I would recommend picking up a vintage American made Imperial, Schrade, Utica, etc knife on Ebay. You can get them sub 20 dollars and they work great. The fit and finish isn't the best but hey for 10 bucks what can you expect. It's also a great way to build an inexpensive collection of neat little pieces of cutlery history.

Randy, Thank you for another awesome video! I have learned so much about traditional knives from you. In fact, most of what I've learned has been through your videos (modern knives notwithstanding) and I often chase the same brands and models you personally own as I know if you have them, they must be the best of the best in their respective categories. My wife isn't very happy about it when the postman brings another package but it's worth the arguing many times over. LOL Keep em coming!

What a stupid comment, and specially if you're american. I've been wanting to buy myself a victorinox and have started to watch a bunch of knives videos over the last two weeks, and not only that, as someone that likes knives I've seen plenty of them over the years, and you americans have literally an unlimited access to all kind of knives of all shapes, sizes, colors, whatever. I can't even carry a knife that's longer than 2 and a half inches in my country and you're complaining about "PoLiTIIiCss!!!". Shut up, m8.

I've always called them scales. I grew up calling it covers for the older knives that used plastic or celluloid. A lot of those celluloid knives were clipped on to the liner, sort of like today's Swiss Army Knives.

It's amazing how many people are just seeing or using however you wanna put it slip joints. I remember when there weren't but a handful of lockblades.

Excellent video one thing you did not mention is the dating system specifically for case but others as well. Unlike most of the modernize you usually show these old Timey caseknives actually had a new year and numbering system for each year like a set of baseball cards coming out so that even though in 1971 1972 of the same pattern in scales might look identical the values are completely different because they actually kept track of the number made. They don't do that nowadays with Sabens is an
@stevehuffman74534 жыл бұрын
You said you like a heavier pull. Question: Why do you like to or want to fight your knife to open it when your hands are cold and/or wet? Useage does NOT lessen the pull over time. (nor does opening the blade half way and leaving it sit that way for weeks or months) I have an vintage/antique Robeson pen knife, that is well over 100 years old. Pull on it is a "5" for both blades. I doubt the pull was ever heavier. A heavy pull does not make a knife "safer" the only job of the backspring is to keep the blade closed when NOT in use, and the blade from flopping closed when open. The cutting action actually forces the blade open - unless you're doing something stupid.
