The Mighty Mighty Moose! Post your mighty moose and provide insight to this pattern!

I've got a 54 GEC Chestnut Wormgroove on my wish list with CK.com. Probably pull the trigger on it tomorrow.
 
Another fairly recent thread that I missed completely while pretending to be an international jet-setter over the holidays! :rolleyes:

Beautiful knives, and I learned a lot! I don't think I ever realized what a moose pattern was before this thread; I suspect if I ever saw the word "moose" in a slipjoint description, I automatically misread it as "muskrat". But now I know better; thanks! :thumbup::thumbup: I once had a muskrat from Rough Rider, but it was too big for me to carry and I gave it away. When I first started reading this thread, I thought the same would be true of these moose patterns, but I learned that the moose apparently comes in many sizes, including under 3 7/8 inches, which makes it "viable" for my preferences.

(However, I bought some "carpenter jeans" Saturday, with the hammer loop on one leg and the deep "tool pocket" on the other. Maybe I can start considering larger knives that I'd only carry on days when I had the tool pocket available. :p Knives like "full size" stockman, Sodbuster "Sr.", full size trapper, Opinels #8 and up, etc.)

Anyway, thanks for the very informative thread with lots of envy-eliciting photos!! :D

Well, the 54 pattern Moose knives are big, but those rounded bolsters make it feel very comfortable in the hand and pocket.
 
That's a very helpful comparison pic showing that a moose pattern doesn't have to be a "moose" of a knife, relatively speaking. Thanks, Woodrow!

The Case Moose is on the same pattern as the Case 6375 Large Stockman. A Moose is generally accepted as:

-Dual spring
-Equal end, serpentine, or swell center pattern
-Two blades
-Long clip and either a long spear or long spey blade
 
Another detour between me and my Moose! :eek:

Tsk, tsk. I've carried my big stockman once since getting my moose.... that was just because I was feeling a little guilty about not carrying it. Now that all that is over, I'm back to the Moose. These are really beefy knives that don't feel beefy in the pocket.

Yeah, I know Woodrow.......

These two along with with a Schrade 505 knocked out my Moose purchase this month.

Quick snapshot.

They ain't Moose, but they're attractive knives nonetheless! Good finds, SAK Guy!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Finally! I thought I wasn't going to get it for awhile. Hopefully, here is a photo.

Here's a few older shots of my "Case Classics" moose. I'm sure I've posted them on the forum before, but I'm sure you guys don't mind seeing them again! :)

Brian and Josh - two absolutely beautiful examples of the Moose pattern. SAK Guy and Woodrow - as much as I like the Moose pattern it would never displace a Stockman (or Whittler with a robust coping blade) for my EDC knife - a Moose is for collecting and showing off, a pocketknife with a good Sheepfoot is for carrying and using! Good choice on the Frontier Stockman. OH
 
Thanks OH! I have a weakness for the pattern. Back in the 60's, my first knife was a shiny new 8OT given to me by my Dad and he's carried one for nearly 60 years.

I want one badly but am a poor Moose hunter it seems!
