Besides SAK's I need more slippies with saws

IH8U · Mar 13, 2008

Like the title says, I'm looking for a traditional slipjoint folder with a single blade and saw and I don't want another SAK. I'm putting together my trade list to acquire one that i like.

So far I have come up with these few:

Case Hunter Trapper (nice, but I'm not keen on the gut hook)
Boker Hunting blade & saw (perfect, but expensive)
eyebrand sod buster with saw (not bad)
Schrade OT buzz saw trapper (cheap, but I would need to find a US version)

Are there any other brands out there that would fit my needs?

Weidmannsheil make a stag scaled knife with a saw and a spear point blade in carbon.Check on e-bay.

I've got an old Puma lockback with clip point blade and saw. I don't know if Puma still makes them, or what current quality is like.

Thanks for the suggestions, I guess there are not a whole lot out there. I like that Weidmannsheil, I have never heard of that brand before a bit pricey but I might be able to swing it.

I think I have found the Puma you are referring to, looks like a good user. I will have to do some more research on that one.

Mikov has a number of knives with saws (some Auto, some lockback, some with other tools). It can be a challenge to find them though and they are more expensive than SAKs.

How about this Remington?

The Remington was made by Camillus, I believe. I have one that is the "Official Boy Scout Knife", or so it says (etched) on the blade. The saw is VERY aggressive, and works very well, but there is some play in both the main and saw blade. You might find one on eBay for a decent $.

Since you asked for slippies with saws I didn`t know any.
But as all the knives mentioned are lockbacks or automatics I`d recommend Diefenthal knives. Weidmannsheil is also made by Diefenthal!

Bit pricey but excellent knives. :thumbup:

Very nice drop of stag there Wolfgang!

Any ideas about buying Weidmannsheil direct from Olbertz Germany? I've been very pleased by the ones I own, but they've been on ebay.

@willgoy

Why not try here?

The most various Diefenthal models I`ve found to date are on this website:

Perhaps there might be a chance to order with Diefenthal directly? Could be worth a try.

In case you need any help just let me know and I`ll do my best.
