How can you be criticized? What's not to like?toomanyknives wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 2:12 am Love y'alls choices, Modern and Jerry. I'm not familiar with a Case 62 pattern, Modern. What kind is that? I like those folding hinters a lot.
Jerry, you know I love the 72 and the 07. They are two of my all time favorites.
Now you've started a whole different part of my brain going, Lansky! I have a ton of knives I won't carry because I'm afraid I'll damage or lose them.Lansky1 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 1:06 pm There are only a very select few knives I love, but don't carry. These are fairly scarce, and I know I couldn't replace for what I paid for them. i.e. a mint Case R61093 - I got for $50 ... haven't seen one for under $140. A Case R6154 - same, got it for under $50 - couldn't replace it for anywhere close to that, even if I could find one. I only have a handful of GEC's and the only one I won't carry is a 2 blade congress, St. Paddy's day acrylic - got it for $70 & can't be replaced at any cost - just don't ever see them ... knife is amazing. Lastly, an appaloosa single blade peanut - amazing color ... got that for $30 & one pops up on the bay maybe once a year and it's always well over twice that... I guess the bottom line is the rare one's I really got deals on hold a special sentimental place & it's ok for those to stay put.
Different topic for sure. This Buck 301 only gets carried around the house even though it was my first Stockman. It created in me the Stockman bug that still afflicts me today and is the knife that caused me to be a Buck Knife man first and foremost. My late Grandma gave it to me (for Christmas I think) in December 1972, she has been gone since 1989 and I couldn't bear to lose this knife - it stays in the box except for the rare days it rides in my pocket at home (were it can be found if dropped).

I'd love to see a picture of that single blade 54 Trapper. I like single blade knives. I have a single blade Copperhead that I love..
I too like the single blade knives ! Like the slimness, light weight & for whatever minimal tasks I do these days, one blade is enough. Here's the ones I referenced above ...toomanyknives wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 2:38 pmNow you've started a whole different part of my brain going, Lansky!

Nice, OH. I carry a 303 a bit and it's a winner.Old Hunter wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 4:04 pmDifferent topic for sure.

Wow. I really like that 6154, Lansky! You're right, you don't see many. I see lots of Trapperlocks, which are nice too...Lansky1 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 7:53 pmI too like the single blade knives !

With you there Glennbad. My fixed blades usually only see the woods. I have a few single blade Barlows that are starting to see more pocket time.
You're right toejammer. They do have that "bad boy" image. Yet people carry tons of tactical knives that could inflict much more damage.Toejammer wrote: ↑Fri Nov 20, 2020 7:18 pm Italian stiletto's. Love em ! But they have that 1950's Sal Mineo switchblade stigma to them, so I don't even chance it. Even though none of mine are autos, they do tend to make the sheep nervous.
My new herd. Had over 20 before the "2018 purge" happened. Slowly working my way back. I don't have the $$ for expensive ones, so I stick with the more affordable offerings. Honestly, I really like the old 1970's tourist trade stiletto's from Italy, back when you could bring a few back on the plane ride home !!
That's a cool collection you have though!That's a fantastic knife, Jacknifeben! I should know it, but can't quite make out the tang stamp.

Man, those are beautiful knives! Thanks for the reply!Jacknifeben wrote: ↑Sat Nov 21, 2020 7:01 pm That is one of my old Jack Knife Ben knives from Union stock yards back in the early 1900,s built by Napanoch. Here is the other pattern from the same time frame. Notice the punch blade.

What does age have to do with it? Go for it! Enjoy 'em while you can!!Jacknifeben wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 1:53 pm Nice knives, if I wasn’t to old I think I would expand my collection to Schrade.
Back on page 2 you caught my typo. Most of us know Case's Folding Hunter is their 65.

Ahh, gotcha! I had a cheap S&W that I carried a lot a few years ago. It said Made in USA on it. I had my doubts, but it was a great knife until I lost it! I hate when that happens!Modern Slip Joints wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 12:31 amBack on page 2 you caught my typo. Most of us know Case's Folding Hunter is their 65.

Today I'm carrying a knife that I do not even like slightly, a new $10 S&W that is supposed to be spring assisted but the blade is so tight that it has to be opened manually. A minor problem with my dominant side thumb has it in a splint. It's awkward opening my traditional slip joints with my off side hand, hence the S&W. I could dig out my much easier to open Buck Alpha Hunter but I'm cycling the S&W hoping it will loosen up enough to function. If it doesn't it's going back to the retailer. Suckers for $10 knives are smart sticking to ones they can handle before buying or return easily.
I'm thinking about making my back yard belt knife a Folding Hunter for the winter. That won't happen until after the splint is off.
