Late last year I dropped $80 on a Great Eastern Cutlery Whittler.
I just spent $160 on this 4 1/4" custom with stabilized whalebone scales: (and I'm done with slippies for a while)

Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

Not a bad price at all for a custom slipjoint. It's easy to spend a lot more than that on a Case once you get into the pricier scale materials.Sequimite wrote:I bought an $8 Kabar Barlow knife in 1970.

Statistically, it looks like I'm wrong about being done with slippies for a while.
I graphed my three slipjoint purchases and, using least square regression analysis, the resulting curve predicts that by 2017 I will own over a million traditional slippies and will have spent the equivalent of the annual GDP of Fiji.

You just explained why inflation is a total BS lie.Sequimite wrote:Statistically, it looks like I'm wrong about being done with slippies for a while.

Fabulous knife. It's very dangerous watching Stefan's reviews. That's how I ended up with my GEC.MarcusH wrote:Very nice slipjoint!
Just for fun a pic of a classical french slipjoint, the Le Campagnon by Chambriard
