Overview classic folders

[khb]

Hello,

I'm very interested in traditional folders like Trapper, Stockman etc. But I'm puzzled about some models : e.g. some Copperheads have their blades on one end, other ones on both ends.

Is there any website where I can find a descricption of the characteristics of different models?

Would be glad if anybody could help me.

Greetings from Germany - khb

Why Kerry, I didn't think you even about AAPK! I've never seen a post from you there.

A.G.Russell also has some good online reference material:

I will have a look at it, it is very interesting.

Here is an old Schrade publication, "Handbook Knife Knowledge and Terms". Page 4 shows blade shapes.

BTW, the rest of the handout makes for some pretty cool reading as well.

Hello Knarfeng,

yes, that's a nice little piece of paper. And it's fine for me to have some more expressions in english.

Willkommen to BladeForums, khb.

Alas, while our family spoke German at home until 1917, my father was the last to do so. I can only greet you.
