Let's see some old slipjoints

[AceOfTheBase]

Carried a pocket knife since I was a kid.
Cut myself bad on a cheap slipjoint that wouldn't stay open.
Buck 501 was exactly what I was looking for, expensive at the time but worth it.
Had this one since about 1976, its been around, like USA, UK, Germany, France,
all back before TSA & metal detectors.
Sharpened enough to change the blade shape.

I picked up one of those a while back, it is a SWEET carrying blade. Hardly know it's in your pocket. But big enough to skin one if you needed to!

That is funny! I am 400 years old and I have never heard them called slipjoints! I need to get out more!

Yeah...me too! When I clicked on the thread I was expecting to see pictures of old pliers!

But I looked at every picture...interesting thread.
