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

This Nowland Sowbelly:

It's a little fistful of awesome.

 

[4ever3]

The Sowbelly Trapper...

p.s. it's #3. Coincidence?... Nope the knife Gods were smiling

 

[The Mastiff]

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! For sanity's sake, I must continue to refuse that any such thing as a Tony Bose knife exists. I see nothing!

 

[GRIM 62]

Queen D2 large Stockman.Hey moon,they do exist.

 

[65hoss]

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.

 

[T.K.C.]

I would keep my ironwood Alsdorf.

 

[DennisStrickland]

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!

 

[DallasSTB]

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).

 

[xbxb]

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.

 

[duckman1]

If I had to keep just one it would be this.

 

[mgordon]

I to am a fan of the old-timer esp the ones made with usa steel

old-timer 880t

[IVANKERLEY]

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 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....

 

[tholiver]

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.

 

[YayILikePie]

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.
