The 2010 Forum Knife Continues!

[mhawg]

I'm still not taken with the "awl."

 

[CDHumiston]

I like the Trapper style, don't like the Equal End Cigar at all...

 

[black mamba]

Anyone know what the blade options are in the Trapper?

Charlie, this is a Scout pattern GEC did for Bulldog USA. So at least drop point, spey and pen for choices.

 

[Berkley]

You know, we can put a Clip AND a Spear in that sucker! Either end, or same end!!

Either way would work for me:thumbup:.

 

[Steven65]

Of these two patterns I would prefer the Equal End Jack Either spear or clip for the main blade is fine by me
THANKS CHARLIE

 

[mmarkh]

Of those two styles the Trapper. Not loving the cigar style. Still in regardless.

 

[6.0stroker]

EE here Spear and Clip or!!!

 

[JatMat]

Equal End

 

[FLymon]

#73 Trapper for me. Single blade if possible.

At over 4" long, and round and fat, the equal end is more than I will pocket. I'm in for whatever comes, but anyone who has not owned one of those, and plans to carry theirs, should know that its kind of like carrying a roll of quarters in their pocket.

Dang nice knives though.

 

[mrappraisit]

EE w/clip or trapper, either are great choices.
Thanks for your hard work!

 

[7rip13a]

They make a nice clip blade!

Beautiful, I'm down for an equal end like that!:thumbup:

 

[db]

Are we down to those two styles? I'm kind of hoping a scout is still in the running.

 

[Steve_Holt]

If I have to pick one, I would go for the equal end. I would prefer a clip in one end and a spear in the other.

ditto.

This is very cool, and I can't wait to see what the final verdict ends up being, regardless of what is chosen. And since I am trying very hard not to buy any knives until around the end of February, this process is still scratching my knife-buying itch.

 

[glamdring]

Equal end clip and pen same side. Or

Equal end clip and spear same side. Or

Equal end just clip.

 

[Pipeman]

Spear and punch equal end would be my first choice but spear and clip pen would be my second choice. A big trapper would also be fine with me. I still like a blackwood handle.

EE w/clip sounds good to me.

Christine,
Hi,
Could you tell me what is the difference is between the 54 and 53 frames .
Thanks,
Neeman

There is no difference in the frame of the 53 and the 54, just in the blade configuration.

4 1/4 " is too large for me.

What about a Congress at 3 3/4" ?
This is a nice size for a Congress, giving enough blade length
Change the two primary blades to a sheepsfoot or wharncliff and a spear.
The two secondary blades to a coping and a clip
It would be an awesome knife for whittling!

For the 4 1/4" size there is also a modified Muskrat
