The more one digs into the hobby of slip joint collecting, the more patterns one comes across. Everyone is familiar with the trapper, jack, stockman, whittler. But there are so many different variations. Different sizes and styles of trappers. Every time I turn around I see a new jack pattern. Stockman and cattleman patterns with more than three blades and different blade patterns throughout. It seems that most every job known to man had a specific knife pattern, at least from the 1850s to the 1950s from the major cutlery firms of that era.
Case has it's old reliable favorites, and their Tony Bose pattern line has brought back some interesting designs. Queen and Great Eastern are bringing back all kinds of models lost to history. The numerous custom makers out there are bringing some back.
If you have any great examples, whether drawings or pictures, please share them. The more obscure the better. Please include the pattern names and numbers if possible, and I will try to compile them in the first post in this thread.
