I've been carrying a custom slip joint for many years. But as crazy as it sounds....I've never bought a non-custom (production) traditional. I always thought...well...the custom must be better.
But with better technologies nowadays, I'm thinking maybe a high quality production or mid tech traditional might find room in my EDC collection. I don't want to be one of those "custom" snobs...
Sorta like the CRK Sebenza can be favorably compared to most customs....I'm sure there are some production traditionals that hold up to the customs.
so if you were to start over again....where would you look? GEC? Case/Bose?
I don't want to travel down the rabbit hole of vintage just yet.....just looking for what you'd recommend that's available now. Or maybe stick with customs...I don't know.
My current traditionals include knives from Gary Crowder, Terry Davis and Gene Shadley and PJ Tomes
