I believe I will carry Opinels a bit more that month as well :cheers: I will mix them in with some others I have :salute:

Also I believe except for Victorinox Pioneers or Soldiers and Wenger SI models, SAK really aren't allowed as we have so many other challenges that those do have :think: :cheers: Of course Nix has final call but I think that is something that we have established over the years :shrug:

In prior challenges, namely the 2016 one, no SAKs were allowed at all, not even Soldier/Soldat/Pioneer models.  It could certainly be argued that, prior to the 1961 models, they were built in a traditional fashion, but they were ruled out of the challenge due to the fact that they're in other challenges, as you mention.

EDIT: I see Steve beat me to it.  ;)

Since it has never been brought up and we have several members with these now... The Christy knife is one I have been carrying lately and has been in production since 1936 (relatively unchanged  I might add ;) ) will it be allowed in this challenge  :think:



I would say yes :whistle: but will leave final call up to Nix and some of you other trad aficionados  :D

I have to recuse myself and defer to those who are the standard bearers for the Traditional category. I'm not expert enough to make that call.  :D

I'd agree that given its longevity and unchanging nature the Christy could be a traditional. It is not what I picture when I think of a "traditional", but in thinking about it, I'd say "heck, yeah."

So I'll second the motion to permit the Christy, but, again, I defer to wiser heads.   :tu:

I have plenty of trads to pick from if this doesn't get voted in and will likely do as I always do and carry many different ones :cheers:

Having been carrying, using and researching the Christy knife the last couple of months. This is a question I've pondered many times as to whether the Christy qualifies as a traditional knife or not. Most traditional knives are considered as slip joint or as the English called them spring knives which I think is a better term. There were other type knives in use during this time frame also. Since I seldom like to take the long way around the barn when you can walk straight thru it. So when all things are considered I think the Christy does qualify as a traditional knife. The purist among us will surely squall but so be it. Let'um squall. Since this Challenge is to honor Dean I might suggest along with Steve to carry regular traditional knives as much as possible when you can along with your Christy if you choose to use the Christy.   :tu:      :D

Ok, cool  :woohoo: I will carry as many different ones as I can :salute: but if I happen to forget another trad then the Christy will still be there :cheers:

Dean would like that it is stainless steel but might not like that we don't know what kind :D
