Cutlerylover

Seems like 'cutlerylover' on youtube is getting the traditional slipjoint fever, in particular the mini toothpick pattern. Good to see vids on some traditionals!

Glad to see this thing. We need more traditional knife reviews in you tube.

I wasn't to happy with his Case Tiny Toothpick video. Said they are not usable but more collectible knives.

I had to turn the video off at that point. :grumpy:

BTW Check out my lastest Russlock EDC video. Beautiful knife that was given to me by none other then SunnyD. :thumbup:

You can't go from tacticool to slipjoint cold turkey. I can attest to that. I'm sure over time he'll realize that a knife like a tiny toothpick or peanut can cut just as well as the one-handed frame-lock black coated milspec knife they've been invested in for years.

hey guys...and gal, I have always had an appreciation for slipjoints that goes way back to pre-youtube...I do think they are functional knives and people have used them for hundreds of years with no problems its all a matter of using the right tool for the job, but when I want to bust out a knife and rip open a box, its a lot more efficient with a modern folder, I still occasionally carry a slippy for fun I do feel they are classier knives...

Slippies make good dress knives IMO. Can't exactly wear your Spyderco Civilian in an Armani.


....well I mean you COULD..

It's true, slipjoints are often classier.
I've been thinking and sketching to try my hand at knifemaking myself (main blocking factor is that I live in an apartment), and to date making elegant slipjoints is what tempts me the most.
