Photos Best Slipjoint of 2017 List (Give Away)

[knifeswapper]

It has seemed like a fairly active year in traditional knives. There are never enough slipjoints being produced, but this year has brought a good assortment.

I would like for you to post a photo of your single favorite slipjoint produced in 2017. To make it simple, let's not consider cost in the mix - just your favorite one in hand. Doesn't have to be your picture; but there does have to be a picture of the knife. But just one slipjoint you would give the honor of "Best", no honorable mentions. I know it will be hard and possibly complicated - but please reach deep within yourself to pick just one.

As an incentive I have a #35 Green Banana Bone. It went out into the world and came back tattered and torn by someone that lacked in training for proper care of this poor little fellow. I have cleaned it up and put a new edge on it - now she is ready to go back to a good home.



We'll see if we can have a mod pick a post by random next Saturday (12/16). We only ship inside the U.S. - but I am sure someone will help out if the winner is from somewhere else.

Many thanks!

This is very generous of you, Mike, thanks for the chance. I would give that poor little banana a good home, for sure!

I believe the best slipjoint produced in 2017 (that I have in hand) is the Guardian's Lambfoot in buffalo horn, made by A.Wright & Son, Sheffield England.

Bought this one from you sir! knifeswapper

Its also my favorite of 2017. Thanks for the chance at a give away!

Tooting my own horn - well, GEC's horn actually, this guy carries light and slim, but functions like a much larger knife! I think it will prove to be considered a great knife in future years!!

Thanks for the cool giveaway, Mike!! I don't often enter them, but, I never thought I'd feel sorry for a Banana!
I too would like to give it a good home!!

This is my favorite from 2017. Gets carried almost every day.

I have many more that I bought in 2017 that are my knife of the year, this this would be it, if we’re specifically talking about knives made in 2017.

 

[Danke42]

Has to be this one!

 

[solphilos]

Not an entry, but if I did it would be the #35 Churchill. Someone will be getting a great knife; the #35 is a fantastic daily carry and I hope that cool and funky banana gets the home it deserves this time. Good luck gentlemen

I posted a custom in Jack Black’s thread, but as for production knives, I liked the GEC 25 spearpoints. Especially the model with polished stag.

 

[hamsco]

The BF knife for 2017 is my favorite. Thanks Mike

 

[T. Erdelyi]

If I had to pick the best of 2017 it would have to be the Natural Micarta GEC TC BFC SFO Barlow.

There have been a lot of great knives this year.
If I had to pick a favorite I would give the nod to this one. Always wanted a slip joint with M390 and the rams horn is gorgeous

 

[WhittlinAway]

Thanks for offering this generous giveaway, Mike. I’ll add another vote for the Guardians Lambsfoot.

Good luck to all who enter. I’m looking forward to seeing other folks’ choices!

That is a great offering, I'm in Mr. Latham. As far as 2017 productions go, my vote would be this Northwoods Lincoln Jack.

The Case seahorse whittler in lovely green bone

 

[kamagong]

This is an easy one. The GEC #74 Stallion. I waited years for GEC to make a proper single blade clip point.

 

[black mamba]

Thanks for the opportunity, Mike!

My favorite knife made in 2017 is the elk stag #74 Stallion in 440C. WE NEED MORE GEC STAINLESS !!
