any hard use slippies outthere

[Warriorsociologist]

I may be getting lost in semantics but I've been trolling ebay for a canoe and I'm now wondering what the difference is between a normal Canoe that is about 3 5/8" closed and a Gunboat Canoe, besides the extra blade in the Gunboat? I'm drawn to the Canoe because I like the blade shape, seems sturdy, and with just two blades, it has a slimmer profile, thus making it a more comfortable pocket carry.

My thoughts exactly. I've since sold my railsplitters and gunboats and kept all my single backspring canoes... If I want bigger, I usually step up to the >4" stockmans and trappers.

just getting into slipjoints,got me a nice GEC,but i dont see any pics of them in use,,i would like to use it to dress out game ,maybe some camp chores,anyone got any pics or advice?????

Hey buddy! If it's the GEC 23L you recently got you'll be good to go to dress out game and do some camp chores. It'll take care of you. I don't think you'll miss the buck 110 or the small fixed blade as far as use when it comes to the GEC 23L.

Zippin, the gunboat canoe is over 4" long. It is much different than a regular canoe. It is more like their Jumbo stockman.
