Lookin for a particular slipjoint.

[Spongebobby]

I'm looking for a particular slipjoint, nothing too particular, i was just wanted to know of any and all affordable production slip joints with a main blade and a pen blade side by side, that you guys know of. Pictures appreciated. Thanks.

What you're looking for is generically referred to as a "jackknife" and there is a mind-boggling variety of knives that meet your criteria available out there. Serpentines, equal-ends, teardrops, doglegs, Barlows, peanuts, etc. Here are just a few to get you started.


Barlow

Peanut

Small Texas Jack

Cigar

It would help a lot more if you specified whether you want the main to be a clip, spear (the most common) or other style blade, and a price range. "Affordable" doesn't tell us much.

 

[Spongebobby]

I would like a spear blade, and the price definatly 75 and under.

Blades on opposite ends like on a canoe good too?

 

[Spongebobby]

Yea, blades on opposite ends are fine.

You may be able to find a GEC at the upper end of your budget. Below is a Bocote #25 (borrowed pic) and my Ebony #56. There should still be some of these #25s out there, the #56 may be a little harder to find. Also, GEC is supposed to be releasing #85 Candle End Jacks based off of this year's forum knife but with a pen blade and without the EO notch within the next few weeks.

Here's an inexpensive Rough Rider 2-blade doctor's knife (my only RR). The fit and finish is good, and the steel seems to be of good quality.

Case makessome US made barlows, but they're all clip bladed, and the new Russel barlows have some spear/pen combos for around $50, if you're OK with German.
