I have a double blade knife that belonged to my great grandpa. It's super old, still holds an edge and is one of my edc.
That’s real special. He carried that in his pocket probably. From my experience, the old knives are made of a higher quality and the steel is superior.....

I think that older knives cut better is because the blades seem to ground a little thinner ,which makes for a better slicing edge. I personally love the old schrade 80ot stockmans. Great video, thanks.
I've got the old Stockman knife that my father was issued in the military back in Vietnam it's got yellow plastic handles and the blade show their wear with the clip point blade looking more like a spear point now he had it for close to 40 years before he died I carry it from time to time whenever I feel I need him with me
Thanks for sharing Daniel. Knifes like that are priceless.
Very cool!! What brand of stockman is it?
The part I like most is when you are dining in the restaurant with a high ranking corporate executive and you pull out your carbon-steel knife, blades duly oiled to prevent rusting, and start cutting your steak. Maybe you can impress the executive by cutting his too.
I’ve done it. Haha
I don't hunt, just want a small knife to open packages. I like Victorinox and the Canoe style.
Good Choices
I love traditional knives and their history, thanks for sharing. Subscribed
In the UK, these are called penknives.
They were used to sharpen quill ink pens.
They are referred by that here on occasion as well. Cheers.
I love the trapper pattern and the large swell center jack knives and the full size case copperlock. Their great edc knives and they are handy hunting and fishing knives too.
Yes Sir !
I love the old carbon steel knives and carry one everyday. They cut like no ones business and are easy to sharpen. You can also send your fathers knife into case and they should be able to replace the handle if it’s something you’re interested in. Their warranty is pretty good.
I did send the dark handled knife into Case and they would not replace the handle because they did not make that particular model anymore and sent it back to me. I was a bit disappointed with this. As far as I know, if it was still a model in production, such as the mini trapper, they would have replaced it.
Such a shame if I had the skills I’d make you one
I collect traditional slip joint knives and the case trapper is my every day carry great video thanks for sharing
Enjoyed the video. You're right, traditional knives are a rabbit hole 😂 you want more. I have a fair collection of Victorinox and some tactical/flipper knives but just recently started collecting the slipjoint type. I had a few, one is an older Shrade Bruin it's a lockback but from the 70s. I carry a Buck mini trapper every day now. I work as an aircraft mechanic so we're allowed to carry knives on the airport up to 4 inches in length. I have a Buck Spitfire on me also but pilots and passengers don't quite give me the stare if I pull out my mini trapper to cut or trim something while working on the aircraft as they do when I flip out the Spitfire 😂 But now I'm just really getting into the slip joints a lot more. I have a few Case, some Old Timers just enjoying exploring all the different models. I've always carried a pocket knife since I was a kid (63 now)but didn't get the itch to really start collecting till about 5 years ago. Anyway rambling on thanks for sharing you make some good points.
I would like to pick up a couple of the Victorinox Swiss knives as they are a lot of fun. I did just get my first out the front knife. It’s a Microtech and it’s my new EDC along with my stockman. I love the convenience factor and the glass breaker. I use this feature often to bust seals in bottles! Lots of fun. Cheers.
You said that these knives have been around for a couple of hundred years. According to Wikipedia, "A pocketknife with a bone handle was found at the Hallstatt Culture type site in Austria, dating to around 600-500 BCE."
My dad gave me a Case knife when I was about 10 years old. I carried it everywhere (most boys carried knives to grade school in the 1950's) until a friend borrowed it and lost it.
Thanks for the info Bob. I’ll check in to the Austrian find. That is one thing about pocket knives, they can be lost easily.
quick story: in 2009, when I pulled out a Buck Cadet (somewhere between a Case Medium and Small Stockman), to cut the seal on a big far full of pretzels at a meeting of engineers, the group leader asked me what the hell I was doing with a weapon on company property. On the other hand he had no problem with the largest pair of scissors you ever saw, in the hands of another person there. I kept carrying that one, no charges or official action was taken, but I hunted down a pair of scissor when I needed to cut something at work, just sayin'
That said, I carried the Buck because I didn't want to risk losing my favorite pocket knife: a Case Medium Texas Jack, with with CV blades and amber bone jigged scales. I lost it for a few years, so I bought a couple more for good measure. I found it about a year later. I swap it out now and then for another Case traditional, or a Victorinox, or even some assisted type, but I always come back to this knife
Great story John. To Hell with Corporate. Start your own Engineering Firm and charge the hell out of them !
I know this video is 3 years old but it is obvious now where traditionals are going. They are on the up and up with modern brands like Benchmade even making their own now in some form
100%. Traditional Knives will always be in a Gentleman’s pocket.
I have a case genuine stag medium stockman I don’t have any of the old case knives although I plan to get one maybe in the future and try it out but my newer one works just fine for what I need it for
They are addictive. If you have one, you want them all.
I literally carry these type knives for everything people over estimate what they need now although if you can have a fancy knife why not
Thank you for the comment. I will always have a soft spot for these types of knives and they will always be part of my EDC.
@@STEELNAVIGATOR1 like wise :)
Have an old Taylors Eye Witness from the 50s, it's maybe in stainless but it's so old even that has a patina (or its carbon steel). The steel on this is very good, it takes seconds to make razor sharp. I have modern TEWs and the steel does seem different. I particularly like carbon steel for whittling or carving, a carbon steel Barlow with a good tear drop shaped handle is still a great wood working pattern after 400 years.
I’ll do some research on the Taylor’s knife. Never heard of it. I wonder how a blade made out of titanium would do? Any thoughts?
@@STEELNAVIGATOR1 I'd presume you could get a good mix of metals with the titanium that would be good for knife blades, could be sharpened and keep an edge. There were knife blades made from meteorites in ancient Egypt, I'm sure some of them have titanium in them.
@@jelkel25 Awesome info
I carry most patterns of slip joints but my favorite is by far the sodbuster jr. Whatever other knives I have on me, a soddy is my daily.
Is there any other brands you like other than Case?
@@STEELNAVIGATOR1 I have some Bucks and Rough Ryder’s but I’ve always liked Case.
@@jamesstraub4981 What do you think about Hen & Rooster?
@@STEELNAVIGATOR1 I like their older German made knives as well as some of the German Boker's but they're not all made in Solingen. I think the H&R's took a hit in quality when Frost bought them though.
I prefer my swiss army knife. I still have the victorinox walker, my father gave me when i was a child.
Excellent choice. Everyone needs a Swiss Army knife.
Great video I have a case yellow delrin trapper just like that. I absolutely love it. With that natural patina I assume you have used it a while and I was wondering if your knife anywhere on the handle does it have any pin or hairline cracks in it(handle)? Mine has a small one is that going to be a issue later on or should it be fine? Kinda gives it a little bit of character I guess. What do you think?
Hello Aaron,
As long as you don’t drop the knives with these types of handles, any cracks should be ok. I believe the cracks are caused by the pins put in place to hold the handles together. Also, the type of handle material also will affect the durability. As far as I know, if a handle breaks, if the manufacturer is reputable and the model is still manufactured, they should replace the handle at no charge.
-Jeff
@@STEELNAVIGATOR1 thank you for the input
What about the blades. Why have 2? What is each blade designed for?
It’s good to have extra slicing options and perhaps have one blade that is clean and sterile.
Society might be timid to some knives with locking mechanisms. I’m timid to put a good edge on my slip joints. I’m going to have to find my Camillus trapper and possibly some Crazy Glue for my fingers. Oh yeah and 1st.
Accidentally cutting ourselves is part of the game... I’ve certainly got the scars... We have to learn the hard way sometimes..... I’ve found, keeping a great edge on great steel works, minimal pressure needed. Let the knife do the work.....- Jeff
I’ll take a CV or high carbon steel knife over any modern knife steel.
Absolutely !!
What is the knife called
Which one?
Stockman
Great Choice !
@@STEELNAVIGATOR1 always wanted one with abalone scales because I live close to the island
@@gbro1988 I’ll have to research. I’m not familiar with Abalone Scales.
