Is it known if the #48 Northwoods will be offered with a single blade?

Can someone with a #66 slim take a picture comparing the thickness of the blades to a #15? I usually like knives with a single blade, but that slim clip point is tempting.

Here's an attempt. The Clips are of course very different animals. Regards, Will

Thank you willgoy! The #66 looks like such a slicer.

Does the different styles of the clip have their own names?
 
BEAUTY Brian. Enjoy it!! I have a jack on it's way also. Something special about a nice yellow knife that is well patina'd.

The 66 is a slicing machine compared to the 15. The blades on the slim are notched for clearance adding to the overall thinness. I call the main a Turkish clip. GEC calls it a California clip. Whatever it's called I find it to be a very useful blade shape.

Brian, absolutely agree with you. First rate slicer, I always used the word Turkish Clip but I think Cali Clip is interchangeable (could be mistaken) The blade is not unlike the type you find on a Laguiole and they are outstanding in the slicing-league.

Can't wait to see the new run of Vipers, esp. the grizzly bone. But after tracking down a blackwood Charlow and failing to resist a pre-2000 Marbles in the last two days, I need to put the brakes on. :rolleyes:
