Alan, I appreciate that. I will post my second Stag Clerk at the end of these quotes and you might just change your mind!!!

examples. This is my 2nd #13 Clerk in Sambar Stag. I have posted it in other threads, but this is the debut here in this thread. The pile side is nice, but the mark side is super, IMHO!!

I think Alan will change his mind Ron That is as good as it gets!

^^^Thanks my friend!!!

You could be right Ron. Great stag on the second one but better color on the first. How's my diplomacy?

I thought I would bring this thread back to page 1 with my newest Single Spring and Two Blades! I bought this one from the exchange this week. It is a #66 Slim with Cocobolo handles. Maybe someone else has a few to add to the thread!

Here's my GEC 68 White Owl also in Coco, a present from pmew.

What's interesting here Ron, is that this is basically Ebony colour , whereas yours is certainly a red hue, woods vary a lot-such is their attraction.

I guess my newest addition fits the bill. I was shocked to find this little guy sitting Brand New at a GEC Dealers a few weeks back.

So I am looking at a Case Copperlock as my first two blade single spring knife. I wish it was a bit larger. Closer to 3 1/2 rather than 3 1/8 inches. I probably should have jumped on the Churchill when it last came around but I was more focused on single blade knives then.

Any suggestions on a readily available new single spring two blade knife today?

You're probably looking at a Case mini Copperhead, if it has 2 blades and is 3 1/8" closed. (The mini Copperlock is about 3 5/8", I think, and only one blade.) FWIW, I have a Wharncliffe/pen mini Copperhead that I think is a beautiful and useful knife, but it is not a big knife. Not nearly as small as a Peanut (the extra quarter inch makes a huge difference, I think), but still probably smaller than average.

Nice to see this thread revived, despite p-bucket's vandalism

GT is correct on all fronts about the Mini-Copperhead, a very tidy carry. Here in Root-Beer Bone ( I tasted some US Root Beer for the 1st time last month, absolutely repulsive :poop:

but I've never much liked any soft drinks I stick to tea, coffee, water, wine, beer & spirits, that's plenty)

Yep, thanks for the correction on that 5K Qs. I have a few Copperlocks, in both sizes and just mixed the names in my post.

So maybe 3 1/8 is not so bad?

D Duper All sizes suit this configuration

Yes, it's a small knife the Mini-Copperlock but proportions are good and it's an appealing back-up carry :thumbsup:

Here's a bigger type with interesting blades Pruner/Spey-Budding the GEC 38 Farmer's Jack n Camel Bone.

Mayonardo · Dec 13, 2019

D Duper The GEC 82 Possum Skinner is hard to beat. They are strangely still available at many dealers.

Just waiting for this #35 to morph into a scout!!

But it's certainly nice as-is!!

Springs??

Why have two, when one will do??

I love the looks of the Wharncliffe mini Copperhead, but am I the only one who finds that the Wharncliffe main blade makes a hot spot when using the pen blade? For a user I prefer the clip main - it doesn't stick up so far when closed and I don’t really feel it when using the pen blade. (I apologize for using this shot I’ve posted before but it illustrates my point.) I think Case still makes a couple of mini Copperheads with a clip main.

My favorite GEC, the 35 Churchill. Stag covers short of a full set.
