I'm (past)due to host a giveaway - Winner is Railsplitter!

I have been trying to resist entering this giveaway but I can't take it anymore! For years I have admired the 22087. Something about the shape of the handle and the black scales just really draws me in. Just never got one for one reason or another. I guess it's just one of those things that I want but will never buy for myself.

Count me in, Keith, and thank you for the chance!

Since I started collecting knives about 5 years ago my favorite pattern has almost always been the Railsplitter. A friend from another forum introduced me to the pattern early in my hobby and although I do have several of them, I still can't enough. It's the shape of the handle that attracts me to it and I like any and all of the blade configurations. My favorite among them is this Northwoods Ivory Railsplitter Moose.

Then one day about 3 months ago I was contacted by Mr. Ken Coats. He wanted to let me know that a knife I had ordered from him was almost complete. I was plenty excited about the knife but when Ken sent me the work in process pictures I really started freaking out. I could tell by those WIP pics that this was going to be a special knife for me. Then came the completed pics and more freaking out on my part. The knife arrived on New Years Eve and it has been my constant companion since then. It ain't going anywhere either. This knife is worthy of the old cliche "They'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands".

I still like my Railsplitters a lot but they aren't my favorite anymore. Second favorite maybe but now this is Number One.

Sweet giveaway Keith!! Not an entry but my favorite is my Alsdorf trapper in my avatar.
 
Thanks for you generosity. Its so hard to pick a all time favorite.......I am stuck between a Sowbelly a Russlock from Case I love the one handed opening and closing, or the Case /Bose Coffin Jack .................Because of the Steel/ quality/fit and finish/ I am going with the coffin jack. I would love to own a old remington? or Winchester ? coffin jack..........
 
Thanks for the opportunity coyote711!


My #1 all-time favourite traditional knife that I own is Vic ALOX Soldier. I use it to whittle often even though it's not the most suitable knife for whittling.
It's the knife that I use most often at work since it's "public friendly".
I whittle with it when it's really slow at work and my co-workers says "it must be a slow day since KG is whittlin') :p
Of course I use it for work as well. Opening up boxes, breaking down boxes, etc.
 
Thanks for the giveaway.

My very boring answer is my Case CV Yeller Peanut. It's my favourite simply because it's the knife I always have on me.
 
Thanks for the GA. BUT NOT AN ENTRY AS I have these knives and want to give others a chance! Those are fine knives to offer up.

Mind you, I'd like to nominate a favourite: I'd agree with you Keith, the GEC Conductor takes the laurels at the moment. Thanks for your posts.

Regards, Will
 
Keith,
thanks for the giveaway, I'd like to enter for the Medium jack as well. I often wonder what my #1 all time favourite traditional knife is...if it exists...and I'm not sure about the answer...but in the end, in the lack of an absolute winner, I will always get bac to my roots, and if the giveaway is open to us overseas forumites, I assume overseas knives are welcome too :rolleyes:
These are my father's...two almost identical Pattada folders by R. Careddu (handle is ram's horn):

Limiting to 1 favorite ... Dad's Buck stockman. Chuck Buck was at the local Cabela's as a promo... signing & sharpening peoples knives. Dad stood in line (unussual for him) and at his turn handed it over Mr. Buck tried all three blades agreed, "yep, its sharp!" and etched a signiture on it. Dad always did keep that thing shaving sharp.
Thanks for a chace. God bless
 
My favorite changes to whichever one lands in my pocket. My lucky girlfriend is

Thanks for the chance!
I'm pretty new to the traditional game but I would say my favorite is the trapper!
 
My all time favorite traditional is my Northwoods 2008 Traditionals Forum Medium Stockman, it feel great in hand, love the burnt stag scales, it spends so much time in my pocket it's pocket worn already.

Thanks for the giveaway.
 
well my knife is a cheap 10 to 15 dollar m tech rescue knife which I was able to use to break the windows of a car I got in. They knife didn't save my life but it allowed me to escape from a vehicle that was in the bottom of a deep ditch
 
Thank you for your generosity.
I don't post much here mostly just browse and read my way around.
Just bought me a new Yellow Handled Case Peanut. Just started carrying it and its by far my favorite small knife that I have had. Its a very different feel in my pocket compared to my ZT 0350. The whole thing must weigh less than the blade on my ZT. Its a likeable difference though.
 
My favorite is a Buck series 300 Stockman with indented bolsters that my dad gave me when I was in jr highschool.

My #1 favorite is the buck 110 that my Dad gave me when I started hunting 11 years ago. It has cleaned lots of deer, squirrels, fish, and others. Its always with me hunting, fishing, hiking, and any other time in the woods or by the river and does a great job with anything I throw at it. My yellow peanut is a close second because it does all of the everyday jobs so well. Thanks for the opportunity.
 
Thanks for the giveaway I'm in..
My all-time favorite would be the stockman..I've recently fell in love with traditionals so its closely followed by peanuts and jacks...
