Slipjoints for the outdoors

hey ron i just went and looked through briefly and he has some really great deals there. 4 rail splitters for $240 :eek::thumbup:
 
I know! Clarence will take 15% off those listed prices as well. I got the larger Winchester Moose for $72, shipped. Those are good deals!

Looks like I'd better contact Clarence for a kickback. ;)

Oh No. I might be in trouble looking at this site. :D Thanks Blues. :thumbup:

Scott,

Glad to help.

Make sure you go the schatt & morgan url as the crisnercutlery.com address has myriad other offerings.

On the "schatt" url, click on "miscellaneous" and it takes you to the Winchester offerings.

Last time I spoke to Clarence he said he had gotten in some more of the Winchester's but you never know what may be available at any given time.

Fortunately, when I called him he was able to find Ron the "Moose" he was looking for.
 
Recently got a Great Eastern Cutlery slippy in. I like it a lot, natural canvas micarta and 1095 steel. Have only carried it a couple times, but it is going to get some more pocket time soon. Will be taking it out this afternoon for a good hike out along the river.
 
Scott, looks like Elliott took care of you! I agree...that site can get you in "trouble"!!!!!:eek: I know this won't be the only pocketknife I wind up getting from Clarence! Thanks again, Blues, for telling me about Clarence's website!:thumbup::D

He actually wound up having two of those Winchester Moose pocketknives like the one I wanted!

So, you can't include SAK as Traditional then? OK here's a couple of variants that may have more Traditional scales: Bulldog Scout knife in celluloid(corkscrew but unlike the SAK Farmer no saw..) Or CASE Bonestag Scout knife-again no saw though.

I usually hike with a CASE Medium Stockman for food prep tasks or a Slimline Trapper/Utility knife that has an excellent long blade for all round use,slim and light in the pocket too. A Great Eastern Stag Liner lock-not a slippie true but defo Trad style and materials- gets quite a few outings this summer as well(wish knives kept the poxy insects off as well....)

Another suggestion for a slipjoint/traditional style for hiking would be to look into the Traditional Forum's knife for 2008.Still a few left.
 
Depends on what I'm doing. I carry the Vintage Knives Moose most days (first knife in the moose post above), and in the woods I like to have a Vic. rucksack. I also like to carry a 1960s Case muskrat.

My pleasure. :thumbup::cool:
 
I carry a buck 303 cadet or my larger old timer stockman (china made) but I like it alot has ironwood scales and is a good little beater. I also carry a toopick pattern always in my tacklebox...love this pattern, I'm a sucker for clips I guess!!
 
I love trad slippies..I've been edcing a stockman of some sort and using one in the woods for about a year...I love em...My favorite are the case patterns Med and large in CV steel and the boker large stockman in carbon steel (if boker would thin out thier grinds a bit this would be perfect,,THe case large stockman is a work horse however if I was going to be lost i the woods with a trad slippy I guess that'd be the one...For anyone looking to experiment with a traditional pattern without trying to dump a bunch of cash on one look into rough rider knives (they make trad slippies in a variety of patterns and handles for dirt cheap) although they are made in china they are worth the 10 dollar investment just as an intro into slipjoints. They are not the best but are like the mora of slijoints.
 
When I hike, I usually carry a Vic Mechanic. The little pliers do for pulling thorns (usually cactus) from my dog's pads. I have a thought that I could do as well with a hemostat and save a bit of weight...

But my knife that I carry to cut with is almost always a normal old slippy. I have a bunch, and they all get their turns. Current favorite is the barehead slimline trapper.
