Canoe pattern with long pull

[kniferbro]

I'm a huge fan of a spear blade with a long pull and swedge (like GEC EZ Open Jacks). But I really like the handle shape of the canoe. Does anyone have any suggestions of a canoe with a long pull on the main blade and possible a swedge?

I know Queen made one in collaboration with Joe Pardue that fits your bill. I don't know if it is curently in production. There is a the CASE gunboat, but I don't recall swedges. There are old EYE brands and Obertz made canoes from long ago that have the long pulls on them. And to test out the pattern, Rough Rider offers a few models exactly as you described.

I am sure there are others.

I have one of those Colt canoes and it is very well made. I like it. Here's a picture of mine:

I have one also, I liked the scales, did yours come in a really nice felt box with magnetic flap?

Yes, it did. Best regular production knife box I can remember getting with the exception of the Gerber Paul box I got years ago. Case has put out some nice boxes but the knives in them are over $100. I think I paid $23 shipped for my Colt. A bargain for sure.

Thanks for the replies, I'll check out the Colt. TLARbb, if I could get my hands on a Mutz Canoe like yours I would forget about the long pull!

I found the Case Baby Butterbean and it seems like exactly what I'm looking for, but do they only have the "baby" version no full sized? They seem pretty rare too...

I remember mine being short money, quality is nice for the price, if I remember it's 420HC, has not seen any real pocket time, but if the TOTM is a canoe I'll carry it.

The Colt's are 440-A, made in the same factory as the Rough Riders-- good stuff.

I just googled it, and most sites list it as 420, some don't lst the steel at all. You know everything on the Internet is true

Case produces limited runs with long pulls and swedges in their 'Case XX Select' line. Basically, these are standard Case models & materials, but with additional enhancements & embellishments, like special tang stamps & shields. They made a 'Select' version of the Canoe (pattern 62131 SSM) back around 2000 or so. It features the long pull on the main spear blade, and also swedging.

This pic is from a completed auction listing on the 'auction site'. That might be one place to look for a few of these still floating around.
