slippies for survival

I have no problems with just a slipjoint , true , I wont be felling trees with it nor making dug out canoes or stuff like that with my slip joint , but I know from having done it before that I can easy enough do it again with just a slippie .

I have done before , and probably can do again , scab enough scrap steel from the crud people leave behind them to make a decentish fixed blade to take up the slack . Its truly amazing what you can do with a fire , a lump of car spring , something to whack it with and against and a bit of time to spend doing it ....

I always carry some type of pocketknife when in the wood !!! it is usually a stockman of some type. with all three blades i can handle most small tasks. I wish i had one of those ZEBU's. can anyone tell me where i can get one ?

It appears that google is telling me something Portuguese. I found something on a survivalist site that they might not export them out. Maybe Mac can enlighten those who want one. :D

As for a slippie, I still will have to my SAK and or my Gerber gator 154 CM drop point folder. ( I know its a lock back, but the lock is not all that great to begin with. So I can classify it as a slip joint. :D)

I don't know of anyone importing the Zebu knives to the US. Right now the exchange rate is so bad between the US Dollar and the Brazilian Real that I doubt you could make a profit at it. Mac
 
nice one brian. i lways knew you were a pink kinda guy. but you wear those in the woods:eek: crazy stuff there:jerkit:
 
Being in the woods gives me a good opportunity to carry one of my larger traditional slippies. In this grouping I have a MM muskrat, a Boker Copperhead and a Westmark(Boker) Trapper.

Slip Joints,:thumbup:

I like them for the Woods. I have carried Barlow, Scout, SAK and Stockmans as my EDC's for the outback.
Anything else I carry is added to slip joint, not to replace it.
 
i like that 555, added to your slip joint, not to replace them. good stuff there. i just find slipjoints useful. they have their place.
 
slipjoints are great... i have no problem with them at all... i have carried them on and off over years.... they definately have their place in the woods... i have a few cool ones.... the flea market here in santa cruz is a great spot to score some nice slippies.. old and new..

i also like the traditional aspect of slippies as well... you get a little nastalgia? with them...:D

WOW Gerber Must be going down Hill :eek:

I have a gator folder that Ive had for 15 years that has been through hell and the lock has never failed, I Used to throw this knife at trees when I was young and foolish and it still locks well
 
Man, heres a story for yall. I just got home a little bit ago from doin voulanteer work at the local food pantry and I had that GEC on my hip I posted a pic of. Well I was helping an older gent load a pallet of food into a pastors car for the summer school kids. It was wrapped so it had to be cut. Well the man was lookin for a box cutter, ad I grabbed the GEC and offered it to him and he looked like I pulled out a blood soaked machete! He said, why do you need something like that?!? I said "for to cut stuff my knife is" in my most mongoloid voice. I cary it caus I dig the traditional style, and I LOVE this knife. Its not even a lockback. Wonder what he wouldve said if I reached for the Hikers Backup in my pocket.....

Well he then pulled a stockman out of his pocket that was almost the same size. I said nothing, but thought I guess if it has more than 1 blade its ok. Dang sheeple, who is afraid of a slippie? I was supprised this was a reaction from an elderly midwestern man.

Well sorry for drifting from the subject matter, but it is kinda survival, B/C without my blade maybe those kids wouldve starved???.
 
j williams if that isnt survival i dont know what is. you could ahve jsut saved hundreds of lives ranging from cops to doctors with that pallet of food and whatnot. you might have just solved world hunger with that one bit of help:jerkit: good story though. now as for me, i just purchased a northwoods scagel #11. now that i am looking foreward to taking into the woods with my enzo and myself and my sak. gonna be fun:D
 
I've got a Queen D2 2 blade hunter I would'nt feel underknifed with. Hey Pict, you still bringing some of those machete sheaths up with you?
