User EDC slipjoint Pictures! No shinny unused knives allowed

Users Only!.. Got to luv 'em!

This one is a 20+ year old 2 blade Knife World 1st Edition slipy that has 1/2 stops and good carbon steel (1095) circa 1980's Cripple Creek, Bob Cargill.. Been using and abusing it 4 ever!

 

[El Lobo]

I have a couple of those......as they are the only Cripple Creek/Cargill's you can catch for reasonable nowdays. It is a great well made knife, I agree.

Looks like if you keep working yours hard you may have the only one that is "N.E. of 2000".....

Here's a few:

They've all been EDC'd and are still in rotation except for the Barry Wood Swinglock(I just sold it on Ebay ), the KaBar Hunter, and the Case Canoe.

Here's my Dad's EDC 60's thru the 80's (until I bought him a SAK)

It recently turned up in the garage and is getting the TLC that it deserves.

Wow! What a great batch of vintage user slipjoints you all have!!

You guys have now inspired me to dig much deeper into my old chest of drawers and find more great users.

The following is an old Case Loomfixer from the 1940-50's era in beautiful old Rogers Bone..

 

[El Lobo]

Very nice folks.
Here is the one I usually carry around the house. Sorry it isn't a bit better picture. It's a pearl Muskrat assembled and finished by Wendell Carson.

That Case Loomfixer is nice, SunnyD

Here's one of my favorite patterns, a Case 6333 small stockman--this one is an XX which dates it between 1940-64. This one has very dark bone, but it has a hint of reddish to it that doesn't show up in this pic. If you really want to see Case quality check out a 6333 made in 1970 or before! I bought this one and two like it in Louisville a couple of years back--all three were in similar condition. After I sold the other two, I have $5 in this one! It has great walk and talk, reasonably full blades, and no pitting. I carry it everyday!

Here's the one I've been carrying and using every day since Blade 2005. Yesterday I was fixing sprinkler heads, and had it in my pocket the whole time. Got soaked, dirty and when I was done I cleaned it up, blew it out with compressed air, oiled it, and it was good as new. Elephant Ivory, 3.5 wharncliffe trapper in ATS-34 by Reese Bose. This one has always been used. Was carried by Reese, he gave it to his dad who carried it for a while, then sold it to a friend. He carried it for a while, and then sold it to me. I think the trail will end there.

I have had this knife since January 2001, when my father died. Before that, he had it as long as I care to remember back.

Incidentally, as I said somewhere before, with it for scaling is my grandfather's bottle opener which he gave to me. It has opened a couple of Guinness Extra Stout, let me tell you ...and he opened a few with it, too !

Here is a sweet old 1950's Kutmaster, Utica, NY. (3) blade stockman in jigged green bone that I think is just gorgeous.

I just picked it up last week from my good pal Billy Cochrane at www.vintageknives.com for my current every day carry. Its currently collecting lint in my right front pocket of my wrangles.

It is gorgeous. And that knife shows what the love for slipjoints is all about.

Thanks very much for the link to Vintage Knives. I just spent a half hour checking out their stock. Great stuff!

Gentlemen,

I just have to say that I have throughly enjoyed this thread. It brings out the real feelings of pockets knives, their use, abuse, love, history and why we are so crazy about them. Thanks for sharing

 

[glennbad]

I agree, it's nice to see a wide variety of edc.

If you like this thread, check out the old/new school schrade thread over at the schrade forum. Lots of nice examples of craftsmanship.

Here are the other old soldiers.
Left and right are my FIL's knives. He used the scaleless one, said it fit the pocket better. The Electrician knife has been around the block too.
I still have to clean these up, they've been in a box for years and years.
The Barlow on top, I found on a dock in Putnam Co. It is a CAMCO and sharpened away to near nothing. I sharpened and carried it for a while, just because. But with more use and sharpening the point will start sticking out of the scales...then I'd have to file down the kick...so I guess it'll rest now.

They all walk and talk like champs.

Here is another old Green Bone in a Case 64047P 4 blade stockman pattern. This one dates at 1940-50's and these patters with the P or PU (punch blade) are rarer than the ones without the punch blades.

This knife was carried for many, many moons by my one of my very cool uncles (now deceased). Notice how truly pocket worn the scales are along with the sheild. The jigging on this knife is worn nearly smooth and has a sort of glow to it.. it really feels sweet in your hand.
