Penknives! Which five are my faves! 

I have to agree with you! I love the hunting scene ones!

Thanks. I really like the Boker. The RR is still sort of available. It seems to go in and out of production.

I'll see what I can do

@@KnifeChatswithTobias I like to see a imperial schrade review and term penknife you are very correct 👍🐾🦊🇬🇧🇮🇹

I can see that with the baby copperhead.

It was hard. I’m sure it’ll change! LOL.

LOL. It's a really cool knife. I need to check my collection, I'm almost positive I have other knives for fishing scenes on them. The 2020 Vic Classic SD limited editions are coming out with one called "Gone Fishing" It looks awesome.

@@KnifeChatswithTobias I will have to get that one for sure!!!

The thing is, in England, any small knife is a penknife. And in America, any small knife is often called a penknife. But these all have their origins as a quill, then later penknife, which at first was a small fixed blade and later became a small folding pocket knife with a long and short spear blade. The smaller blade was used for sharpening the the quill. Overtime just about any small knife pocket knife became known pen knife, especially in England. Jack knives were larger heavier knives with just one blade and was often attributed to being carried by sailors, hence the name Jack; a nickname for sailors. Eventually in America, if the knife had multiple blades opening from both ends it was a Penknife, but if all blades opened from the same end it was a Jack knife. But over time, it has gone back to if it is a small knife, regardless of blade arrangement, it was a penknife and if it was a large knife then it was a jack knife. To make matters worse, large knives are also called a clasp knife! For this reason, I try to clarify what i mean when I'm referring to a specific knife as other definitions are just as correct or acceptable.

@@KnifeChatswithTobias That's as fascinating as it's illuminative! Many thanks for that insight into the history - it's so easy for a relative newcomer to get misled by the nomenclature.

Yeah, it is tough.

After the Classic SD, the Spartan is my favorite SAK to collect. It's a classic. I'f you've got to swap scales, I'd suggest going with plus scales so that you have a slot for the ink pen. They usually come with the pen and the little screwdriver!

@@KnifeChatswithTobias mine did not come with the pen nor do I want one, but I wush I could aquire a custom made pair of scales made from kevlar, fyber glass and couted in NATO ballistic nylon both for my 93 Soartan and my 111 Soldier, granted I did afix the 111 scales to it with Poxipol after I had strip and wash it from when I accidentally dropped in my trash bin.

KayakAngler I bought the Case Sod Buster with the blade etch at SMKW but it’s all over the place. The old Sodbuster Jr was gifted to me.

Glad you liked it.

@@KnifeChatswithTobias do you have the dog penknife web site one with different pics on both sides ty

@@gordontrainer3546 , if it is the one shown around the 29 minute mark, it was made by SMKW. They used to be available at SMKW.com. I did a quick check around and I’m not seeing it anywhere. I’ve been collecting these sort of knives for over ten years.

@@KnifeChatswithTobias ty

@@KnifeChatswithTobias cool thanks

It's okay, I survived. And stress builds character.
