If you could only keep one.... traditional slipjoint- what would it be?

p.s. it's #3. Coincidence?... Nope the knife Gods were smiling :D
 
either my Cocobolo folding hunter ( 5.25" closed) Queen D2, or my GEC Northfield spiral horn in 1095 (4.5" closed w/liner lock)

Fistful of awesome indeed. That thing is COOL! :eek: For sanity's sake, I must continue to refuse that any such thing as a Tony Bose knife exists. I see nothing!
 
Unamaginable!!!

...but if...it would be either Case yellerhandle CV medium stockman or Shrade 89OT.
Both 3 blades so there would be enough blades to hopefully last the rest of my life.
 
While I love my Queen stockman and my Cold Steel stockman, if I had to choose ONE, (putting aside my dad's knife. Not fair to count that one), I think I would have to choose a standard Buck 301. It has the best combination of properties I have found in a working knife. Stainless steel that takes a fine edge and holds it reasonably well (better than Tru-Sharp). In a pocket knife, the Buck 420HC is the closest match to the performance of alloy steel that I have found in a stainless steel.
 
g.e.c. single blade,mdl.23, 1095 in bubinga wood.rick that rem. jack is the most mint rem i've seen in 30 yrs. the paper may be worth 75$
 
I have to agree that the CPU cannot process this request.

I mean, good grief, I've got three on me right now!
 
AG Russell/Hen&Rooster Vest Pocket Skinner. Don't have one yet, but until I do I'll keep carrying my Case mini-copperhead. Love that little guy, and usually carry it along with a larger EDC (so as not to frighten the office folks, you know).
 
My 61OT I carry it several times a week. It's my favorite.

Oh by the way this is not my picture, but it is my knife.
 
i have posted it many times on here so bear with me, my grandads early 70's camillus #26 hunter and a sheath made by a friend of his... means the world to me as it was my first real pocket knife at 14 or so... got it shortly after he died in the mid 80's
i have others that were his but this one is the one.
But what kind cruel test is this:eek: i'm gonna need something with a yeller handle too!!!

I think I would have a different answer for each of 100 days, but today I think it would be this one. At 4 5/8 inches, it has enough 1095 iron to last a long time. Tomorrow I think I'll choose a big Congress in stag....

Barring SAK's (because i couldn't live with just one lol) i would choose my Case CV Amber Bone Jumbo Stockman.
Since i bought it it has constantly been in my EDC roster.
In fact i haven't carried any other (non-SAK) slipjoints since i bought the Case.
 
That's one tough choice. The way things are going right now, looks like it's probably going to be my yellow delrin barehead slimline trapper in CV. The douk-douk's making its way into my EDC, but only time will tell how long it stays.
