Day 1

I got a good feeling about this challenge, there's already some real beauties and it's just the first day!
Here's mine, a Case 3-spring medium Stockman — one of my favorite patterns.



I've noticed that the spey blade works particularly well for removing those plastic bracelets at the hospital.
May it be as the Pattern has chosen.

Day 1

The spey blade is always my most used blade when carrying a stockman.  It's great for any cutting duty where you need to be careful not to damage (stab) anything around your cut.

Like...  speying for instance...   ;) :D

Traditional Challenge Day 2

#07 Case Mini Trapper single stainless Wharncliffe blade, second cut antique bone scales

Honestly, I don't carry this one as much as I should because I favor traditional slipjoints with at least 2 types of blades.  This single blade frame sure makes it slim and easy to carry though.  The grind on this one is slightly hollowed and it's a mean slicer.

Given how many times I've pried, scraped, and (rarely) drove screws with that screwdriver blade on an electrician's knife, I wouldn't change it.   I myself have been surprised how much force I've put behind the screwdriver/stripper blade while prying without damaging the blade.

I'm on the fence at the moment. This Imperial isn't as stout as the camillus model. The blades are much thinner and the scales are stamped metal with a plastic insert so I'm not sure how it would hold up to heavy prying.

I would do it like you want...it's not like there isn't dozens of Camillus versions to pick up off the bay to fill the Electrician role. I would be an easy way to get a nice two bladed Jack out of it.

Sound reasoning and I also have this on the way   :tu:

Another Imperial but with wood scales this time, which is what i thought I was getting on the first one  :facepalm:

Got my lambsfoot/wharncliffe again.  Quiet day for it today - just opening a couple of packages and slicing some fruit so far.

Have ordered a couple of cheap trad knives to try for the rest of the month too: a Sodbuster and a Barlow.   :oops: :D

I disliked the original idea but it turned out really cool! Great shape, the cut on the spine is great for guiding the tip for precision cutting.

:hatsoff:  :tu:


Took a simple navaja-like folder. Locking blade, very light and small. The little flap on the top is the release. The regular EDC Rally is for size comparison.
