All About Pocket Knives

Bkazz post you're referring to is over 6 years old. His knife is for sure not a 29-1/2 because it doesn't have a curved frame. I've never heard of the 06 being called a Tadpole. The tadpole is the 29-1/2.

Sorry, didn't notice that post being so old.

I've done the same thing myself. Just trying to re-focus the discussion on the new post by lilrooster which I responded to. As for your comment about the info on the 06 pattern in the "Research" section here, it is incorrect. The 06 partner's length is in fact 2-5/8 inches, not 2-3/8. Possibly a typo error. As for the 06 being called a "Tadpole" , I can't say it has never happened but I've never heard it called a Tadpole before.

Here's three Tadpoles that I have.

They are very nice little, big, knives.

Thanks Steve.
They are a very nice small pocket carry with two blades.

I hope you can find one (or two) you like Steve.

Hey Gents,

Steve, Joe's analogy of "little big knife' I totally am on board with. Sounds odd but they are tight and snappy little jacks that feels like someone shrunk a big Jack. Kind of like a 27 frame stockman in my opinion. I have a few and they are cool little stockmans.

Joe, nice ones. Thanks for sharing. Interesting to see difference in the slick black examples you and I posted in regards to nail nick and stamp. Likely Cutler's choice or different blade be stock batch used.

Hope life finds you both well. Jerry

Thank you, Jerry.

Hey, that little 33 on the bottom ain't bad either.
