My main carry is usually a canoe. The ergos of the knife fit my hand just right. They’re weighty enough for serious cutting work but light enough to feel comfortable in my pocket. What believe is the definition of a EDC knife. I love Barlows as well, but the smaller frame makes it more of my typical Sunday carry, when I’m dressed for Worship. My dad always had a canoe in his pocket when I was growing up, so there’s a fair bit of nostalgia for me as well. Thanks for the video, I’m interested in checking out a gunboat now.

Only 5 years late, but I am relatively new to the channel. The canoe is one of my favorite patterns. Got started with canoes with a Fight‘n Rooster Waterfall handle Canittler and their black, green and red 3 canoe series.

Love the canoe. The looks, size is a sweet spot for medium sized hands and it's an easy open for both blades. Great video.

I have a Buck and a GEC 16. The feature of a canoe that I find appealing, other than the broad spearpoint blades, is how the blade tangs are almost hidden by the bolsters.

The canoe is becoming my favorite pattern

Quite educational for those of us interested in learning different knife patterns ..Thank You!

Thanks Tobias I really enjoyed learning about the canoe. It has me even considering giving the pattern a try.

The cigar and canoe patterns are my favourite beautiful knives

Great review as always! I recently bought 2 Case canoes. One is SS and one in CV.

I love how they feel in hand, not to big in the pocket, backup blade, great knife to have

Great video and comparison. I just got me the same case canoe knife yesterday. With its wide thin blades it slices up food like no other. I cut up an onion yesterday and a couple apples and it instantly developed that beautiful patina. I’ve been getting into barlows and canoes lately for carry. I carry and amber bone rough rider Barlow often. Pretty impressive for a $12 knife. I like the different variations rough riders offer. Thanks for the video

I really like the canoe pattern.......... the copperhead is #1 for me thanks Tobias

Can-ittler- that's new to me and now I understand the "gunboat". Thanks!

I just started collecting Rough Ryders maybe a two months ago, and Canoes are my favorite. That's all I buy. I have two small lock backs, which I like too, but the canoe is my favorite. I like its symmetry, and it's traditional look. I just received the Blue Mule canoe, which is really cool, very impressed with it. The other canoes I have are the StoneWorks, love that one, and I have the small Queen City black pearl, which is a jewel, almost litereally. I have the Old South West, canoe too, that's really nice, very solid. And I have the Walmart "Jig Bone" Buck ( I guess that's the name), that's cool, only ten "bucks" no pun intended, but I dropped it and the shield fell out, I found it though, I just need to glue it in. Finally, I have that little red, "Black Cherry Bone" dog leg cocking canoe, that's a little beauty; I recieved that one and the G10 today, both awesome. I just ordered the blue smooth bone canoe, with the round shield, and the Artisan Wood canoe ( the green/yellowish color). But I'm nervous about knives with shields now. I also have that Artisan Wood in a lock back, and the shield was not flush, which drove me nuts, so I popped it out, and scraped the inside of where it's routed in the body with a screwdriver so it sits more flush. It looks better, but I still have to glue it. Should I use gel superglue? It seems I remember you saying to use gel glue somewhere. Maybe wood glue ( Elmer's) for the Artisan Wood. Now I have to buy some doubles so I can give them away.They are really cool.

Great video. Thanks for sharing!

The canoe has a visually balanced design; very satisfactory both to look at and to hold. The variants, larger, smaller, or with different blades alter that balance in a negative way. The standard canoe is a beautiful knife and a pleasure to hold and to use.

Thanks for sharing! It's a great comfy in the pocket pattern. That's what I like the most about it. Plus the spear point in my opinion is the best all around blade shape

Canoes are a great pattern, i have a few, great video!

Love em all 👍🤟🤙✌

I love "rough rider" knifes but just to collect them

Nice overview and great info sir👍😀👊 Cheers

Historical note: When he was assassinated, Abraham Lincoln was carrying a white bone canoe pocket knife similar to the one here at 3:00 but a little bit larger.

I love watching your videos keep em coming!

That rr stockman canoe is pretty damn cool!

I just picked up my first canoe, made by Buck with jig one, so sharp right out of the box it was able to shave my arm, I also have a brand new buck 110 automatic but I can’t carry live in New York so I’m looking to trade it for some slip joints

Am so glad for this video thank you 🙏

Awesome video!

Good stuff... I have that same Case canoe with the canoe engraved in the main blade and same bone handle... They must have made millions of them lol

I have s. Elephant Toenail knife by Rough Rider. It's almost a blend of a Cigar knife and a canoe knife.

I love canoes, my first is unusual it's a Case Gunboat that's 4.25" closed. I've searched the internet but haven't been able to find another example.

Excellent video on an outstanding pattern! I had never heard of the "Can-it-ler" prior to this. It sounds like the Catt Cut Co Jr Scout version they called a "Whit-L-Craft." :) I greatly enjoy your channel, thank you!

I might have a few canoes in fact just picked up a rather attractive Rough Rider that I’ll write about. I would love to share some of you vids to my blog. Lots of people follow that and would love to see it

I have a Case Canoe with two sets of the normal blades, same size, only thicker. 🤔

I like my canoes because they’re easier to open and ride smoothly.

I have a Buck and a RR canoe. A really great pattern! But I find the back springs a bit weak. How is the Case in comparison?

What canoe do you recommend? 9cm? Rough rider?

The Gunboat is new to me. Do you know of any currently on the main market? Can’t say I have seen one. Thanks for the info. Cheers.

Why don't canoes have half-stops generally?

Was sold 3 of a bad batch of Chinese made Buck Canoes with incredibly weak backsprings, the blades sat at an angle when deployed so this was not too safe. Have to say, the other parts of the knives were well made. Won't buy Canoes now (yes, that's irrational). Shame, as they'd be quite useful and they're good looking knives.
