Hey Knifenuts,
I am in the market for a new slippie. I have several patterns and am partial to the ones with half-stops. The only production models I have noticed with the stops are in the Case CV line. Surely there are others? What makers have them? I love my Case Mini Trapper and Peanut. I was hoping the Slimeline Trapper had the h-s but no. Just curious as to what makers and what steels have them? Thanks
 
case uses them them in both their cv and ss lines the ones that i know have half stops are the swaybck jack, barlow, peanut, and mini trapper.

those are the ones that i own and i know there are tons of others out there and im sure some of our other brothers of the traditional forum will chime in and enlighten us.
 
I have a few with Half stop

Case mini trapper CV
case peanut SS

all 1095
GEC 25 barlow single blade
GEC#73 scout (maybe "THE" half stop knife?)
GEC#48 trapper
GEC #53 harness jack (the 53 stockman and furtaker have no half stops)

the 23# has it in both single and trapper blades

I know these beacause I own them, don't know many others

I have a few Case peanuts and they all have half stops. I think it may be pattern specific. I know GEC is pattern specific. Below is what I know about the GECs. All the patterns are/have been available in 1095, some in 440c, and a handful in 420.

With Half Stops:
#23 Pioneer
#25 Ez-Open, Jack
#48 Trapper, Single Bladed Trapper, Jack
#54 Harness Jack, Cigar Whittler, Big Jack
#61 Congress, Half Congress
#62 Easy Pocket Congress
#65 Ben Hogan
#73 Scout, Jack

Without Half Stops:
#12 Toothpick
#26 Sleeveboard
#33 Conductor
#36 Sunfish
#53 Cuban Stockman, Muskrat, Furtaker Trapper
#56 Dogleg Jack
#66 Serpentine Jack, Calfroper
#72 Lockback

Mixed:
#89 Executive Whittler has Half Stop on main blade but not on secondary blades.

Unknown (by me):
#28 French Kate
#46 Whaler

Canal Street Cutlery - I'm not aware of any with half stops

Case - Pen knife does not, Swayback jack does. All my Case/Bose collabs have half stops (Slimline Trapper, Dogleg Jack, Norfolk, Tribal Spear)

Queen - #11 Utility, #21 Senator, #26 Stockman, and #71 Country Cousin do not have half stops. #51 Dogleg Jack, #15 Half Congress and Dan Burke small Barlow have half stops.

Also, the S&M Heritage series jacks have half stops.
 
The Case 6249 Copperheads have half stops, and some of the Remington Bullet knives from the 80's have them too.
 
The following GECs have half stops:

#62 Easy Pocket Congress
#65 Ben Hogan

The sleeveboard #26 does not have half stops.

For some reason, I'm unable to edit the above post. Meant to say the #26 does not have them. The other 2 patterns do.
