A clip by another name....

[W.M.B.]

I know there are a few different styles of clip point blade, with their distinctive names. Some of them I can name easily enough, but I don't know what to call this one. Can you help me, please?

Here's a good guide for blade types from the 1946 Camillus Catalog...

I thought it was a variation on a spey blade, but it looks like the maize to me. That is my brand new Utica premium big pine stockman, still made in Utica new York.

Thank you also, but for some reason I cannot open the link. I have no computer, only my phone, so that might be the problem.

To me that looks like the type of clip blade commonly called a "clip blade".

You can find them under Cotton Sampler pattern name made by various makers. Not a common pattern anyway.

LOL! That was my thought exactly John! :thumbup:

GEC calls that style of a clip a regular clip, as opposed to their often used muskrat clip, or seldom used sabre clip.

 

[W.M.B.]

Ok then, thanks.
What seemed unusual about the particular blades in my photo was the way the blade widened, being almost triangular with a pronounced apex along the spine.
This is very different than, say a buck 110, where much of the length of the blade edge is parallel to the spine, if you understand what I mean.
I've never handled a GEC, and don't know much about them.

Ahh snap, another on the must have list, I really like the more unusual antique blades

 

[W.M.B.]

Here are my clip points. You can easily see a few variants. The California clip versus the turkish, versus the buck 110, versus the ones I was asking about. The 321 muskrat hardly looks like a clip point to me, but I included it for the sake of completeness.
The case copper lock is the closest modern equivalent I have handled. It is clearly different from the case stockman above, but I think both might be called a"standard clip"or something like that. I think the difference is more than the long pull and swedge, also.

Very useful that A.G. Russell glossary, fine illustrations, shows the variations although in some cases it's more nuance. I had a job to tell Spey from Budding except in the context of the knife.

Thank you very much!
I was able to open this one.

Thanks for the help Frank, not sure why my link wouldn't open for him, possibly due to the code to make it so it doesn't show the whole thingy? but it's a good bit of info right there.
