Nice lineup! I didn’t know that Cold Steel ever made a folding hunter pattern knife.

Winterbottom jigged delrin. Top one is a Queen. Bottom is an S&M

A Schrade 804 whittler, 1960's or so.

Cold Steel made a whole line of slip joints.
Well, as we know, CS didn’t actually make stuff, they branded it.
The SJ line was, IIRC, made by Camillus (as was much of their line) in Carbon V steel whose alpha-numeric name I’m no longer sure of. 0176-C?

Thank you for the info. I actually have the Carbon V Stockman, but didn’t realize that there were other patterns. My stockman is a very solid example.

Traditional plastic friends... Trying to decide on a Stockman 47 pattern that's going be a user. Looking for an inexpensive version of my favorite stockman, and came up with these.

White smooth synthetic with the stars/stripes shield, or the red G-10... Both stainless.

I have a couple yellow synthetics and I like them well enough, but not married to them. I do like the shield on the white one.

G10 probably feels better in the hand, but do I need another red knife? lol....

Any input either way? Especially if you have the red G-10 handles on anything. Thanks!

The prevailing "Wisdom" here will no doubt say: "Get both!"

Personally, I'd go with the white one. The red is "too red" for my "taste" ... or lack thereof.

And how about the original, some old celluloid.

I don't want to derail the Harness Jack thread anymore, talking about celluloid, so I'll just put this here.

We were discussing this sweet little Harness Jack with striped celluloid. According to waynorth :

"A Camillus punch for sure!! And that Celluloid is a stack of alternating sheets, thin black and colorful ones, stacked, fused, and sliced sideways!!!"

By shear coincidence, I was moving some clutter around today and found this little pen knife that had fallen behind a box. I must have bought it at a flea market or somewhere because I didn't have any knives with the PocketEze shield, and the cell is really pretty. Unfortunately, only the little pen blade remains. It does snap solidly, so I think I'll sharpen it and use it for sharpening pencils.

The celluloid is amazing. Hard to photograph, but from different angles the color shifts from red to bright gold. Some sort of laminating process I assume...
