Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

DocJekl DocJekl The White Owl's a fine catch but a Muskrat it certainly is not. It's an Equal- End, sometimes known as a Cigar pattern, that can house 1-4 blades of various types and the frame can be various lengths but symmetric like this. Scout Knives, Cattle Knives are also EE. The White Owl is a Penknife with Clip/Pen all on one spring EE. Muskrats generally have 2 identical blades, often Californian Clips or 2 different blades but of identical size on a Serp frame, often single-spring but not always..

Great Bone on your example, I like the corrugated look :cool:

This arrived yesterday, under 48 hours from South of France to Finland, thank you DHL :cool:

Navette is also an Equal End type, this one in all stainless but you can have carbon should you prefer. VERY pleased with it all round. Thick nicely contoured Stag slabs, very good build indeed, has some firework on the spring and spine, no blade-play or gaps, no raised/sunk spring. Blade is off centre but not rubbing so I don't care.

Sorry about the dull photo and inclusion of grimy thumbnail :eek: but there's now hardly any daylight up here, about 6 hours weak twilight and going down each day, not good but a new knife helps brighten things.

Thanks, Will

I mentioned in another that I purchased three knives from a friend that hunts the flea makekets, I picked up three I liked, one is a I believe is a Robeson SureedgeJack knife , one a demo knife but not marked that has a hollow ground punch and a bottle opener with a stud, and a Camillus 3 blade stockman.

This is carried quite often in a pocket with keys, small Leatherman, a second knife, a brass Fisher Space Pen, and a guitar pick. No slip because it's too much hassle when I need to use the knife. I like the patina I'm putting on the bolsters, the bone, and the blade. This knife's story started as part of the BF community, but now it's also got my story written on it, without in any way removing the first story.

I guess a patina like that is not so bad, after what I said before, but just a few random scrapes on otherwise clean and shiny bolsters would look worse to me.

Thanks, then I guess I only have one Muskrat (Case in green bone) - I was not caught up on what my knives were actually called before, but after being more active on the forum I'm learning about what I have. I used to think knives were either traditional, fixed, or automatic, and learned traditional includes fixed but no clips or one handed opening; but I still don't what what a one handed opener that has no clip and is not an auto is called 🤣
