Jigged redQuestion of Taste
The MOP one was the very first "premium" slip joint I bought. I didn't know anything and was wanting to learn how to carve. So I learned very quickly that just because it is called a whittler it doesn't mean it is necessary good at the task. I was very discouraged and it sat in the box for a long time. After I collected for a bit and my knowledge grew a came back around to it and realized what its strengths were and now very much enjoy the knife. So much so I added the other two.

Clip please! Which may seem odd as I usually prefer Spear or Sheepfoot. In this case it's preferred because it's Barehead and thus is better in the hand.
