Thanks for the additional photo, Kurt. I was quite sure your main blade was NOT a spearpoint, which is quite standard for a canoe, but I didn't realize your secondary blade was NOT a typical-for-canoe pen blade.
I don't know much about the history/origin of the canoe pattern, but Case has made them for a long time. I have lots of canoe knives, but only a few of mine have single spring; my impression is that single-spring canoes used to be more common "in olden times", while the majority of canoes today are 2-spring models.
I sometimes refer to a copperhead as a half-canoe because it has the canoe-style joint-covering bolster on only one end, but I don't know if they're really related. Most canoes have spear/pen blade combo with a blade at each end, while copperheads often have a clip/skinner (or drop point) blade combo, both on the same end with the canoe-style bolster. I have a few copperheads, and they all have an end cap on the end opposite the pivot, so NOT bareheaded. (Then you have mini copperheads, which have a blade on each end, with a canoe-style bolster on the end where the secondary blade pivots, and a "normal" bolster on the end anchoring the main blade.

Thanks for that great answer GT. I sometimes think of Hamm’s Beer when thinking of this pattern. I remember an advertisement with a couple of bears in a canoe paddling in the land of sky blue waters.

Headed out soon to the Post Office, lunch at the Brass Rail Restaurant, groceries at the Holiday Market and a Visual Fields test at the Optometrist for Cindy. A Scout Trapper with African Rosewood covers seems an appropriate carry for todays travels. No breakfast - saving room for lunch.

Browning USA 4018F Lockback

I'm curious as to who made these knives for Browning, do you know? I have one that looks the same and I have always loved the look and feel of it.

Looks like a Case, to me.

A couple-three days ago it was 70F. Today not so much. 30F with steady wind in the twenties (mph) with gusts into the forties After the garbage truck went by, I went out to retrieve my trash can before it blew away, picked up my mail and took a couple of pics, and it feels much colder than 30 All in all not a nice day to be out



Yesterday's knife was synthetic ebony. Today's is the real thing
