Hello folks. I don't often get over here to the Trad forum as I'm really "into" the single blade, thumbstud/flipper, pocketclip type knives
Even though, I also carry a slipjoint and the slipjoint ends up doing about 99% of what I need a knife for....go figure! I believe the large Gunstock is my favorite pattern from Case. I like the fact you have a long spear and a short pen blade. I also just like the way the butt of the knife swells and that this patern is double bolstered as that gives it a little bit more heft and thus a more solid feel to me. I have already collected a few of these; a couple of Case Brothers in different handle material(can't remember the materials), a MOP, a "Duke" version, an orange handle version, and just today a dark red w/silver script that has been retired by Case. All are the large pattern. So with 5 Gunstocks, and 1 Barlow, I guess the Gunstock IS my favorite! Any of you guys favor this pattern? I'm thinking about going with a couple of Queen's and I think that Canal does a gunstock also.
