Hooked on Slippies

[Sauconian]

I recently decided that I LOVE slip joints!!! I recently bought and have been EDCing a Mike Alsdorf Interframe Jack. I ordered an other Aolsdorf, AND I have talking with Jerry Halfrich abut a knife!! B]

Those young pure breds are great, but don't overlook adopting an older, homeless knife as well.

I'm always willing to provide a home for a knife while it lives out its golden years.

TKC, welcome to a terrific forum. Good, tolerant, and compassionate people are a tradition here. They even let me hang out and make bad puns and goat jokes....I rest my case.

Btw, if you must get hooked, at least with a traditional addiction, your treatment of choice will be around for awhile.

Anyone using that as a sig line should be here (in this forum feeling right at home), enjoying slipjoints and making new friends. .

Welcome to the fold Suz!

I agree with Bastid and I've always admired your signature line. It's obvious you've been a closet slipjoint fan all along and just didn't realize it.

Welcome aboard!

I started collecting customs, picked up a few, then production and benchmade. Then I found an Samual Barlow and it's been mostly antiques, and more productions ever since.
If it's bone, stag wood brass, nickel silver, steel, ect., ect. Than this is the place. Welcome.
I like your sig also....

Nice dog Hawk. If I could figure out how I'd put up a pic of my little yellow lab.

Welcome aboard to the final stage of the knifeknut disease!

Just be warned, if you go through the entire thread that Vince linked, your wallet is going to be in serious trouble. If you think something like an XM-18 is expensive, wait until you start buying knives from Tony or Reese Bose, or any of a large group of the high end custom slipjoint makers. I haven't been able to afford one yet, but they sure are equisite.

About time you got here....

LOL!!

Thank you all for the welcome!!

Ahhhhhh, feels like home!!

Oh, I HAVE been looking at Tony & Reese Bose knives.

 

[T.K.C.]

Yeah, I hear ya on the Bose thing.

All this is Mike Alsdorf's fault!!! This is how this all got started. I have gone and ordered another Alsdorf. Then someone posted a gorgeous Halfrich knife....Well, I am talking with him. What can I say?

My Alsdorf has been my small Dog Paws Sebbie's companion ever since it arrived.

I started coming around here a while back...now I'm unloading tacticools as fast as I can to support my slippie habit.

I love the traditiontal knives. My first pocketknife was a gift from my Grandfather when I was 5 years old. My Mother was not happy about this but my Dad was on my side as much as he could be. Lord, but I had great parents and grandparents and family but I digress. Knives are my love and passion and I do not think you can do any better with traditional slip joint knives. I have a lot of tactical knives including Sebenzas and mnandi and Spydercos and benchmades but I feel more drawn to the traditional side of knives. Traditional knives seem to work better for me anyway. Some of my favorite patterns are Congress and Swayback Jacks along with Canoes. I really love this forums and brings back such good memories. I hope you enjoy it here T.K.C. BTW, I have enjoyed you posts and very beautiful photos. I am a Dog Lover myself with a Flat Coated Retriever as my companion until my wife comes home. Then I have to share him. I am retired so Jake is good company to me.

There is just something about them there slippies that grab ya,
welcome to the fold!

And you could do with a Tony Bose, or at least a Case/Bose collaboration
they are very well made.

I think I am catching the disease as well. I now have 7 Case baby butterbeans (with 3 more on the way). And yesterday I got an older Case mini trapper.

Now I find myself looking at other Case patterns online, some GEC knives and....

It does not stop. One more seems to be my motto.
