I'm starting a canoe sub-collection. So far I have 2 Case canoes, but looking to diversify to other makers. Any recommendations for a nice canoe?
 
Gec made a canoe. I don't have one but I saw them on their listing.

You gonna make a canoe club post. I think you should, it's a very ..under the radar knife type around these parts

Thanks - will do
 
I thought I had more but off the top of my head, I have three (3)

Case Antique Smooth Bone
Schrade Wostenholm Stag 1980
Schatt & Morgan Emerald Green Bone 1996

I like the S&M because the blades are more in line with the handle (not droopy) and a bit more pointy

... and since this thread needs pics ...

New; Inexpensive, but excellent quality, blades have a good heat treat.
Marbles (mine has genuine Ramshorn covers)
Rough Rider/Rough Ryder (440A stainless steel, or T10 carbon steel blades in the Classic Carbon and Classic Carbon 2 series.
Buck 389
Used:
Camillus, (mine is branded "Remington")
(Taylor Schrade) Hammer Brand (bottom, red jigged bone covers and bomb shield is a 4 blade gunboat whittler)
Colt (was moved to the Rough Rider line, with basically a different shield and tang stamp when SMKW lost the license a few years back when Colt exited the cutlery market)

You might enjoy looking through these canoe threads, each of which has a large number of posts:
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/row-row-row-your-canoe.1130051/
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/order-of-the-canoe.1455315/

If you use the Search function and enter "Canoe" as a search term, select "This forum" (instead of "Everywhere") as the place to search, and check the box for "Search titles only", you should get about 4 pages of links to titles of threads that include the word "Canoe".

(This might actually be a link to the results of that search: Canoe Search Results
IIRC, I've never tried linking to search results, so I don't know if this actually works... Hey, it does!)

Canoe collection is up to 3. I set my mind on getting 1 canoe per month - at least for the next year or so. I need to diversify out of the Case brand, but non Case canoes are tough to find.

I look forward to seeing what you add, Ron.

Amherst Cutlery Canoe, a gift from Nature Boy Nature Boy , lives in the center console of my car (to me that is a place of distinction, since I am often reaching for car knives).

I made a list of the canoes mentioned in this tread, and in the threads linked in this thread. I'm going to try to hunt down the canoes mentioned and add them to my collection.

Here's my January canoe - a 1980 Schrade Wostenholm
