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.I thought that bottom knife was a Richartz.AFAIK they no longer make tradtional folders,but they're still aound making SAK clones.
Here is a couple of mine......Nice collection mate :)

How do I know if my Schrade is from Schrade times or Taylor Cutlery?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 ::)
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
QuoteIf 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 :)
Here's some of mine, this doesn't include SAK's of course :)
I love that DKPK. :drool: Anyone have any idea where one would get one of those?
Necrotize me, Captain!Good call, I want more pics too :D
In the interests of more pictures. :D
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.Mate, what a gorgeous collection :drool: :drool: :drool:

Thanks mate, I'll try and pick one up soon then :tu:Out of this lot, what would you recommend mate :)
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.
Tomorrow? :pok: :DThanks mate, I'll try and pick one up soon then :tu:Out of this lot, what would you recommend mate :)

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.

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. >:DJust to fuel the fire, Chako:Click (http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,12125.0.html) ;) :D

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.
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.
A addiction within a addiction spurs on another addiction. ???

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.

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.
Mike,I will nab one at some point, just need to get my holiday and a hundred other things out of the way first :D
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.
Been looking alittle in to Case folders and they are expensive "overhere". Couldn't find any in Denmark, but a swedish site has this one (the cheapest)They retail for pretty much a minimum of £30 over here for a very basic model :-\
for about 65$.. Is that normal price..?

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.

Yeah, yeah, just rub it in... :twak: :twak:
Now I'm gonna search the web all night to see, if any of those last ones can be found at a better price than Case... :D :D

Too late...already started to sharpen it :P
I also have a cunning plan to deal with the nail nick issue...
The shame of it being that you shouldn't have to >:(Yes, that's true...usually my need to tinker and knife-sharpening OCD wins out. :P I might have a go at putting some Yew scales on it after I get the nail access sorted out.
...I'm going to assume there was Dremel usage here! And nice edge too, convex I will assume?...
...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)

Do they still use CV at all anymore ???
Sadly that was the impression I was under too :-\Do they still use CV at all anymore ???
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,
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.
Princess Pollywog,
In the $100 range is quite reasonable actually for an American made slipjoint using 154CM or Damascus steel.
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.

(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a354/ducktapehero/SAK/knife11.jpg)
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?
Case is owned by zippo isn't it? So if zippo can sell stamped sheet metal for $30, why can't case sell their 420HC knife for $100? :P
*points at SAKs* :D
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...................

............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.

Not to jump the thread, either, but I just wanted to say I grabbed up one of the Case Scouts a while back, just to counterpoint my SAKs. Lovely knife, but one problem. The screwdriver is a b**** to get out of the knife! All of the other blades work find, but the screwdriver will not come out unless I use a something like the screwdriver on a SAK to lift it out. I've tried cleaning, oiling, etc. I'm to the point of waving a dead chicken over it... I'm almost annoyed to the point of selling it, but I really don't want to. It's such a nice knife! :-\

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 ???
GMArthur,
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?
2xTap
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.Maybe yours missed quality control ???
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.

I did email them. However there was so many things wrong that I just began fixing the knife myself. I was planning on the knife being a user so I'm not that picky about the little fit and finish issues. I cannot stand getting a dull knife though. 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.
I did get a nice prompt reply from GEC this morning. They said I could send the knife in with a note describing the problem(s) and they would take care of it for me. This is good. It's nice they stand by their product. I'll probably work on the edge a bit more tonight and if I can't get it where i want I'll send it in and let them have a go at it.Keep us updated please mate :tu:
Just a quick update in case anybody still cares.That is poor :-\
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.

ringzero,
Rough Rider slipjoints are some of the best bang for the buck slippies out there and I own a ton of them.....but I can't say for their attempts at a SAK. Don't own one of these and never handled one. Not sure how they are bud.
2xTap
ringzero,
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.
2xTap
That's what I figured. Didn't intend to be critical - was just kidding you about all the myriad RR patterns you buy. ;>
Seems like you buy more knives in month than I'll probably buy in the next several years. ;>

That looks like a fantastic starter knife for kids :tu:
I'm loving the Dark Antique bone one, very nice. :drool:+1 :tu:
OH that is really really gorgeous!
GraysonK,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.
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 pretty much feel the same way as I like to carry folders on a clip, tip up, left hand side... not too much to ask is it? :think:
I didn't realise the SAKs were kind of right handed until someone pointed it out here. It doesn't really impede their use for me though. The thing that really miffs me is my Charge being OH for rightys only :(
I know what you mean about not clicking with something like that. Beautiful as it is (especially that lovely file work), I never end up carrying things like that and getting the best out of them.
I think I regret getting a clip point on it though. The blade shape is just a tad boring I think.
LOL :D My post was meant to read "regret NOT getting a clip point on it" so I'd get a clip point. :D
I'm with Poncho on the sheeps foot, I'm not overtly fond of clip points. Look good but for the stuff I use a blade for not ideal.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I really like it as a spear point. :)

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.

QuoteIf 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.

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.

We'll need pic's in a few day's when you weaken and buy some then :D
Excellent >:D
Oh my :o
You could easily loose at least a month's wages there :gimme:
That's nice :)
Love the Warnies :drool:
Well the couple of ones I had in similar pouches were late 19th and early 20th century. But unless yours has been stored very well I'd suspect its later than that.
That'd make a nice watch pocket knife :tu:
Well, tbh, it wouldn't have mattered if the knife was a total POS, as I thought it was a lovely gesture. The fact that it's actually a nice little knife too is a bonus :tu:
Maybe she could become MTO's first personal shopper :D
Russell did a knife for me under the Taylor Eye witness brand. His stuff is very nice.
That Russell White looks excellent :drool:

sappyg,
I don' think Case lost anything. I've handled many a older Case knife.....but only actually own one myself, a 1978 Case XX 6347 HP SSP Stockman. 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.
case xx stockman dated 1973. never touched a stone, never polished and never carried.

Sazabi,
Nice little collection of Pen Knives you have, ever thought to adding a Eisenhower or two to that collection?
2xTap
stressmaster5000,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.
Now that is a tang stamp I have never seen. Yes....take some pics, I'd like to see those. :tu:

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?
GG,
Nice one bud, CSC makes a good knife. And the Cannitler is a excellent pattern.
2xTap
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.:salute: :tu:
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.

Honestly 2xTap, every time you post I end up looking at buying another traditional slippy. ::) Thanks for sharing mate. :)

Yeah, I just bought two Queen slipjoints yesterday after looking at this thread. These will be the first I've ever bought. I hope I can control myself!
They are also making a slightly larger version in their Dogleg Trapper Jack.........

Just got in this one. Simple, single blade knife from Lockwood Brothers of Sheffield. Cutting edge is 3" but tip to bolster is obviously a touch more, so it's technically OK for excuse free UK EDC, but it's a close run thing. Anyway here are the pics:

NutSAK,
Nice pick up bud. Good old pattern in Sawcut bone. It does look to be in very good condition for it's age, especially since it has CV blades. Fairly light pepper on them, not bad at all.
2xTap
Nice knife Terry :tu: I think the character marks actually add to it.
That's a beautiful pocket knife. :drool:
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.
2xTap
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?
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?
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.
You will not be dissapointed. :tu:
The scales on yours look like they were made from the same material as the yellow buck toothpick I have.
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.
You're a lucky man 2xTap! :cheers: can't wait for all the pics! ;)

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.

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.

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.
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.
Just doing our bit to help the economy Zed and Sean :cheers: :D
I know what you mean about case, they are not pefect, but I love their sodbusters. The case peanut I have came with some minor paint remains on the blade.
I've two Case knives and have never been all that happy with either.
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
and scale material is amazing, which was why it was too bad when I got my examples
in hand. :-\
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….
2xtap, thanks for that reply and thoughts, I'm sure your right and I would give them
another try as it can happen to any manufacturer. I'll give them another go on my
stone and strop when I have some time to dig them out. :)
They did come with a bevel so I used the sharpmaker on them. However, I might just
have to fiddle with the angle a bit something which your limited with on that particular
device.
Here's another I just got recently. This one a new release by Kissing Crane.........

(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.

Zed,
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 ).

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,

I did wonder if the Schrade was made by the same people as the RR's ... the design looks a little TOO similar to the RR stoneworx versions on HH's site ... same scalloped nail nicks, same bolsters, same scale design etc etc
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...
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.
Though I can still not see the main pictures on the screen, I can now click on the thumbnail, below the picture, and see them on image shack :tu: Thanks.

I like the way they've patterned the scales on this one. Very fishy :)
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.

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.

So, are you going to let the blades age naturally or are you going to force a patina?

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.

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.
Oh my, those stockman canoes are beauties!

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.

: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:
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_oxNq_m4khcI/TYyJyd7mKII/AAAAAAAAAVE/4tTa8wSkYx4/s1600/IMG_0501.JPG)
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.
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.
I gave my Humpback Whittler a "tan" last night:
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.
Well, that's good to hear. I have two stainless Cases on the way too!! :D I'll give a little hint: the Swayback got me on a wharncliffe kick. Pictures to follow when they arrive!
Nope! That Copperlock is saweeet though! I don't think anything needs to be said about the Seahorse. Much respect there.
Both knives I bought have the same frame, but one has two blades and the other is a single. You know where I've been buying most of my slip joints, so that's damn near a dead giveaway. ;)

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;
(http://military-knives.110mb.com/images/we/weaauk.jpg)
I have seen these for sale on US Ebay so I reckon they got issued to US soldiers.These knives go for quite a bit.
Their Commando knife is quite well sort after & goes for even more than the utility 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.

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.
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?

Nice additions! You collection is really growing. That McGrew is a neat looking Serpentine Jack, a brand I had never heard of before. Pretty cool! :2tu:

I got my replacements Buck Creek Trapper and Steel Warrior Congress, as well as a new Steel Warrior Doctor’s knife (and a steel warrior Skinner). :mail:
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…
It is shown with some “relatives” a Buck Creek Dirtbuster (see sodbuster..) and a suspiciously similar German Bull Trapper.
:drool: love that congress :tu:
:drool: love that congress :tu:
I was surprised by how nice the doctors knife looked myself, never had one before and I assume I will only use the spatula for spreading butter, but it looks classy.
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.
Ebay is your best friend! :D

Oh yes I forgot about that.... I had a UK account some time ago and it took me ages to realise why I could not order anything with a point.
Amazon.uk has some good prices; I try to catch them when they are low, I got my swisstool for under 50 pounds there about a year ago, but I also got a Micra for 21 pounds, so it depends on the day.
i still remember the old days on ebay :-\

I think sandpaper will make them more collectable ;)
As you know I'm a fan of them but they might disappoint people used to buying a SAK and expecting a perfectly finished knife :-\
These will benefit from a small amount of sanding :tu:
Thanks Zed (I think you saw them last year in another thread) :cheers:
Amici,
Here's a classic I happen to stumble across while doing a little inventory this afternoon, a classic pattern which was once standard issue but no longer.
this slip joint has been with me for years and has seen allot of action, and still has allot of life left.

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.

Friction folders are an acquired taste but I really like them :tu:
Got a new Chinese Kissing Crane SodBuster, one of my favourite patterns. The Case feels the best but the Kissing Crane is not far behind.
Shown with two other practically identical sodbusters and two other similar Kissing Cranes from Italy.

Curse you for showing that Ibberson Hiker! :twak: :D
Now I'm a bit obsessed with it...could you tell me a little more about it please? I've found a US vendor that has them with red handles :ahhh
Thanks for the tip...one with lighter than beartrap springs might be nice though :DDo you need a tow truck to open the can opener on it? :P Mine is a real stinker
I'm in a Marlinespike knife rampage right now and I just received one of the all-metal BAKs. I'd like the plastic handled one too :P
That Backpocket especially looks excellent in that green bone. :tu:
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.

Both nice mate, but the top one is gorgeous. :drool:
OK guys, I didn't want to open new topic, might as well ask that here....
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
I like the Case style of knives, or Buck... What I really need to do is google around to find out the model names... Trapper, Stockman, ect. And I really LOVE how Elephant Toenail and Sun Fish looks... :D :D :tu: :tu:
jerseydevil,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.
Nice grab bud, great little slippie you got there. So what are you eyeing next?

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 for this detailed explanation!! :cheers: :cheers: So as far as I am not hardcore collector, but have a thing for those slippies, and driven with what I have read here I should get some of Case, Queen Cutlery and Great Eastern...

And in the cheaper knives, according to my understanding,
Chinese made slipjoint models of Colt, Indian Head, Buck, Rough Rider, Kissing Crane and possibly others that I do not remember are made by the same people (good quality).
Of the Chinese imports, the Colt line, Buck, Marble's Global Series, Remington, and some others are made by the people that build the Rough Riders. 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.

dks,
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.

dks,thank you. it is quite unusual. I am currently trying to get over my fear of "what if it is not to my liking" and get a GEC, instead of buying several lower priced knives. feel free to send any sugestions in respect to model series or sellers. I am currently having a, shy, look on ebay.
Got yourself a bunch of new toys, nice. That Buck Creek is pretty slick.

@Makaveli - That's nice, clasp knives like that have become favorites of mine at work. How large is it?
very nice, is that their first ever knife?
My brothers and I went out to dinner last night, and as an early birthday present, they gave me a pleasant little surprise:
(http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g448/Jerseydevil379/Texas_jack.jpg)
Case 62032CV small Texas Jack. The F&F on this knife is PERFECT! Not even the smallest gap or blemish on the handles. The smudges on the blades in that pic are simply because I can't stop playing with it! What a nice pair of guys! And I can't believe I just typed that..... :P
That is a very nice collection :tu:

cool, 8) I've got exactly that model swayback on the way too. though I'm waiting for the USPS man, not the UPS man, ...in Germany. :facepalm: so it will be a while yet.
That swayback is :drool: ! I was thinking about getting one, but since I got my Texas Jack I don't really....ah, who am I kidding? :) Is that stainless or CV?CV, i like the nice patina that gets put on CV after some use.
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. :)That swayback is :drool: ! I was thinking about getting one, but since I got my Texas Jack I don't really....ah, who am I kidding? :) Is that stainless or CV?CV, i like the nice patina that gets put on CV after some use.
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.
Very nice! Is the blue one a Mini Trapper? That might be my favorite Case pattern. The Toothpick is sweet too! :tu:
Well, I'm the latest member of the Swayback owners' club. :tu:

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.
There is no mark on the liners on mine. Not sure what that means, though.... :think: This swayback was made in '09, if that helps.I guess its just a cooincidence, it would be strange if case were using pinned shields on their normal knives.
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

I wouldn't be surprised if the Ablett was the tougher of these two to open. I've got a couple of Ablett knives and they're both something you have to put a fair amount of effort into opening; you also need to concentrate on the job or you'll notice the consequences.

If the tiny toothpick is tiny, just how small is the tiny trapper??? Can you show a quarter or something as reference? Thanks. Both are nice little knives, and I like little knives!
I Like the look of that one - bit like a Soldier :)
What's the blade length on it?
I like that Case. :tu: How's the W&T?
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.
Yep, that's a littleun all right! I like little slippies though, I find them to be surprisingly useful. Very nice! :tu:

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. ;)
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.
Very tangerine :D
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:
Looks nice! :tu: Did you see the wrench-head knives they make? I was happily surprised with how good their quality is :)
The doctor's knife is a neat pattern. :tu: I'm gonna have to get another one at some point.
That's a good way to describe it. :tu: How's the F&F, W&T, etc?
If anyone can direct me to somewhere that might have dating info, I'd appreciate it. :tu:

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:

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:
One or two or twelve of those look vaguely familiar..... ;)LOL. Really? Weeeeired...... :D

Oh man, that Case.... :drool:
That knife was gifted to me at a very hard time in my life. It has a great sentimental value. I carry it all the time. Of coarse, I have a soft spot for stockmans and cattle knives.

That's a nice looking knife Gareth. :tu: How large is it?
That Cudeman looks a lot like an Aitor Castor. Are they made by the same company?AFAIK they're not, but I could be wrong. As 50ft says it's a common enough style of modern Spanish knife.
That's a nice looking knife Gareth. :tu: How large is it?
Not big, only around 3" long (closed). Small enough to sit in the bottom of my pocket, yet large enough to still be a practical knife.

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.

: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 either 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.
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
This thread is titled "Show your slip joints" though so we'll need pics. Even cell phone pics will do. Or did you drop it in a lake? :D

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
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

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

Well, after browsing a bit through this thread, I might actually let my SAK stay at home, and carry my old Böker to work, tomorrow. :) Maybe I'll even get time to continue the cleaning of it...

I think he was saying that because this is a slipjoint thread. ok:
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....

An interesting thread from BF, regarding Sheffield knives
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1260767-Round-Yorkshire-With-A-Knife-A-Visit-To-The-Famous-Sheffield-Shop
I'm liking that Stockman Robert :drool:
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.
It is amazing how good yellow looks on traditional knives - buck, case, GEC..
A quick photograph for reference.
Two "23" knives, of similar price, from the two main GEC brands.
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.
Paul,
New toys :tu:
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.
The 23 and 73 are always hard to tell apart without knowing their size
Did I already post this?

Nice Barlow, I had one just like it when I was a kid.
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.
I have, but thanks to you, I am looking through it again now. :D
I noticed your post in the "newest traditional" too, about an hour ago. :D
Wow, a pint size powerhouse!!!! :tu:
I agree with you on almost all points, cbl. I love smaller blades, and tgey see a lot of carry time. I've fallen in love with the Spyderco Manbug, and my CV Case Peanut and penknife get lots of use. :tu: What point do I not agree with? The use of the word hoagie. They're SUBS :P
Wow, a pint size powerhouse!!!! :tu:

The Sardinian resolza is a wonderful knife to have in a pocket. Not just a classy looking knife, but feels soooo good in the hand as well. This one is made by Salvatore Usai and son's.

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.

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.

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.

Many thanks
SakGuy, the springs are fine, the pull is victorinox like, but the movement is a bit grainy - feels like it needs to be flushed with some oil.
smooth enough.

I don't have many slip joints but this one crossed my path and I plan on keeping it and "running it hard".Not bad. Like the klip point blade. Good to cut up some apels and maybe some pere?
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.

Sounds a bit like me and my Barlows. My father has carried the same Schrade Barlow since before I was born, and my first knife was an Imperial Barlow. Both my grandfathers were buried with their Barlows in their pockets because hey, you never know....... :)

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.
Nice whittlers there, and a story to go with. The scales on the Boker are beauty! Lots of character.
I wish I still had my first knife, but it wouldn't be as pretty as either of those. It was a cellidor Vic camper with economy shield.

Just got this Imperial Electricians knife. It was advertised that it had a wooden handle, it doesn't but it's still a cool old knife and I only paid $5 shipped for it. A few swipes on my Lansky turnbox and it's shaving sharp :tu:

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.

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:
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.

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.
Picked these up today
Pruner by Saynor Sheffield England
And the fibre handled knife by (I think) CK (Germany?)

Here's my sentimental slips.
-Most recent is a Father's Day gift from my daughter: Crkt m4-02. Bone handle. I love the simple assisted opening.
-bear&sons USA, Damascus blade red bone jigged handles.
-Cammilus NY, BSA, my very first knife when I was 8. Somehow it has survived. My first mod too haha. Broke the blade tip and tried grinding it down wish I could replace the blade

I carried this Queen Workhorse WH64 today, it's an interesting little single blade knife. They sure have packed the blades in tight but it makes a nice slim package. It's got a composite handle material of some sort & 1095 steel.

Dean, what makes that one different from a canoe pattern?
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.
Nice Whaler there SG!
Great looking WH64 Dean!
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
http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,55891.html
these threads may help
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.
I expressed an interest in whittling and my girlfriend got my this Case wharncliffe whittler in black G10, I like it a lot it's pretty classy. A couple day early birthday present.

I like that sheath & knife combo. :tu: :tu:
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. ::)

Wow!!! What a difference!!! That color looks great!!!!
Lovely scale colour on that Terry. :drool:
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.

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.
I think that all these "Challenges" we are having are great :tu: They leave you either loving or loathing whatever your challenge is by the months end :D

If there's one thing I prefer, it's a wharncliff or sheep's foot blade. They just pop for me as though they mean business. Awesome SG!

Got some new 881's in.....
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz256/SAKGuy/new%20881s%2010-28-16_zps0omjbplx.jpg)
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.

Some Hartkopf blades with ebony handles.I don't know anything about Hartkopf quality but those look good. :tu:
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:

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.

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 found this variation of bucks yesterday,

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

H&R have made some pretty knives over the years, that's for sure. It's always a pleasure seeing their older ones especially.
So here's my Steel Warrior peanut with horn scales;
(http://i.imgur.com/SVkvpVB.jpg)
This would be one of my favorites if the presentation side didn't have such shoddy finish. No gaps, no play, nice brass bolsters... But of course they marred the horn around the shield and rivets.
Ponch, you have some awesome slippies! :gimme:

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.
Barlows are one of my favourite patterns too. That first pic looks like calendar material to me Steve ;)
