I used to install linoleum those curve blade knives are perfect.You have perfect control to cut the linoleum up against the bead board or whatever kind of molding you have. extremely perfect control with the curve blade in the trade you would tuck in carpet and linoleum you push on the carpet to tuck so we call them tuckers Or drop point like you said😊
Beautiful knives Paddy! I think my favorite patterns are the Barlow and the sod buster. So many different patterns, colors and handle materials in the traditional pocket knife world! Thank you for sharing! Be well!!
SOOOO jealous of the Tidioute Gun Stock,I'd rate that as a Grail knife. My prettiest knife is the RR Sow Belly trapper in Brown Stag, I have had a couple of months and not tired of using it.
Very good looking knives. I am thinking of trying some slipjoints. Only have a couple but found 2 old peanuts tucked away in my father's belongings. Have no idea how long they were there have some rust I need to get out of them. Enjoyed seeing the collection well part of it. Enjoy your tea. Stay safe and keep your blades sharp.
That RR is a very nice shape. Cotton Samplers were used to cut samples from cotton bales for classing. Different grades of cotton should be baled separately, the inferior cotton, not fit for clothing might be sold for example as filling or insulation. The superior is graded to suit various purchaser's requirements.
Living in the US, and in a state where I can basically carry any size or type of knife and nobody bats an eye, I still have to say that I love a good traditional slipjoint over pretty much anything else.
Nice assortment of slippies you've got there, and you're right. There's so much fascinating history, I can see why people go down this rabbit hole or even collect just one type of knife.
Hello. Really beautiful knives. It is great to go back and see what we carried as young men. I had forgotten how pretty they were. You are right about the peanut being a first knife, i bought one when i was about 8 and got a right telling off from my mum. Hihi. Really nice to see them coming back and being reviewed on several channels. Good health and stay safe.
You have an excellent sampling of many of the classic traditional patterns! Looks like the bug has bitten you, as well :) Thanks for sharing your growing traditional knife collection as there is certainly something special about them!
Hi, Paddy, nice video. The very first slip joint the Buck 373 Stockman, that I have too. I do have many Bokers but not a Barlow, try to check out Boker Tree Brand series made in Germany with 141611 German steel. It is comparable to the high carbon 795. Trappers are my favourite, I have from the small to large, Old Timers n Uncle Henry. Old or new designs I like a knife with character. Piggy.
Beautiful, gonna dig out my rough riders, and have a fondle,, ha ha, You're right, all the technical super steel knives need to be balanced out, with the pretty pocket knives,, And best of all, most of the lovely traditional slip joints are UK friendly,, !! Really great video Paddy,,, All the best, , John ,
This is a nice group of traditional knives that you have here! I appreciate knives for their artistic value and this is a very interesting group. Thanks for showing them to me!
Those GECs are beautiful! I love that Gun Stock. Great video. My advice for a person who normally doesn’t carry a slip joint or is just starting out would be a single blade and relatively large. Not to mention there are plenty of traditional lockbacks and linerlocks. Both types of licking blades were patented over a hundred years ago! Great video. I love that variety you pulled out!
I have a couple of lockbacks like a buck 55 but ill put them in the last video. Really glad you enjoyed it though. I think there will be more of traditional videos moving forward. Atb paddy 👍☘️😊
,, great review I remember when I was 12 years old for my birthday my daddy gave me my first case double xx I bet you I had that knife for at least 10 years before I finally lost it
You have some.great knife collection ,I prefer locking blades.but you have some my favorite pocket knife you lift out the old timer.every man should carry some sort of a knife on him they are just handy as hell to have on you for so many reason ,knife is a great tool.
I have many of the ones you just showed.....love the Rough Riders and love the beauty of these pen knives!! As always, enjoy your reviews even though you talk funny for an Alabama boy to decipher!!! 🙃🥴🧐
Lovely and interesting collection of trad's you have Paddy 😎 i've not gone down the trad road myself as yet but your video is certainly making me curious...
Very nice collection of traditionals, Paddy. They definitely have great personality! I frequently carry my small “Old Timer” 34OT. I still haven’t picked up one from Great Eastern yet.
Bolsters do add protection against impact, but I believe non-bolster shadow patterns are structurally stronger because there's just one continuous covering.
Love the little stockmans reminds me of my grandpa he carried an old timer stockman for easily 65 years obviously not the same one but I still have them. He would carry them so long that the blades are all sharpened down to the thumb slit and more or less useless as a knife. It's a shame too because a few of them are Belknap old timers would be highly collectible but I could never part with them.
I just love your selection here Paddy partly because I own a lot of them. lol I've carried slip joints for a very long time and rarely had a problem with any of them closing prematurely on me. Of course you must have a basic understanding of what end of the knife to use so that might be what their problem is (those that reject slip joints as an edc out of safety reasons). You reviewed a yellow Rough Rider Classic Carbon slip joint a couple of months back. That whole line (Classic Carbon) would be an excellent place for people to start to check out what slip joints are all about while not spending a lot of money and getting a pretty dam good knife in the mix too, imo.
I have a couple traditional knives, one was my dads the other I bought cus it was cool lookin. I love em for there looks and I’m sure I’ll get more just for a collection but I don’t really use them
Wonderful video, sir. I love all of them! The GEC's are amazing knives as are the Rough Riders. I don't know how they can make such fine knives at such a low price point. Fit and finish and quality of materials are top drawer, most of the time.
2019 gonna be my classic knife year...have gec,case and rough rider knives. And rough rider knives thats what Im gonna get the most of...(English bad😊)
@@paddyspotatopeelers2154 thank you looked on there a while ago might just see if I can order one through them bought all my RR knives through them so far but only seen buckshot barlow and tooth pick about
I own the exact same Böker Barlow I take it that you bought it from heinnie haynes. Also where did you get the GEC's from I can't seem to find any in Britain. Great video.
I bought mine from friends in USA. I've heard of a man, Mike's knives. In Devon that does them but I don't know anything about him sorry. I've just bought a schatt and morgan from moonraker knives and they also do queen. Mine was pretty good. Atb paddy
@@paddyspotatopeelers2154 cheers for the information. I guess I'll have to stick with Case knives I've just ordered the sodbuster and sodbuster Jr in yellow delrin CV steel. Have a good one. 👍
Patty wow my friend you have come a far way........ Great great job check my video out maybe today I bought the new Texas toothpick GEC...... I put a video out yesterday on my new boker check the video out from yesterday!!!!!!!
