Let's see some old slipjoints

[Railroader]

A few more of my Case favorites..



The ol trapper up top was a gift from my Dad when I got to my first duty station...

Don't remember how I came to own the Canoe..

And I have always had a Sodbuster or two around...

This past year, I started carrying one a week or two, and swapping them out. It's fun, and a knife stuck in a drawer ain't no good for nothing...

And the Old Timer/Uncle Henry crowd...



And some Bucks..



"The Drawer"..



It's a bit of a sickness, but when I am dead and done, my grandboys The Kid and Little Brother will have a fine start on hoards of their own... ?

I guess this one is qualified as a classic by now. I'm 54, and it's been in my pocket every day since I was 16. OT77 Muskrat Trapper.

Yep, that's a classic indeed! What an awesome picture!!! Only thing missing is a cast iron pan and some taters. Thanks for sharing NCH

I'd love to get my hands on a couple of older Old Timers like we had in our youth. Don't see many originals around anymore.

My wife’s father collected and went to all the blade shows. When he passed she opted to have his collection given to all the young kids in the family. They went from sitting in cases to being service knives.
We discussed as we do not have kids and the collection had some valuable knives in it to be put into service.
Well after a discussion, you now have 9 year olds carrying $500 collectible Bowie knives and folders?

Got out and absorbed some sunshine today,,, much needed. Carried along a Camillus Barlow, the most repeated pattern in my collection. There is just something special about the simplicity of a Barlow in my eyes.

I’ve got one just like the 3rd picture. The sharpest knife I’ve ever owned.

Kudos for not losing it after all those years. I lose one or two every year it seems…. I do everything in my power to take them out of my pocket and keep them in the same spot but they always seem to grow legs and walk off.

My grandfather’s neighbor gave me this one when I was maybe 6 or 7. I’m contradicting my above post but I somehow kept up with it. The blade says “Camillus 1961”.

I’ve had this one for decades. I found it recently going through some “stuff”.

This old Case, has been retired to spend its days opening mail. My best recollection is I got it from a box of my Dads belongings after he passed away. Scared to lose it so it will remain on the table beside my recliner. Also have a few uncle Henry knives, one I bought many years ago, and the one I bought my dad, a double blade.
