This week I'll post the third of my set of 3 Cannon sailor knives. I'll call this a coping blade, or call the knife a rope knife.

Taylor Schrade 108OT - birthday present from my daughter about ten years ago. The secondary blades are too thin for my taste but otherwise it's a very nice little knife.

Post 1991 (it has the multi-use "package hook") Vic Huntsman I found used (in like new condition) on the big auction site for under $17.⁰⁰ shipped.
Upgraded to Pen slot Plus Scales, red side tools (that don't stick out like a bare pinkie toe that discovered an immovable object (coffee/ end table, chair leg, etc.) in a pitch black room, while traveling at high speed.) and the pen.
The covers were gifted to me.
With the added cost of the new side tools, pen, and fob, I still have under $24.⁰⁰ including shipping invested in it.
I "think" up to $30 still qualifies as "thrifty", considering inflation ...
(tho I do miss the new under sub $7.⁰⁰ to $12.⁵⁰ Rough Rider and Marbles ... and the slightly more spendy Colt's. )



(New orange ball head pin was "donated" by my new sewing kit ... It lacked a red ball headed pin.)

Oriental Imperial Schrade cracked ice sowbelly of which I'm very fond:

Oriental Imperial Schrade cracked ice sowbelly

That’s a good looking one. The grooved bolsters really set it off.
