Knife Blades and Patterns

I thought this was worth adding to the common stock of PSF knowledge. It’s from The Shooter’s Bible, #64, 1973 Edition.

The Stockman is where its at for me. I carried a Schrade Stockman shape for years and must have lost it a dozen times. I found it every time...except the last time. I have a Case Copperhead I carry now. A fine knife that I bought on looks alone, but I still miss that Schrade.

Back in our day before everyone became " tactical "

I still have a majority of my , what's called traditional knives these days . Way back, my daddy Barlow I kept straight down in my back pocket with my wallet ( folded of course ) . For the time, that was considered a sizable knife to carry . Guys woukd say things like ... damn , John, that's a big knife .
Remember the 1 is none and 2 is one saying
I believe the stockman is the best all around bad ass folder . I ilike one with a stout sheepfoot blade . The clip and spay can be stout or slender , I'm good with either . I used the sheepfoot the most
Everything looks these days and with one blade usually . It's safer but I think it's a shame the young guys dont learn on a slip joint ... to teach them respect and how to use a knife with forward force , it teaches control

To a lot of people the idea of a “slipjoint” is foreign. If it’s not a lock blade of some type they don’t know what to do with it. I see people all the time using a pocket knife for things better suited to larger, more robust tools. I often think a slip joint would fold up and give them a good cut: lesson learned about how to use a pocket knife. One of my favorite sounds is the noise that a pocket knife’s blade makes as it snaps off at the choil. Usually followed by cursing and some derogatory remarks indicating the user believes the blade to be substandard. Lol.

The Case Copperhead I have is a lockback. I wish it wasn't. I can't count the times I tried to close it forgetting for a second its a lockback. Handy for some, but just an annoyance to me.
