Slipjoint knife

[Foilist]

The Case Tru-Sharp stainless is of comparable quality to a SAK. Nothing special, but completely acceptable and functional.

My vote is for Great Eastern. They are some of the nicest traditional slipjoints going right now; neat patterns, 1095 carbon, and an interestin variety of handles.

I forgot about GEC! My Trapper is comparble in everyway to Shatt & Morgan quality, outstanding!

If it's in the price range great eastern cutlery is a great choice

 

[CUTS LIKE A KRIS]

So far my choice would be Queen. D2 is tough but a good set of diamond sharpeners take care of it OK- just make sure to start with coarse and don't do the whole thing with the ultra fine!

I'd say around 4 to 5" when closed
1 to 2 blades, but more is not bad. I [ Love or hate???] those clip point blades!

Use for the knife would be "normal". Not too abusive, but not a decoration either.. Basically anything you can do with knife outdoors and why not indoors too.

OK, now we are talking!
