I had been carrying my grandfathers Northwoods and gotten used to having it in my pocket until I almost lost it the other day. Now it stays home, but I can’t get used to having a pocket clip again. I’m back to getting caught on things and scratching paint. What slip joints do you all carry?
A thread that caught my attention! Slipjoints!!! My grandfather was a no nonsense guy with a flair for the ordinary. From him I inherited a love for a pocket knife...a slipjoint. The older, the better. I usually carry one of these, or two. Or others.
GEC makes quality stuff, as does Smith Brothers. For an affordable, replaceable, sharpenable blade I like a Case sodbuster in carbon steel.
I've never been a huge slipjoint guy, but there are two that have REALLY caught my attention lately. Benchmade Proper and the Lionsteel CK01 series of knives
That Lionsteel Barlow sheepsfoot is one model in particular that I've looked at quite a bit. A cool mix of modern and traditional, and with M390 steel!
I usually have this guy in my pocket all the time I got bit by the traditional bug a while back and got this guy it is traditional with a modern twist.
If I could only keep one folder, theres a very good possibility it would be my case trapper. Its the yellow delrin version in carbon steel, so nothing fancy l, but there has never been a situation where I've used it and wished for anything more.
I had a really really nice TIDOUTTE slippy a couple years ago......double blade........i just didn't use it like i had thought i would. just too much into my big fixed blades....... although i would like to get another slip joint soon.
I was going to post here until I saw yours. I then said forget about it, nobody needs to see mine after that.
I have a couple of Hen and Rooster knives with that blade on 'm, they called it a Californian Spey blade iirc. It's very usefull for spreading peanutbutter or creamcheese or somerhing like that on a sandwich : D The tip isn't showing in this pic but it the same blade profile.
