is lovely.  There's a slight gap between the main blade spring and the outside liner, but very minor, doesn't affect function at all.  I like Barlows as EDC slippies, and Rough Rider certainly makes a good one.  :tu:

A couple of old small ones I found at a flea market. The Vic Farmer is there for size comparison.
Bigger one has a blade and a nail file. It has a refence to a portuguese fertilizer company on one side and a pic of the goddess Ceres on the other.

Small one has a small screw/phillips driver, a bottle/can opener and a small blade.

I don't carry them, just like their look very much!

Buck 303, used (I was going to get a 301 but this popped up on eBay)
It appears to have been sharpened badly using a bench grinder, though for the price it was OK. I have now sharpened it properly. (that buck steel is harder than you think)

It is a very good size for EDC, with 3 thick blades. Light and solid, good walk and talk.

See the comparison with a RR stockman, with 2 instead of 3 springs and liners between the springs. The RR has thinner blades but size wise they are about the same.

I have been looking for a 301 for a good price, for some time. It is a seriously sexy tool.

I am sure that it will be too heavy to actually carry, for me. The 303 seems like a much more realistic carry option.

I did a bit of research on them, and apparently what you see there is actually the outside of a shell, unlike mother-of-pearl.  They grind down the outside and polish it to give that effect.  I've never seen one before, but now I want one.  :D

I tell you I LOVE it!  I paid $10 for it,  but I just think it is so nice!   I appreciate your digging,  I found the same answers,  but I did not see these for sell too much so I was not sure if they were limited editions or special runs.   I will have to do more research on it.

I have a bit of a soft spot for Schrade/Camillus  USA slipjoints so I got this, used, Uncle Henry 897UH medium stockman, SS, derlin handles.

The knife is used but unfortunately there is a large amount of side to side bladeplay on the main blade

Anybody know if it is possible to correct that? Can the bolsters be removed so that I can hit the pins with a hammer?  Should I just hit the bolsters or put them in a vice?

The knife is nice looking and otherwise looks to be in good condition.

Interestingly it one of the older serialised ones, with a serial number R6375 inside the liners.

I have an 897UH just like that one, as do many.  It was a very popular model for a long time!  Your "Staglon" looks much more natural than mine, though, and is obviously older with the serialized liner.

As to your query about tightening the pivots--you don't have to disassemble the knife to do it.  You can lay the knife on a hard surface such as a workbench, and "whack" it right at the pivot with a rawhide mallet.  Put something such as a thick towel or a magazine between the bolster and the bench, and between the bolster and the mallet.  Start with light taps and check tightness and walk-n-talk between each "whack".

Post by: dks on December 10, 2013, 08:58:37 PM
Many thanks. I was worried about bending the bolsters.

Here is some history, from Bladeforums:
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/571057-897UH-Questions


" Schrade 897UH Signature Premium Stockman

In July 2004, the one hundred year history of Imperial Schrade Corporation came to an end with the forced bankruptcy and October liquidation of assets. During those one hundred years, the name changed several times, as well as company ownership. Several other companies were acquired, sometimes operated in tandem, sometimes absorbed. Begun by George Schrade and his brothers, it evolved over the years into the posession and guidence of Albert and Henry Baer. Albert, ever the business genious, steered the company to expanded markets with new marketing techniques, and new products designed under the watchful eye of Henry, whose signiture would appear on an entire line of upscale folding and fixed blade knives for the last forty years of Schrade's existance. Alongside the now famous Old Timer line of knives, the Uncle Henry Signature knives formed the backbone of Schrade's offerings of knives and tools.

Few knives were as popular as the medium Stockman pattern, the 897UH. The 897UH Uncle Henry Signature Premium Stockman was introduced in the 1967 catalog for a whopping $10. This at a time when a comparable Old Timer was selling for just a bit more than half that amount, and a knife from the rival company, Colonial Knife Company could be bought for even less. Putting this into perspective, a gallon of gas cost 32 cents, a coca-cola was a dime, the average new home was around $20,000, and new cars started at around $2,000. Given these illustrations, ten dollars was not a paltry sum.

The 897UH stockman began production in the early sixties, several years before the 1967 catalog introduction. While stainless steel blades were used from the beginning, several different styles of delrin were tried for the handle material before settling on the faux stag Delrin, later known as "Staglon". Peach seed jigged bone looking Delrin was handsome and used a short while, and several different base Delrin and accent colors were tried. In later years, special limited editions were produced with special handle material, including a 95th anniversary edition.

The knife used the Schrade+ stainless steel three blade pattern that became popular with the 825, 895, 896K, 898, and 899UH. This blade material became a mainstay of the UH line of knives, both folders and fixed. In 1981, 197UH "Cat Paw" was introduced for a a run of a few short years using the familiar serpentine body and the single modified Turkish clip blade. It was one of the very few liner lock knives in the Uncle Henry product line, and a very interesting variation on the 897UH. Evidently the buying public was not swayed to purchase it over the other single blade offerings in the lockback and trapper lines and it was discontinued after a nine year run in 1989.

The 897UH had a closed length of 3 9/16" with a Turkish clip blade of 2 15/16", a 2 1/16" sheepfoot blade, and a 2" spey blade. This combination of blades mounted in the deeply textured serpentine Staglon handles proved to be extremely popular with knife users for more than thirty five years. It is both pleasant to hold and to look at with the nickle silver bolsters and Henry Baer signature shield, stainless blades, brass liners and pins, all mounted in a bi-color stag appearing handle.

With the closing of Imperial Schrade, quite a few variations of handle colors and materials have been seen on the market. Many, such as the burgundy micarta, blue jigged bone, etc. were found among the stock carted off from the factory at the asset auction in October of 2004. My conjecture is that these knives were intended for 100th Anniversary editions, as several have been spotted with the anniversary etch and shield. A few of the earlier "Buckskin" knives, both completed and uncompleted have shown up. These sport a tan Delrin base material and light brown accent color as opposed to the more familiar cream Delrin base and coco brown accent color. Quite a few 897UH's have appeared with dark coco colored scales. The ones I have examined seem to be normal cream base knives that simply did not receive the final scale buffing that smoothed the high points and ends revealing the cream base and flushing the scales with the shield, bolsters and pins.

Limited editions and special private editions of the 897UH seem to be relatively rare. All of the scrimshaw special edition sets I have seen used the larger framed clip blade 885UH stockman as the base knife. The same goes for the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation sets, and the Ducks Unlimited sets. One issue, the 95th Anniversary issue seems to be the diamond in the crown of special issues for the 897 pattern. Mounted on an engraved plexi pedestal on a round wooden base and enclosed with a clear glass dome, it is quite an impressive presentation. Bone handles, and a gold filled etched blade, sterling silver bolsters guild the lilly.

An 897 pattern was used on a Cigar Box Classics issue with red accented yellow bone handles and the classic arrowhead shield in place of the UH signature shield.

A "second cut" green bone stockman of this pattern with SCHRADE-WALDEN NY USA was produced.

This pattern was also used on a Orangewood handled Lewis and Clark anniversary edition. It had a bark canoe shaped shield, and came with a double picture of Lewis and Clark in miniature frame.

Recently, a few Ducks Unlimited editions have come on the market, but their embellishment seen so far is limited to a blade etch on production variety knives. Whether or not these were ever marketed, or were slated to be a 2004 release is a matter of conjecture at this point.

A set made for MATCO Tools in 1996 contained a 12UH Roadie, 285UH Pro Trapper, and 897UH Premium Signature Stockman in an attractive formed burgandy lined black leather grained gift box with Matco Tools, Schrade Cutlery logos and "1996 Uncle Henry Limited Edition Collector Series" in silver lettering on the cover. Matco Tools and the Matco eagle logo are etched on the clip blade of each knife.

It is no surprise, given the long association of Schrade with the retailing giant Sears, Roebuck & CO., that a contract stockman of the 897 pattern was produced for them. Only the shield and tangstamp changed from the regular production knives. These seem to be relatively uncommon on the market currently in any condition, and rare in mint state.

I have carried and used the 897UH knives for many years and I find no fault with them. I have never broken the delrin scales on one, though one or two had blade tips broken when a worker used them for screwdrivers or pryed with them. They are just the right size for pocket carry, an excellent compromise between the larger 885UH Senior, and the smaller 834 Rancher. The long nearly straight turkish clip blade is great for slicing, and the sheepfoot opens boxes and cuts tape well. The spey blade makes an excellent scraper to clean up cut pvc pipe or strip wire, and in a pinch makes a good skinner blade for small game.

I was dismayed when I found that Imperial Schrade had closed and would no longer be producing my favorite stockman, but thrilled to find the current glut on the market allowing me to buy all I could ever use and half or less of retail. The last listed MSRP of the 897UH was $39.45 in 2004, but I have found them new for ten dollars to twenty dollars, and the rarer new in the presentation box ones for under $40. Excellent used ones routinely fetch only ten or less, and while the supply will no doubt dry up before long, they are plentiful now. "

A buck 301. I bought a new boxed one as the used ones were selling for more than new ones. I had to get one based on the reputation they have as the king of big working stockmans.

The scales feel like really cheap, hard plastic (they should get better with use) and there was some grit in the joints.

Shown with the 303 for comparison.

As some may recall I got a schrade 897 UH a while back that had two loose blades.
They proved impossible to tighten, without taking it apart, thus I sent it back and got a refund.

Now it has been relisted with a small addition to the description:

"The main blade has a slight looseness from side to side"... 
Considering that the main blade, at the point, could be moved left to right sideways by over 2cm I would not call that slight..   :facepalm: 

oh, well, it will be someone elses problem now (or maybe they fixed it)

This is, I think, the only traditional style slip joint that I own.  However, I'm sure with the help of MTo that will change.  It's a Marbles small doctors knife:

"An indispensable knife of physicians long ago, the doctor’s pattern has a flat base to crush pills and a long thin spear blade to mix medicines and make deep lance cuts. Equipped with spear and spatula blades."

 :o  Don't worry, if anything needs lancing, I'll go to see my doctor!   :D

Very nice, Spatha.  :tu:  And just to be an enabler, if you're interested in trying out other traditionals, take a look at Rough Riders.  Lots of patterns to choose from, with decent quality and affordable prices.  If you find a pattern you really like, step up to a Case, Queen, etc.  Watch it though, if you're bit by the slippie bug, they can multiply as quickly as SAKs....  >:D

Taken from BF: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1128952-The-good-stuff%E2%80%A6-Delrin-amp-Stagalon/page2
Some information on Derlin

"Delrin is an acetal thermoplastic resin (PolyOxy-Methylene or POM) which has a semi-crystalline structure, is machinable, and possesses excellent strength and dimensional stability, high lubricity (low friction characteristics), and good wear resistance.
Dupont’s advent of Delrin came about from their post-WWII search for wider applications of their popular nylon. When Department director Frank McGrew and their chemists in the Polychemical department searching for a plastic replacement for metals first came across the formaldehyde derivative which we now know as “Delrin”, they named it “synthetic stone”. This was circa 1952. It took another four years of development to refine the process for production and in 1956 they were granted the patent for Delrin. Another four years and twenty million dollars was invested in a facility to manufacture Delrin, and in 1960 the plant in West Virginia opened and began large scale production with a twenty million pound annual capacity.
After a total fifty million dollar investment, Dupont cited patent disputes and competition for shallow profits on the material. Bad for Dupont, but a boon for the knife industry as Delrin quickly became a premier handle material for many companies, Schrade and Camillus included. Nearly fifty years later, Delrin is still an important material in the cutlery industry.
Along with the properties of Delrin already mentioned, another very important one exists which makes this plastic such a winner for knife handles. It can not only be colored as a base material, but it can be dyed after molding to add accent colors. This is what gives “Staglon” it’s stag appearance, and “Genuine sawcut Delrin” it’s sawn bone appearance.
After the Delrin handles are molded, sprues and gates (sometimes called runners) trimmed, they had to be dyed. Two heated dye tanks are used, one brown for OT covers, and an additional black for the UH covers. The tanks were heated to 180 degrees, far below the melt temperature of Delrin. but hot enough for the dye to penetrate the surface and set. I am not familiar enough with this particular dye to tell you what the color base material and mordant are, but most dyes (as with most paints) have mineral base ingredients. A mordant is a chemical (usually acid or alkali) which acts as a penetrating agent and carrier solution. Like the vinegar used with Easter egg dyes. In this case, it could well have another type of mordant.
The covers were dumped into the first dye vat and an operator stirred the parts every few minutes to prevent the parts from streaking from dry spots, and weakened dye, or contact with the vat. They also occasionally lifted some parts with the stir paddle to check the color. If the dye was fresh, time in the dye tank was about 25 minutes. When the dye was weakened from use, dying times were extended by the operator to compensate, until they judged the dye needed replacement.
This whole operation was dependent upon the judgement of the operator. When the parts reached the desired color, they were removed from the dye vat with a shovel and are placed in a basket in the rinse tank. After rinsing clean, the basket was lifted and drained, and the parts spread on a drying table. Ours in the machine shop are perforated stainless with reversible air flow for updraft heated air, or downdraft cool air, depending on the part.
At this point, the covers would be a uniform dark brown color. For the UH covers, they went from the brown dye (approx. 15 min, or until the proper reddish brown color is achieved) then to the rinse, then to the black dye tank for another 10 minutes or so, depending on dye strength. They were again rinsed, and went to the drying tables.
The fact that Delrin takes and holds dyes so well made the material a good substitute for celluloid handles of ad specialty knives also. A heated die was pressed onto the handle over a dye tape, scoring the handle and filling the impression with dye. In 1975, the resident Schrade artist, a very talented man by the name of Frank Giogianni, bored with the commercial art he created for packaging, logos, and commercial ad knives, presented Henry Baer for his consideration a cream Delrin handled scrimshaw knife of his own design. Baer enthusiastically approved and the commercial art became creative decorative art and the popular Scrimshaw series was born."

Schrade 833UH, arrived today, as a replacement for my last UH staglon knife.

Good condition, with what looks the original grinds, one tiny scratch on the staglon, some rust on the springs. The main spring is nicely centred but the secondary one touches the liners.
It will be cleaned properly later and the rust will be treated.

Nice Schrade.  I have a stockman from this era, but much prefer the jack pattern.  Your Staglon looks much more realistic than mine, with a more "burnt" look.

I don't know; the previous one I had had a nicer staglon. This one looks  a bit bleached, a bit pale. Maybe because the other one was more used it had achieved a nicer, more natural look.

They are available but there seems to be a lot of bad ones around too. Make sure you check it first. $20-$30 should get you a good used one.
There are some new, old USA, ones too which should be the best option, though their prices are a bit high.

Just a heads up for anybody intersted in getting GEC slipjoint knives; They have produced a reasonably price offering, which comes in a variety of nice colours/materials that should be good as a general use, penknife style, knife for most people.
It is a good knife for someone that wants to get a GEC for not too much money. It is also small so that you can carry it easily. (I am not buying one yet but that is my loss..) 1095 carbon steel (i.e. it may rust)

Here are some pictures:

After reading through a thread in BF I realised that I did not have an Ettrick knife:
"The Ettrick is a very traditional Sheffield pattern, which some claim goes back to the 1700’s. It’s name comes from the Scottish Ettrick Valley, where it was used by sheep farmers. It is a sort of Swayback Wharncliffe, but classic Ettricks have the blade set so that the whole knife (when open) forms a sort of lazy ‘S’. They may also appear to have a blade which is shorter than the length of the handle might suggest."

http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1119303-What-is-the-Definition-of-Ettrick

The knife is lower cost, working knife, made in Sheffield by A. Wright and son.
The overall quality of my sample is pretty good . Nicely polished brass bolsters, centred blade, nice looking wood, smooth hidden pins. There is a bit of grit in the pivot and the pull is stronger than I like but still reasonable.

There are other more expensive models too made by various makers. This,however, is a working knife so you do not need to spend too much on one.

Thank you to both.

It is an unusual traditional pattern that looks quite good. Very different to the classic US style knives.
To modern people it looks more like a knife you would use for gardening, though there is a similar knife with a curved edge; more specific to gardening.
It is amongst the cheapest, proper, UK made knives you can get and I know from other similar models that the wood is pretty robust but the blades rust very easily.

GEC 53 Cuban, from 2007, No 4 out of 50, Stockman pattern

I have been looking at it, online, for a few months and just had to get it purely for the look of the scales.

Has a more old-fashioned feel, compared to the newer models, and could do with a clean, in the pivots. It is thinner than I expected.

Post by: dks on February 21, 2014, 08:55:28 PM
As a working knife, the newer ones are better. This has a hard pull, and I would not like to have to open it in a hurry, or several times a day, but I could not find anything else with these pretty scales. They look even better in real life. I had a chat about it with the seller, Bob, and was aware of the hard pull, a trademark of older GECs. I had my eye on it for a few months and Bob made me a very tempting offer....

Well, this thread got me thinking I hadn't gotten a new knife in quite a while. ::)  So to remedy that I decided to pick up a Rough Rider Trapper (in yellow).

(http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss260/gareth_SAKs/Knives/010_zpsc3b518b8.jpg)

As anyone who has had a Rough Rider pocket knife will tell you; the quality is very good and the price is even better. :tu:  Not utterly flawless, one scale has a tiny gap, but still represents unbelievable value. :salute: 

As a small aside I would question just how easily it falls into the 'reason free' UK category.  I say this as the cutting edge is right on the money at 3", which is what the Law stipulates, but measured tip to bolster it obviously breaks the 3" length.  So while technically OK (in my opinion) I am also not sure I'd like to have to argue the Legal nuances with a Police Constable on the street corner. :-\

beartrap means too strong; able to chop off a finger when closing and really hard, to impossible, to open normally, Kirk

I consider "beartrap" springs to be stiff and snap open/shut like a beartrap.  They're hard to open, but I have tough nails and like the springs this way--especially with halfstops.  I can understand someone with weak fingernails disliking them, however.

:drool: I want that Barlow on the right in that top pic.  I'm carrying a Case jackknife of more recent vintage today, a 62032CV.

I like the bone on that jack JD! 

Here are a couple of closer shots of the barlow, to show the bone a bit better.  I've always liked bone that shows the marrow groove like these.

...and here's my favorite "user" GEC, a 66 Tidioute Stockman w/paper micarta scales.  I'm carrying this one today.

My latest, both Case CV.  A large Stockman and a Swayback Jack.  They were both used, but cleaned up well.  Time to use them and get some patina going......

It's a pretty knife for sure.  Personally I prefer the 62032 small Texas Jack, but I'm sure this Swayback will be seeing a lot of pocket time as well.  :tu:  The stockman is a monster, 4 1/8" frame.  I put a 200 angle on it with my Lansky, and right now it's a three bladed razor.  I love CV......

I had my Svord apart to clean it. I noticed the black portion is starting to turn blue for some reason. Probably just a patina of some sort. I love patinas and the Svord is showing a nice patina on the black portion already.

This thread is dying...

Here are a couple I got today, from oldhundredcollectibles.

One is, another, GEC Bullnose and the other is a GEC TC Barlow (more pictures etc. in the Barlow thread)

(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/IMG_9499.jpg)

(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/IMG_9498.jpg)

Note that the bullnose I got is made with O1 tool steel, meaning that it is the older 2013 version. The latest ones are made with 1095 steel, a bit of a downgrade, making the 01 ones collectible, apparently.

This was also an EDC model, but unlike my older one it did not have an S (for shop) stamped on the tang and for the life of me I can not see why this was marked down and sold as an EDC one..

Some pictures with my older Bullnose knife (for more details on this style of knives there is a link at the end of my post, "signature" area)

Al,it feels a lot like the Gunstock I bought last year. It's good. Your confidant in the backsprings,fit and finish are good. The last couple of RRs I've bought have been a wee bit iffy(in fairness,at the price you couldn't complain), but the Half Hawk is the real deal.

I often wish you could buy RRs in the shops,so you could pick the gems from the duds,but thems the breaks

It is very nice and the Red bone (one of the reasons I got this)  is very nice too.

The small blade is a bit harder to open than i like, but the blades move smoothly with good walk and talk. The finish and blade centering is very good.

I have posted a few of mine through the years, but there is not much interest in non tactical/multipurpose/locking knives around here.

There are probably under 10 members that regularly carry/use/post about  "penknives"/slipjoints and some just do it because they are not allowed to carry locking knives by law.

An old Boker with bone scales and brass liners. Accompanied by an Olight i3 EOS, Colibri lighter, in a DIY leather pocket sheath. This is the smaller of my 2 EDC pocket kits.

(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/31/e080761c564d3d0fad8b3007b13d2ac6.jpg)
A couple Barlow's. Top is an I*XL by George Wostenholm of Sheffield England. Found this one all rusted up. After many hours of cleaning and polishing, it appears to have never actually been used! The lower is a pocket worn Camco USA that has seen light use.

(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/31/d7a643d627a7a921f4b1331003cd4dbb.jpg)
My latest find, a Peter Klein from Solingen. This knife appears to be hand made and was either not finished at the factory, or the quality standards were very low. I'm working on making it pretty...

I'm not always a big carrier of them,mostly because SAKs are so versitile. But there's a really functional beauty in the traditional patterns that tactical knives lack.

Well, even though it was a busy day, I did in fact find a few minutes to work on the polishing on the blades. I'm sorry about the bad light, but I forgot to take pictures, when I had a proper light-source.

I really like the pattern! The Old Timers are carbon steel.

They look like liner locks ...

Yes, they are. Sorry, I neglected to mention that.

I think he was saying that because this is a slipjoint thread.  :pok:

Technically, since they still have a normal backspring, they are still considered a Traditional Sliploint, as a a knife like a TL-29.  One of the best knives Schrade ever made!

A TL-29 was my first work knife and it escaped the fire in a toolbox at my house. Dad gave it to me in the 70's.

Don't carry it much, too precious to me and someone is always watching, waiting for you to set it down....

Its most likely cattle shin bone. Better makers tend to buy only the bones from certain breeds/regions. You need a strong cow that walks a lot do it has good bone density. I seem to recall that south American cow bones were considered good.

Dks, how do you like that Bull Lock?
Title: Re: Show your slip joint's thread!
Post by: dks on March 15, 2015, 03:12:48 PM
I did buy it to use it, but never really did - I thought, when buying it, that the Grizzly jigging looked really sexy and I was going to use it to replace my SRM763 as my standard locking folder.

It just feels a bit thin for a knife with such a large, solid blade and the jigging is a bit "sharp" making it a bit uncomfortable for me to use regularly. Also, for a locking knife, the blade is harder to open than needed (noticeably harder than a locking or regular SAK and you can not pinch it open - you could damage a nail if you try to open it quickly)

It is a good looking knife with a really solid lock and looks very unusual to what everybody else carries.
I also do not want to get it rusty through use as it does, for some reason, rust easier than the other GECs I have.

I have no major reason not to use it, but the SS 763 ends in my pocket 90% of the time I want a locking knife.

Over at another forum I belong to that discusses traditional knives (esp GEC), it's the general consensus that on the GEC 23's and 73's, the ones with the lanyard hole are easier to open than the ones without. This is based on anecdotal evidence of people that own one or both that responded to the thread. The ones without a lanyard hole are usually all nail breakers.

My 23L has a lanyard hole and even with my RA, I can open it pretty easy....it's not weak by any definition but a very solid 6-7 on a 1-10 scale.

Mine again (for reference).

Post by: dks on March 15, 2015, 04:27:38 PM
I am not aware of the forum you mention but at Bladeforums  :whistle: there is a lot of discussions on GECs . It took them years to accept RR but its nice to see that the cheaper, good knives, get some love too.

The 23's have the reputation for being nailbreakers, especially the older ones like the GEC trapper I show above.
I can open it, but its not a pleasant feeling (biggest nailbreaker I have is probably a Camillus electrician..). I know some GEC fans (I am one too- fan not fanboy) feel obliged to say that they need/like a hard backspring and that it is a safety feature and that their grandpas knife was hard etc but SAKs work fine for all and are easy to open. I think that the hard springs was a mistake by GEC, - possibly because it came with the overall heavy duty construction of their knives (they all have a heavy duty feel, and gag to be used, as opposed to e.g. Queen which has more regular feeling knives) and possibly because of the fact that they use knife openers/coins/spoons to open their knives.(here is how I made one : http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,27862.0.html

However, on a locking knife the only good/useful thing about a hard backspring is that it stops it from opening accidentally or being opened by children (under 9{ish} - over that and they should have their own knives anyway). The spring on the bulllock is definitely softer than on the regular 23 line, but still too hard/uncivilised  for a knife that locks.

Incidentally I started a thread explaining from a physics point of view. how to open a knife a few years ago:

Yes it was Bladeforums in a thread last year...I see I was preaching to the choir! :2tu: Yes, the hard springs on GEC's keep me from buying more...I have 3 given to me as gifts.. 2 were were kinda broke in so I can use them and one is an EO 25.

I can't find the thread now but as I remember it was a thread on springs and toward the end someone made the observation about the lanyard hole and others chimed in on the subject confirming it with their experiences.

I remember the thread, though I am not a BLF member (I do spent a looot of time there, so maybe I will join one day)

What I did find to work on some hard RRs was to leave them with the spring under tension for a few days. My theory is that this causes some micro cracks/damage to the spring softening it. However, this may affect the life of the spring, so I would not do it on an expensive knife I plan to resell and make looooots of money in the future (by the way the  dollar to euro ratio is killing me.. I feel stupid paying 150 Euro on what used to be 100 Euro. It is not a money thing; I just feel robbed)

Not sure, but they're some beauties!  How's the spring on that #73?  I love mine--it's a great working knife, and I never feel like I need a lock on it.

EDIT... Never mind, I see that's not a #73.  I can't keep the patterns straight anymore.

Knowing all the GEC model numbers of by heart is a prerequisite for posting in this thread



The 23 and 73 are always hard to tell apart without knowing their size

Yeah.  Comparing size with the other two was how I realized my error!  ;)

I wish my 73 had a lanyard hole...

Thanks fellas.  The #66 is a great EDC pattern.  The paper micarta scales are very tough too.

I gave the scales and bolsters a polish today.

Post by: NutSAK on April 06, 2015, 07:06:24 PM
Thanks guys.  ;)

I keep that one in a slip because it's one of those knives I find hard to use.  It's minty for a 1973.  I wish I could just bite the bullet and develop a patina like I have with the GEC above.  That Copperhead pattern feels really good in the hand--much better than most single-ended jacks--but it is a bit larger than what I typically use.

Paul, that slip is from KSF (www.KnivesShipFree.com (http://www.KnivesShipFree.com))

I just got my first Slippie - an Imperial USA Barlow that I won in a Giveaway on bladeforums (thanks guys for the generosity)
It only took it 7 months to get to me from the US... wow this a record even for the Romanian post office... normally overseas takes 1-3 months ... only had an action figure from Canada get here in 6 months before... it seems they had lost this package somewhere under a counter or something...
Anyway, it's here and after a bit of TLC from the perilous journey, here it is in its glory. I really do like the thing... never had an American traditional but I can say I'm already semi-converted. I'm used to Swiss/German/French/Spanish knives and this is so very different in design.
The scales look very nice and are very comfy and grippy, the droppoint blade looks great and easily took a wicked edge.
Not convinced about the steel grade, the fitting of the scales and the overall size (will only fit 3 1/2 fingers).
As a collectible it is very very nice and quite a rare sight this side of the pond.. it's also one of the classiest looking knives I've ever seen... must look for a canoe next  :D

I do not think I have a Moose pattern . looks like an interesting blade combination.
I think I have a two blade Wenger and some other slipjoints with a similar blade combination, but the Clippoint blade is smaller than the spearpoint, or the other way round.

For the past month now, I've been using the ever lovin' heck out of this Remington UMC peanut made by Camillus. It has 1095 carbon blades that take a ferocious razor edge and hold it pretty good. Jigged delrin scales give good grip and are durable. Slices like a small Opinel. I love these little peanut size jacks!

Wow, a pint size powerhouse!!!! :tu:

I have to confess, I have a love of pint size cutlery.

I grw up watching my old man do all his knife stuff with a little Case peanut. It seemed like he could do anything with his pint size cutter, and I remember him telling me that "it doesn't have to be big, just sharp." It wasn't until I got old enough to get some common sense that I realized he was right about most things. Now that I'm ahold social security senior citizen, I value room in my pockets that are becoming crowed with stuff. Reading glasses that I can't see a restaurant menu without, small container of meds that come with age, small flashlight, RONCO pocket defibrillator in case of cardiac issue. A small pocket knife that takes up a minimum of real-estate is a good thing. And two inches of nice sharp steel will cut most things Ineed to cut in an urban/suburban environment I live in.

The only thing I find the very small knife lacking is, food service. Obviously I can't serve up a deep dish apple pie with one, nor cut a large Italian hogie in half. It's not too good at butchering a buffalo, but I don't foresee that in my future. In truth, I can get by with the blade on my Vic classic, but then I am too much of a knife knut for just one knife.

I like the little ones ok but with my RA, articulating a knife smaller than an 84mm is difficult...even skinny 84's are tough some days. I have to be careful or a knife will just slip right out of my hand too which is why I like lanyards.

Well, I thought this one was one I had already seen, some time ago, with a small defect in one of the handles (the bone was chipped). It wasn't. This was a new one, perfect condition. It's made in Portugal but our knife makers are pretty good, so... It was about the price of a big Deejo. I was really considering getting the Deejo but when I saw this one and held it, I was doomed!

If they made that with 1095 carbon steel , instead of stainless, and a natural material handle,,,that could be a winner :think:

New Schrade Uncle Henry Gambler, 707UH, $12 + shipping, under $19 to my door.

I decided to give them another chance. Summarising, only buy them if they are 1/3 of the price of Rough Riders.

and, the extended version:

(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/IMG_2153.jpg)

The knife was gritty and a wash and oiling did not help much
It feels like it has a halfstop, but it is just bad construction/finish.

(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/IMG_2161.jpg)

(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/IMG_2160.jpg)

Size comparison with a SAK Classic size knife.

(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/IMG_2155.jpg)

(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/IMG_2158.jpg)

(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/IMG_2157.jpg)

The covers seem similar to the original Schrade ones.

The lanyard attachement is a thin wire, hooked in the springs, which are cut in at different sizes on each side - really bad QC/QA

(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/IMG_2175.jpg)

Compare the right groove and the left groove...

(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/IMG_2174.jpg)

There is some ugly filler at the edge of the covers

(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/IMG_2162.jpg)

The scissors spring is a bit bent sideways, and sticks out on one side.

(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/IMG_2172.jpg)

(http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee484/jladks/toys/IMG_2173.jpg)

The polish, covers, and overall finish was OK.
The blade edge was not straight, but a bit wavy.
Maybe they are better with one blade models, maybe this was an old batch, and scissors are not easy to get right, but they really need to do better, if anybody will buy them instead of RR.

I'll try to find some site that has them.

My latest, courtesy of jday2727.  I love CV Soddies, and this one looks unused.  The factory edge is not quite where I like it, but a little bit of time with my Lansky and I'll be able to shave with the sucker. :tu: And the little Buck! That pic doesn't do it justice.  The wood is beautiful, and the F&F is as close to perfect as I've ever seen on a Chinese made slippie.

Some Winchester Gold Stone slip joint knives I bought as some of the first knives I purchased. They have some issues from storage from the previous owner but I basically got them three for less than what one of them should have cost. I want to bring them back with some nice flitz.

Great deal on some Winnies sir!!!! Love the USA Winchesters! I collect them in orange/black bone.

Original patterns, made by Queen Cutlery on some of the orig Winchester equipment from the 20's-50's IIRC.

:2tu:

Added:

Be careful, these can be as addicting as SAKs but they often cost 10X as much...    :facepalm:

I have a couple of Ciols, and think they are great beaters. The finish is not the best, but they are solidly built, have strong back springs and no blade play.
Also they have 90degree spines, so they can be used with a firesteel.

Cheers mate.  They've been on my radar since I got the axe from that site, but I really don't feel the need for one just now.  Good to know they're still worth keeping in mind though.

I dont know why but all the titanium and carbon fiber knives out there just don't tickle me, give me a traditional long pull slippy, a stacked leather handle or a vintage SAK and I'm happy man. Good stuff Robert, I definitely plan on picking up some slippys soon.

I don't have many slip joints but this one crossed my path and I plan on keeping it and "running it hard".

Its a handmade custom by JD Ellis in the Tony Bose Lanny's Clip pattern.
He has used modern materials like Lightning Strike Carbon Fibre and orange G10 along with Sandvik 14c28N steel to make a modern traditional.
This knife is begging to be used and feels great in the hand. The belly on this type of clip point is very practical and I will leave this on my desk for odd jobs and maybe some lunch prep.

My one and only Slipjoint...I know nothing about it (pattern, brand, steel, scales material...) but I really like to use it on camping trips.

I only have 2 other IXL's, both from the Schrade "Heralds of the Sea" collection. They are real scrimshaw inked on bone in Massachusetts (I think) and then shipped to England to be fitted to the knives. They are all a little different as they are done by hand by a couple of different artists.

The catalog shows the blue sod buster Jr with a brushed steel blade, but this one had a polished one. I'm not complaining. lol..... I think it was mistakenly put on there. The Sod buster Jr, is a great work knife.

The Boker has more of a pocket worn look than the Hen and Rooster because I carried it a long time before I started carrying them in Sackups :tu: The Hen and Rooster spent most of it's life in a Sackup though :D

I guess I got the Boker when I was 11 or 12 years old :dd: I remember I went with my dad and mom to a flea market and we saw the knife and dad bought it for me :cheers: I bought the Hen and Rooster myself around 10 years ago and it is just like one my dad carries for many years and he still has it :tu: His is way more pocket worn than mine though :D

Right column - 3254 large Trapper, 3207 mini Trapper, 31048 Slimline Trapper.

In Case's numbering system, the first number is the handle material, the second number is the number of blades on the knife, and the last two/three numbers is the model #. The "L" after the Russlock's numbers indicates it has a lock. :tu:

Yeah, the #75 pattern Stockman is a big boy. Great knife though. :tu: Out if the ones I posted, the penknife sees the most carry time, followed by the mini Trapper and the Slimline. At one point I had the Slimline set up for OHO. Old trick with that pattern - a small piece of wood in the blade groove keeps the tip of the knife just above the handle. Catch the tip on the edge of your pocket and pull the knife down to open. Kind of the hillbilly version of the Emerson wave. :)

Steve's great knife reminded me of mine!

Here are my TL-29 pattern knives. And Steve is batting a thousand...these take an amazing edge!!!!   :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh

The bottom one was my first work knife, given to me by my Dad back in the 70's (another knife that escaped the fire in my toolbox). The top one is a 90's version (I think) bought several years ago.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz256/SAKGuy/Reposts/2%20Camillus%20adj_zpsnbspvtpb.jpg)


This one is a Schrade SCC 204 that was made by Camillus for Imperial Schrade back in the 70's or 80's IIRC. Bought about 3 years ago.

Just got this stockman in, working on my slip joint collection -

1943 KA-BAR stockman, slightly larger than a Buck 303 for reference.
Custom cowboy western scales, sterling silver scroll work and I believe 10k gold monogram
I didn't pay much at all for it, about the retail price of a Buck 303 on the primary market so I'm very happy with it.

Sowbellys

Five blade, Rifle Shield (missing) Winchester in Burnt Orange bone.

Winchester "Black Box" Sowbelly in dark Rogers Bone.

Winchester Cartridge Shield Sowbelly in Burnt Orange Bone.

And finally, A Case Bros Sowbelly in light brown Rogers Bone.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz256/SAKGuy/Case%20Bros%20Sowbelly_zpssom4qajv.jpg)


I keep mentioning "Rogers Bone" so I thought an explanation was needed. From what I've read, Queen and Blue Grass Cutlery bought a lot of it to use on the Winchester knives for Blue Grass Cutlery. The dark bone on the "Black Box" Winchesters (approx '87-'92) is also referred to as "Utica Bone" as it's Rogers Bone reportedly bought from the Utica Cutlery Co.  The Case Bros light brown bone is supposed to be Rogers Bone as well but I know no particulars on it...

Here's some info on the bone from Roger Manufacturing from Levine.
http://pweb.netcom.com/~brlevine/bonehand.txt

The "Black Box" Winchester thread over on BF is also a wealth of info on these knives.

And my first foray into classic slip joints has started. Uh oh...  :D I'm really having allot of fun carrying and using this knife. I'd only wish I'd gotten into them sooner. (Oh, and had a lot more money to spend on them too of course...)

It's a Northwoods Michigan Jack, Denim Micarta. 1095 Carbon blade.  :drool:

That's an awesome start.  Is that denim Micarta as grippy as it looks in the pics?  It sure looks like a great scale material for a user.

Thanks to the great guys in the Traditional challenge and their beautiful sowbellies, a new addtion to my collection arrived today.  :facepalm:

You know who you are...  :pok:  :P  :D

This one has pretty good F&F, with some minor liner rub on the clip and spey.  I'll take that over blades rubbing together.  Chestnut bone and CV is my favorite late-model Case combo.

I have another silver/cracked ice handled Buck Creek and either my dad has it or I have lost it over the years a red handled one as well :tu: I will have to get my other H&R stag handled ones out for some pics later this week if I remember :cheers:

Rough Rider Blade Lock Trapper Gunstock bone - Very good design of the knife and finish. I wish Case used this design and improved it. One hand opening doesn't work as smoothly as a Spyderco... I had to use too hands (small hole and strong spring). What I really hate is the handle material... I guess it's grippy but it is so rough and pointy it hurts my hands. I wish I'd have gotten the Tortoise one.

As a Schrade collector, it's very sad to see what Taylor has done to a fine American brand name.  :facepalm: I have several of the early Taylor Schrades and they were solid knives.  Seems the quality has slipped.

Post by: Dean51 on September 09, 2016, 06:05:18 PM
Just a thought for all who might be thinking of the Taylor brand knives.
I bought a old timer 8OTB as a gift for my son in law, it was a well built nice looking knife.

Later I had an opportunity to talk to an engineer from their U.S. warehouse. He stated that Old Timer was their high end slip joint line. So with Taylor Brands that might be the way to go.

Something different to look at a Camillus 836 Canoe, these were working knives nothing fancy about them. As a reference I'll compare it to a Queen Railsplitter.
I got this back about 1990 and carried it a little. It is a horse of a knife, the 836 Canoe weights in at 4.4 oz. vs 3.7 oz. for the Queen Railsplitter. It's a 3 spring design so that accounts for the weight difference, Length is 3 12/16 vs 3 11/16, for the Railsplitter.

These knives were finished as ground no attempt was made to polish them at all. My pictures don't show the handle finish well but imagine it coming right on the surface grinder.

I got a copperhead during the 30 day challenge and noticed the resemblance to the canoe pattern.
So I did a google search to find out which came first the canoe or the copperhead.
I only learned that they both appeared in the early 1900's.

Sorry bud, I didn't mean it bad. I just wondered if it had features that Queen considered unique for it to be a Work Horse instead of a Canoe. Is it big...like in the 3 7/8th - 4" range?  I'm fascinated by patterns/names of pocketknives.

I didn't take it bad, we good. Sometimes with text it's hard to take whats in your mind and make it come out right.
It is a Canoe pattern, 3 5/8".
The workhorse name is Queens line of working knives. They are 1095 instead of D2.
Delrin or some kind of composite handle material instead of bone & the pins are exposed. Basically just an inexpensive work knife.

They are a great pattern, aren't they?  After I got home from work today I slipped my SF Queen canoe into my pocket after seeing yours this morning and have used it several times this evening.  I especially like the pen blade.  It's a deep blade, but it's thin and it has an excellent tip for detail work.  It's slim frame defies how tough a knife it really is.  The sunk tangs make it extremely comfortable in the hand and easy on the pocket.  No need at all for a slip when carrying this one.

The naming of traditional models is a big topic. Some names are standard, some are just area or company specific.
In the UK most small slipjoints were described as just penknives.

is a barlow just a bigger peanut?

GEC tends to do that and being dominant with knife nuts it can. Bullnose is a sodbuster, for example.
Elephant toe nail -  sunfish can be the same size and style

Jack knife is used as a general term for many styles

you have terms like "modified" or "improved" for variations of a basic style....

and that is just in English...

Post by: NutSAK on September 17, 2016, 04:42:37 PM
is a barlow just a bigger peanut?

A peanut is a small or "miniature" jack knife.  A Barlow is a "bare head" (bolster only on the cap end) jack knife.  Traditionally, a Barlow was made as an inexpensive knife (or "peasant knife") for the masses, with cheap build quality.  Typically you will find that the blade steel is thin and the scales are mostly unfinished on a traditional Barlow.  A peanut typically has a higher quality finish and is bolstered on both ends, so it's not really related to the Barlow.

GEC tends to do that and being dominant with knife nuts it can. Bullnose is a sodbuster, for example.
Elephant toe nail -  sunfish can be the same size and style

Most of this is just a way to differentiate one brand vs. another.  Queen call their sodbuster a "country cousin", for example.  Though the term "peanut" is a universal one, it has been associated mostly with Case over the years, as has "sodbuster", which is really just another term for a farmer. 

Jack knife is used as a general term for many styles

"Jack knife" is a general term, but it always describes a knife with one or more blades that hinge on the same end of the knife.  You will never see knives that have blades that fold on both ends of the knife (such as a muskrat, stockman, moose, etc.) termed as a jack knife.

"Improved" or "modified" typically refers to a design change that differentiates that particular pattern from standard.  For example, a Muskrat that is modified or improved might have 2 springs, where the typical design of a Muskrat only has one.

With GEC it get more complicated.
My GEC #68 is a called Pony Jack, it is a 2 blade jack knife
There's also a #68 WHITE OWL which has a main blade on one end and the smaller blade on the other end.
The #68 BUCKAROO is a 3 blade similar to a stockman but the same frame shape as the other two.

I'm glad I don't collect GEC's I'd never be able to keep up with whats what.

Yeah, the #66 Stockman is called a Calf Roper.  Hey, they can call them what they want!  :salute:  The #66 refers to the equal-end medium serpentine frame.  In that frame, there is a stockman, a moose, a jack, a "mink skinner" (muskrat) and probably a few other models.

I found this 301 in the rocks down by the river,  :think: 5 - 6 years ago or there about.
It looked like one bolster had hit the rocks. It had to much blade play and the clip rubbed the inside of bolster when opening. I put in in the tool box with the utility knives & forgot about it.
All this pocket knife talk I decided to take it out and try a repair on it.
I cleaned up the inside of the bolster where the rock dented it so the clip would close smoothly again.
Got the pins peened to remove the remove the blade play. Then smoothed it out and gave the bolsters a 2000 wet/dry satin finish.
I had to put a hone to the inside of the spey blade to remove a bit of blade rub it had. Damage from the rock, I would guess.

It works nice and smooth now so I think I can put it back & forget about it again.  ::)

I think the best thing that the traditional challenge did for me was to reintroduce me to some of the knives that aren't in or are no longer in my regular rotation.  I guess I get in a "rut" sometimes with my carry (but maybe not quite as bad as Poncho  :P  :D).  I think this Queen Canoe is the real standout--I hadn't realized how much there is to like about this knife until the challenge.  It has a bit of a light pull on the main blade, and I think that was what kept me from really enjoying it when I got it.  That and the logo.  Maybe my attitude has changed a bit.

Wow!!!  What a difference!!!  That color looks great!!!!

Lovely scale colour on that Terry. :drool:

Thanks guys!  I'm really amazed at how that knife has aged.  I figured that Micarta was a really "stable" material that would be the same virtually forever.

My thoughts exactly, even about the my canoe.
Something else happened that I wasn't expecting. I think there are some that are going to go up for sale.   :o
Maybe I need to see a doctor.

Huh.  I was thinking exactly the same thing about the ones that I didn't enjoy carrying as much as the others.  :salute:  The funny thing is that some of those that I want to sell still seem like ones that I should enjoy, but I don't.  If that makes any sense...

I don't think a doctor is in order!!  ;)  I think that's the whole natural progression of the hobby, really.  With MTs, SAKs and pocket knives as well, I buy what I think I'm going to enjoy and appreciate, and that doesn't work out every time.  Selling those pieces that don't "fit in" just makes more room for those that do.  In the end, you end up with a more satisfying collection.

Yep, this seems like a tough knife.  I was worried about the micarta feeling 'soft' but it's a big, heavy, solid lump that I reckon will take anything I can dish out.  The main blade is exactly 3" from tip to handle and the pen blade is bigger than the main blade on a Cadet. :o  It's a very good slicer though - the grind on the sheepsfoot is very shallow.

Sweet !

Can I ask you fellas what you're oiling your slippies with? (Or do you)

I use mineral oil.  It works great and is food safe.  I lightly oil all of the carbon steel knives at the joints and keep a thin layer on the blades.  Some stainless ones only get a light oiling at the joints, but usually none at all.  Knives with stainless blades and brass liners really don't require any lubrication.
Title: Re: Show your slip joint's thread!
Post by: dks on September 22, 2016, 11:15:32 AM
I use victorinox oil, cheap mineral oil and, since a GAW, nano-oil.

I just oil the pivot points, a bit, and wipe them afterwards. I do not oil the blades of any knives I currently use.

I use marine tuff-cloth to protect the blades of some carbon steel knives that I am not using.

I just use 3 in 1 oil on the joints for the carbon and stainless knives. On the carbon blades I'll wipe a thin layer on oil on the blades. I don't use carbon steel on food so I don't worry about it being food safe. There's always a stainless blade with me I can use on food.

Bought several bottles of high priced Vic oil then refilled the bottles with regular mineral oil (which is what the Vic oil is...so I've read) Those little bottles are great though.....

When Canal Street was still around I just waited around to pickup a Cannitler, there was no hurry right. Then CSC closed their doors, prices went up & I mumbled something to myself that I won't repeat here.
A week ago someone posted a knife that I wanted to learn more about, so one search led to another.  :D There it was the last one this dealer had, it was their display model.
I could not have found a better deal.

They're a pretty good colour match, though the springs on the Boys Knife are a little shinier.  I will be posting more pics of them both in future - sorry. >:D

Got these from Lorenzi, Vienna last week

A bird hunting knife, made in Italy by Lionsteel with micarta covers, bottle opener, saw, blade and gutting hook.

There are also stag versions for a bit more. This was about 55 euro and the stag ones were about 60, but without the saw.

Decent built quality, good finish, nice snap, clean joints 14116 German steel (good rust resistance - good for salty, dirty environments). Better finished than the usual German hunting knives.

Some Palles knives from Spain (but possibly made in China) , wooden and plastic frames.  9cm, 7 cm and 5 cm.
Cheap price good walk and talk, their papers say they are weapons..

Nice ergonomic handles.
Unusual look.
Thin slicing blades.

That one is by Colonial knife corp. But Marbles has one that has better openers. Both are 440A.
That knife has been split down to a single spring.

I just got back from a church flea market and here's what I found.

The white stockman knife is marked Ranger on the shield and Ultra Honed and From the USA on the blade
The trapper is marked DE on the shield and Diamond Edge 392 on the blade and Imperial, Prov. R.I.
The electrician's knife is marked Colonial and Prov. USA.
Last knife is a Mora basic.  They are all in functional condition and will clean up nicely with very little effort.
I bought the lot of them for $25.00.

Some Hartkopf blades with ebony handles.
The larger one is a lockback.

I read on a German forum that QC at Hartkopf is not what is was before.
So if you want one, you should find a shop and QC it yourself!

Some Hartkopf blades with ebony handles.
The larger one is a lockback.

I read on a German forum that QC at Hartkopf is not what is was before.
So if you want one, you should find a shop and QC it yourself!

:mail: My second GEC.
I always like this blade combination but never took the time and effort to keep up with GEC's production schedules. I saw this by accident  :drool: ed & my impluse control went out the window. :facepalm:

The stainless US military, SAKs,  Opinels are cool but yes, I gifted a US made 34OT and got, I know, an 8OT with uneven back springs.  Might be US?

Will do.  This thing is enormous!  Not sure itll see any real edc time but I think I'll haul it around on the weekends.  This one is NOS but the blades are dull as dirt.  Gonna need a little time on the Sharpmaker.  The springs have good snap closing but might be a little on the soft side for some.  Probably about the same feel as a 91mm SAK. I personally like them that way as I have thin fingernails.  All around I'm really digging it.  Love love love the thick brass liners and the bail.  And just a great tool set.

The R-4 and the Trailhand are about the same length as a Pioneer....that is a big folding camp knife.

I believe the GEC #23 Pioneers are 4 1/2" closed.  This Camp knife measures 4 13/16"!  It's nice and thick too.  A real handful. :o

 :salute: I meant a SAK Pioneer (similar style knife). Sorry, I was imprecise in my language!  :cheers:

Still looking at one of those.....maybe in January.

Might have said it before, but man you people make life tough for me  :facepalm:

So little time, so little money, so many beautiful little knives.  :salute:

Looking at these photos I always chuckle thinking back to childhood, at some point locking knives just became THE thing, slip joints were kids stuff.

That prejudice lives on till today, honestly would not use a slippy day to day, but nothing else makes me jealous quite like these little jems   :gimme:

Schrade Whittler from the heritage series, in green bone.
That's a sharp looking whittler.

Thanks , the main blade has a very fine tip considering the thick tang. There were other patterns in the series including a Stockman and a Muskrat?? with red or green bone.

 Trapper and Barlow were the other patterns I couldn't think of when I posted mine. And there were 3 colours too, red green and brown bone. I like mine because of the through pin pivot construction rather than the usual schrade keyed pin. :cheers:

I've had this retail version of the TL-29 for a good while, it's 440A stainless. I found a military issue TL-29 in the mail box today.
I don't know if they all very this much, so I thought I'd show the difference between the two TL-29's. The military issue doesn't have the finish of the retail model, it also has a brass center pin & carbon blade. Unlike the retail version it came with out a box, wrapped in paper and stuck in a small plastic bag.

Under $20 at Cabalas, went looking for one thing and found these.  The wood is different than the singles, but for the set mush less than the Treo single.
I was inspired by your stag handled treo

Before I got into SAKs I was a general knife collector, including a lot of traditional patterns.

Canoes, Copperheads, Mini Trappers.

And Stockmen, including a few more I dug out.

Thanks!   :cheers:

As mentioned I was a general knife collector for a number of years before concentrating on SAKs. Kept a bunch of the earlier knives. Also sold off a bunch (too many) and have occasionally been reaquiring things I shouldn't have gotten rid off. Also the occasional new item that catches my eye.

All this Trapper talk makes me want to dig mine out and carry one tomorrow!

An assortment of Case and Boker Trappers. I prefer the Mini Trappers; think they handle better and ride better in the pocket. Still these are a bunch of good looking knives.

Earlier this year I picked up a Case Sowbelly Stockman with cranberry bone handles. Liked it so much I just picked up another, a John Wayne Commemorative Sowbelly with red bone handles.


Over the past 7 or 8 months I've been getting back into non-SAK slip joints, particularly Case knives. Bad on the wallet, but they sure are pretty!   :D

 :cheers: Thx Dean! I think it will. Has a nice medium pull with great snap, flush springs and perfectly centered blades. Will have to work on the edge a bit but I have to do the same on every Winchester/S&M (both Queen made) I own. The way I freehand just doesn't work with a Queen factory edge so it takes a little work on a stone.

I've traded the Browning Pursuit by the Pattada. This one is not OHO but its horn scales are beautiful and also the pouch is getting a nicer worn look everyday.

I must make another pouch for the Browning so it can compete in equal terms.

One thing I don't like about it, though...

When I carry it, I'm always trying to find excuses to use it.

So I end up eating in crummy restaurants with steaks hard as nails just so I can use it.

It looked interesting and the knife was cheaper than the shipping.

Marbles Workman MR264 model

There are two versions, one with a philips screwdriver (polished a bit too much) and one with a hammer that looks totally stupid.

The blade is nice and sharp, with a ruler with some obsolete units, it has a bottle opener, a straight screwdriver, wire cutting area, and a philips screwdriver. The overall quality is good, and the G10 feels as good as the one used by case xx, for $10.

The philips driver and the flat screwdriver are hard to open, as the leverage they provide is not enough.

Cleaning and oiling helped, a bit.

A very interesting and useful knife.

At the back is a

Slight chance in my EDC. Left the ICEL Corneto at home and took the spear point. This one is about 1 or 2 cm smaller than the Corneto, but more than enough for my daily needs. Still paired with the Compact and Nitecore Tube.

Nice array, Paul  :tu: I have one of the HO2 knives too ... well, three actually  :D They don't get as much carry time as they probably should. I also have an old pearlite Sheffield penknife made by John Watts in Sheffield. It was actually "new old stock" when I got it, and it's never been carried. If I had to guess, I'd say it was probably 80's or maybe a little older, as it has a swedge on the main blade, which seems to be one of the first things the Sheffield companies started knocking on the head for cost saving (though I could be wrong). The box is quite old in style too.

 Loads done today, removed chrome playing off colonial scrimshaws bolsters as badly done, polished them and gave them a brushed Finnish to match blades,  then sorted broken top on the Wayne medium stockman,it's more warncliff now,plus peened it as had blade play, then sorted the camillus that had a broken main pivot pin,it was snapped in half so tricky to get the remains out,it's now got a SS upgrade pivot pin   :salute:

Worked on my Camillus 70 today, cleaned up the blades a bit especially the main blade as it was heavily pitted. Wet sanded it and polished. It still has plenty of character  :tu:

A little more work on the Camillus 70 today. There was a small chip right at the tip of the sheepsfoot blade. A little touch up on the bench grinder and she's good to go.

Thanks, Poncho65!

Fast forward a few months later and I noticed that the blue Slimline Trapper didn't really appealed to me so I offered it up for trade. Someone offered a GEC Pemberton in Sambar Stag for my Slimline plus another knife, so I offered the Canoe also. Got a deal that made us both happy!

After getting my GEC, I decided to have it patina by submerging it in vinegar and sticking it in an apple. I'm still not sure if I love or hate the patina  :think:

I thought this thread needed bump.

The shield is probably designed by those who designed BMW grills...

Last sfos.... They had a good runjn

Good walk and talk, some minor blade play on the bone one, only if you try it holding the tip of the blade

I passed on the 74, to let someone who wanted them enjoy them - Nice wood and stag, especially stag, on the 74s
Micarta is a looker too.

The jigged bone 74 is kind of disappointing but the rest look great !   I was able to get an Ironwood for myself and one for David . They are on the way, can't wait to see them  :ahhh
