Those Waynorth lambsfoots are extraordinary, especially the jigged bone. But I opted for the Barlow. Magnificent knife. In my pocket now.
My favorite pattern for function is the santuko. Second in line in that regard is a slender fixed blade 3 to 4 inches in a puukko or birdntrout type. For reasons of concealibiity and portability and multiple bladeability I like about a hundred different kinds of folders. Edit: Sorry- I didn't go back to see the title of the thread. Well, then, a dogleg jack.
Vince, it sounds like a "truly improved trapper" for you would be the so-far-mythical spey/lambsfoot trapper! Here's a link to some mini trapper versions (Post #117), courtesy of @waverave and his Photoshop skills: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/traditional-knife-photoshop-fun.1617537/page-6#post-18545604 - GT
No such thing as an improved trapper! Ideal carry is a trapper on my belt and a lambsfoot--SINGLE BLADE--in my pocket. Covers all bases.
Next, I suppose you're going to stubbornly stick to your claim that the Astros are the best team in baseball this year! - GT
They just whupped the Rangers 12-4, and certainly have a great chance to win it all this year. I think it will be another showdown with the Yankees, and then we will see the Dodgers lose their third World Series in a row!
Thanks - it's a mod I do to factory muskrats ... the nail nick position sets up perfectly to form into a wharncliffe. I've done this to several others knives - PM me if interested. John
I know that's why I posted it lol. ✌ I thought the subject was a good one and I didn't realize anybody would mind if I did.
Not really a slipjoint pattern but it is a traditional pattern is the lockback. I have always preferred single bladed knives and the lockback gives me an extra level of protection.
Thank you, Vince. It's actually an old pic, and a few of those are no longer mine. I have more than are pictured, way too many, really. It's just such a great total package: the serpentine shape fits the hand wonderfully and the three distinct blades give tremendous utility.
Love that Schrade Heritage! I gave the same knife to my oldest son many years ago. His year of birth was 1983.
