Yesterday and today was a Sabre/Japan large single blade barlow/trapper(?) I found at a flea-market this weekend. Sawcut bone handles, carbon blades, half-stops, pretty sturdy knife. It'll be a good user.
Tonight I got out the Queen City Cutlery Classic teardrop jack in 1095 and antique green jigged bone.
A few swipes on the fine diamond, plus a few more on the ceramic and it's NICE and sharp.
I think I'll be totin' this one for a while. 3-7/8" closed.
The only slipjoint I carry everyday for now is a black Victorinox Executive. It's an SAK, but I still feel it is a traditional pattern, a gentleman's 'lobster' pen knife.
Every time I go in this traditional forum, though, I get the itch to buy more old-time patterns. I've been thinking maybe a toothpick, 2-blade jackknife of some sort, or whatever.
