Looking for first great all around EDC traditional

[Will Power]

Well there is a wealth of choice, such is the strength of traditionals!

The Northwoods Norfolk is in fact GEC made, a fine knife but a very narrow blade and not that much snap on it either.

Try some CASE carbon knives particularly the yellow delrin Pen-Knife and their Chestnut Bone Swayback Jack. Excellent smaller patterns. Medium stockman and Peanut well worth a glance too.

Queen has, I think, released a smaller Whittler in carbon recently, bone or stag.

Another vote for the GEC Conductor, an exceptional small knife with considerable blade on offer, makes a lot of sense.

Just to follow on from what 2Dead said earlier;



The 68 white owl and the 33 conductor. You can see how much the stature of the 68 exceeds the 33.



Although not in girth.



The length of the main blades on my versions (you can get a 68 with spear main instead of a clip) are identical.



I can't speak for the two blade version of the 33 but the whittler has significantly shorter secondaries. The pulls on my 33 are much firmer and more to my liking than the 68 which is a bit wimpy.

Hope this helps
