Is -that- what smooth autumn bone looks like in good light?

... I might have to pick up one of those calf ropers.

It's not a Calf Roper and it's not smooth autumn bone.

It's 4 1/8" GEC Northfield Orange Crush Perylic Whittler (541308W)

Here is my contribution.

I think the Case Turkish clip is my favorite so far.

The clip looks somewhat 'snubbed' at the above angle; here's a (surprisingly) fuller view:

More of the usual suspects. I consider the clip of the GEC #33 (top) to be especially svelte, and so it is-- until seen in comparison with the Case Mini Trapper's:

Is the "Turkish clip" same as, or similar to, the "California clip?"

My newest clip received Christmas. S&M #69 Barlow in Winterbottom bone.

My understanding is that distinctions between the two can be subtle, based on whomever's making the knife (vs. universally agreed upon), and are often fuzzy-- many people use the terms interchangeably.

So... yes?

Case describes their California Clip Point Blade as being "in the shape of California":

(Imagination needed.)

Here's one of Charlie's posts from the archives, addressing a similar question:

The first Remington knife came off the assembly line ca. 1920, so this catalog page comes from approximately then.

It shows a blade they call a Turkish clip, 4th from the left on the bottom. It looks suspiciously like Scott's blade. But this is the "word" according to Remington, and not Case.
I think the line between a California clip and a Turkish clip is often blurred.
I need to find a similar picture from Case. I'm looking - - -can anyone help??

(Inconclusive!)

I would venture that, sticking strictly to Case knives, this one is a Turkish clip...

... while the one on this Case knife is a California clip:

Or at least, the two blades are different from one another-- if more similar to one another than to a "regular" clip blade.


Ok, that was probably no help whatsoever.

very helpful to me, i wonder if the companies agree across the board on these designations. looks like some places just call it a clip blade and call it a day

Yes, the above illustrations and descriptions are VERY helpful.

Thank you, pertinux!

Like the OP, I can't learn or see enough about clip points.

 

[btmccutcheon]

Is there a limit to clips on a knife?

One-of-a-kind clip, reground from a spear blade.

After some use, covers lighter, blades darker.

Compared with a #48.
