Looking for a weird slipjoint pattern

[NapalmCheese]

Does anyone make slipjoint with a clip blade and either a sheepsfoot, wharncliffe, or coping blade? On the same end like a trapper, or on either end like a moose or muskrat. I was thinking something the size of a medium or large trapper. I'd like something like that, but of course, that doesn't mean anyone else would, so maybe there's a reason I've never seen one. I just know that I like a full size clip point blade and a shorter blade with little to no bevel, but don't really care for thickness of a stockman.

Come to think of it, I think I've seen a trapper with a wharncliffe from Case maybe?

Stockyard Whittler.

 

[Danke42]

I have a red one.

 

[NapalmCheese]

I was thinking just two blades to keep it a bit slimmer. Are those stockyard whittlers on the slimmer side?

That red is pretty bitchin, I'm digging it.

Yes, you have. Yes, it is.

Case's "Hawbaker Special" was a Muskrat with a clip and a wharncliffe. They also make a Mini-trapper and a Bose model is a similar combination.

Searching Hawbaker Knife will bring up some similar made by other companies too, mostly Queen/Queen contracts.

There's also this Schrade. Not fancy, but serviceable.

And there is also this Gerber Silver Knight made circa 1980. I still see them for sale in odd nooks and crannies of the web.

 

[NapalmCheese]

Right on!

I guess it's not that weird a design after all.

I also guess I should have looked just a little harder! This is awesome, thanks and keep 'em coming!

 

[Alex.Y.]

You mean like this?

 

[afishhunter]

I think Rough Ryder makes an "improved trapper" with full size clip and Wharncliffe blades.

 

[EngrSorenson]

Yeah, straight edge of some kind plus clip is relatively common. Of ther examples include the original run of #38 whittlers from GEC, the mini and tiny trappers from case, improved moose (I think) and trappers from GEC, most stockman patterns, the #48 whittlers from Queen (the pre-2016 Queen), and the 2017 run of GEC #35 churchills… just to name a few.

Open it up further by allowing spear point blades and you get even more choices like the 2019 run of Eureka jacks from GEC.

Craftsman offered this one called the Gentleman’s Jackknife, they show up on internet auction sites from time to time.

 

[Will Power]

GEC's 53 Fur-Taker ought to suit the OP's weird criteria, mind you he'll likely have to pay some weird prices too....





There's also their 74 two blade same end to be considered .

I've never found one straight and one curved to be a common arrangement. I've always thought that one reason for the popularity of the stockman is that it's the place to find a straight and a curved together.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

In addition to the Wharncliffe tiny trapper and Wharncliffe mini trapper, Case did make a full size Wharncliffe trapper at one time. (I almost bought one but passed on it for some reason.) You might be able to find one somewhere. If you have anywhere between a few hundred and a few thousand to spend you should be able to find a Tony Bose Wharncliffe trapper, too!

 

[Will Power]

If you want to keep it slim go for a single-spring GEC 82 Possum Whittler, these are not too difficult to track down and you get a good full sized straight and curved blade. Other scale choices too.

It's not super slim but it feels reasonable.

 

[Old Hunter]

Here is one I had in my collection at one time, a Case take on the Copperhead from 2006. It doesn't meet the Clip requirement though as the Wharncliffe is the main. OH

 

[mbkr]

Case made the Copperhead in that configuration at one time. Not too common. You might have to look for a while, but they're out there.

 

[black mamba]

Don't forget the recent GEC #86 pattern.

Or you can take many 2-blade jacks and regrind one of the blades to make just what you want. 3¾" RR Copperhead, reground.
