It is worth it.. trust me LOL! I own a lot of slipjoints, customs, mid techs. There is a reason this won best of show.

Also there is a 6 month wait.. so better get on the list.

The Case 3254 Trapper with yellow delrin/composite covers has always been considered a traditional knife. Well, now Case offers it as a 3254C with a clip on it. I'll not post a picture of it because it doesn't qualify as a traditional knife in that configuration.

It seems that some modern knife manufactures are trying to make inroads to the traditional market and some traditional manufactures are trying to make inroads to the modern market as Elliott implied with his statement above - "One might argue that it's a modern take on the sodbuster pattern.".

To add to that, Case is adding the "Kickstart" which is a Mid-Hunter that has a clip, thumb studs, AND assisted opening.
 
I am excited about this knife. It will be a while before I get one, but it is a slipjoint and a Bill Harsey design. Since my collection is mostly Harsey designs, this is exciting news indeed.
 
I looked it up, it is indeed a Harsey design. In the CRK page, they even have the person holding the knife wearing a hickory shirt :D
 
just judging from the pictures, it seems pretty thin behind the edge.. if so, I'll probably end up getting one.

With the pocket clip removed, I don't see much difference between this knife and a full Ti Pena knife. If one is excepted here, why not the other?

For one,traditional slipjoints don't come with removable pocket clips.--KV

I will post a picture later in the day with the insert in the knife. You will see it covers it perfectly.

I have not seen anyone post a pic of the knife without the pocket clip yet and with the insert installed. So maybe hold on and wait till that gets shown first before making any judgments.
 
They both have backsprings. Interesting design, and with the clip removes it qualifies as traditional in my opinion. That is pricy, but it will be very precisely made with top tier materials.

While I'm not familiar with Mr. Pena's work, I would have the opinion that a knife made totally from titanium is hardly a "traditional" knife due to the material it was made from.--KV
