My Father, Uncles, and Grandfathers always carried this size stockman, small two blade pen knives, and small lockbacks. They would carry Uncle Henry, Buck, Case, and Old Timer. At that time, Case and Buck were considered very premium and most people had Old Timers (which had scary good, sharp high carbon steel on them). Uncle Henry was also considered a step up at that time. I remember trapper knives and big Buck lockbacks would always cause a sideways glance, because the senior folks at that time just thought it was major overkill (a big part of this was that these knives were really too large to be ideal for whittling, which used to be a very big thing where I am from). Very good video and thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching and I have carried every single knife on that list and still carry a full size buck 110 I don't care what anybody says but those old timers knew something we didn't about knives and life in general
Nice review. I ordered myself one of these from the Shepherd Hills website. I have the peanut from the same line and it's great. Now I want to carry something with three blades! I also prefer that blade finish over the mirror polish that's on most of their other lines. When I open delivery boxes it seems harder to wipe away tape residue off the polished blades.
@sixgunslingin, it just arrived and it's a keeper for sure. One thing I noticed is that in current production they now assemble them with two brass liners between the springs to help the blades fit better.
Thank you for your advice and it was good chatting with you, I hope you show your whole collection someday. You could put wee jud On your shoulders and he could film them all at once! :)
