Large Lockback Folding Hunters - Buck, I*XL, Old Timer, Uncle Henry & More - Sticker Shout-outs

[@SaturdaySportsman]

I have an LB7 from the 80's. My dad gave it to me for a hunting knife. I carry it to this day. Solid knife.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

A very family passed along type of knife. I hear stories like this quite often when it comes to folding hunters from Buck, Uncle Henry and Old Timer knives.

[@KnifeDetector]

Hey, I used to have that hot wheels as a kid!!Great video buddy! Thanks!!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Much appreciated KD. Yea, I went back and bought some of the Hot Wheels I recall having as a kid. Those were fun times and I like being reminded of them. Be well my friend.

[@RJsKnives]

Nice group of hunters! I have the older LW Buck from the 80’s. The handle more duplicates the 110 handle than these later models. I really appreciate the folding hunters, it was all that I loved as a teenager.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I think I've got my quota of them. I'm patiently waiting the return of the "Atrocity 110" that I sent Buck for a blade replacement. It was a flea market find that had been hacked all to heck.

[@WilliamsKnifeLife]

Thanks for the shout out & sticker trade buddy. I'm getting a couple more folding Hunters in from Rough Ryder. Your folding Hunter series made me realize they are one of my favorite patterns. I like Desert Ironwood. The Walmart Buck 110LT is a decent price. The Slim Select is nice looking too. Great reviews buddy.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks for the trade William. Glad you enjoyed the reviews. I look forward to seeing any recent purchases. The 6OTW is a good looking piece.

[@rahtoren6385]

I had old timer big fold lock blade . Used it my main hunting knife with old timer skinner with rip hook.

[@JollyPeanut]

Thats a great selection. The Buck knives are good practical work knives but the one that caught my eye is the Frakenstein IXL3 that one is the most interesting one to me. Good videoThanks TK

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Good value on that IXL. Thanks for taking the time Jolly.

[@felinebline7154]

Well done review. The IXL hard to argue against. $8.86 on matrix.

[@jimmyj4811]

Great review, thanks! I really like those 5" folder lockbacks.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Glad you like them. Thanks for watching Jimmy.

[@rustyknifelover4463]

William is awesome, I absolutely enjoy his sense of humor. Tobias is really interesting and has helped me learn allot about traditional knives. Warthogg is another awesome member of the community.I hope he is able to return.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Couldn't agree more!

[@felinebline7154]

I picked a Right Edge Big John. 6.00. Happy I did.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Great budget piece for the money. Let me know how it holds up.

[@Zen_Ali_123]

That IXL is the deal

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Yes, it's a bargain.

[@kirbycreekmo]

There is just something extra appealing about a large clip blade folder.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

There really is. Thanks TKCO.

[@owlwithwhiplash8568]

Your vid’s have really been helping me get into the world of traditional lockbacks. Have you seen the frost cutlery Commanche Bigfoot? It’s a production model that’s still pretty easy to obtain. Any chance you know of other similarly sized knives? Thanks for the content.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I'm familiar with the Commanche, but not sure of others similar to it. Thanks, Owl.

[@skcamerican]

Good shout-outs! Two fine channels, for sure. Sometimes Tobias swaps out his hobo face for Red Skelton’s. A funny for us old folks. I’m not a huge Buck 110 fan - I didn’t have one as a kid, unlike most knife folks. I like that Golden Bear in ironwood, though. Real handsome. Appreciate the info on knife companies. I’ve been looking at some old Parkers on eBay - digging that 1980s esthetic of slabs of white bone.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Years and years of 110 copies to find out there. A good many are junk, but certainly not all. Thanks Su.

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Rite Edge uses Pakkawood. Buck often uses DymondWood. What's DymondWood? Bucks trademark name for Pakkawood! LOL. I really like that IXL with the barehead! The Schrade LB7 is a Classic! And yep, that is pakkawood. The 7OT is the same frame as the Schrade LB7. I prefer the one with the Desert Ironwood (6OTW) Buck LW from Walmart seems like the Bargain of the day! THe OD Buck is also pretty cool But you have to admit, the two economy Bucks seemed to have a little bit of Jim Frost "Tactical Folding Hunter" Still I like that OD Slim Select and its a USA Buck!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

The LB7 is my favorite among the group of seven. Yes, the Frost flying saucer. Thus named 'cus when you wiggle the blade the washer goes a flying. I'd hope a USA Buck would do better, but it is reminiscent in appearance. The IX*L is the budget king. I doubt they stick around long.

[@herbertsmith6416]

Yea.tobias is very enterprising to listen to I enjoy it.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Tobias has a great channel, lots of interesting content.

[@FernandoChaves]

I have an early 80's Craftsman knife, similar to a Buck 110. It was made by Camillus. Why don't I see it in KZbin Videos? I carry it. I inherited it from my father a few years ago and in was brand new in the package when I got it. In general I have to ask, on KZbin, where is Camillus?

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Camillus isn't the player in the knife world they used to be since closing shop in the US. They made some solid pieces in the day. There's Camillus reviews out there, keep searching. One example from my friend Knife Delights kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH6ci3ahZa-LmKs

[@FernandoChaves]

@@ThriftyKaniffy Thanks, yes, I am aware of all that. I meant specifically the old Camillus folding hunters. There are many videos about folding hunters that include numerous old models, most often comparing with the Buck 110. I don't think I have found one yet that includes the Camillus made folding hunters.

[@jeroenvoss6231]

That was pretty usefull information TK. Now i have to find out what they sell over here, the prices on the Buck's are mostly double, what they cost in the USA. 90-110 dollars on a Buck 110 standard. So i will look if the sell Rite Edge or IXL over here. Thank you for showing.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks Jeroen, good luck in your search.

[@mikeperkins3469]

Nice lockbacks! 👍

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

There's some terrific quality lockbacks being made today. Welcome to the channel, Mike.

[@felinebline7154]

I've been thinking of the buck 112.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Like minded, Rick.

[@felinebline7154]

@@ThriftyKaniffy in keeping with Thrift I'm looking at those Rite Edge. A few bucks$.

[@richardweilandt3315]

I like the Rough Rider knives. Yes they are inexpensive, and to some they might not be the most desirable for a collection. But how many company's do you know that make a single blade 5" Barlow or a Large folding Toothpick ? 2 Iconic designs that belong in every slip joint collection. Now on to this video. Nice video, nice knives. I have not yet gotten a Rite Edge folding hunter yet but it looks pretty sweet. The XL reminds me of the 7OT with the lanyard hole.

[@richardweilandt3315]

I love my 6OTW with desert Ironwood scales. Slim but sturdy. I would carry it as EDC if it had a thumb stud and a pocket clip, it's just that great a knife

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks for the comments Richard. The Rite Edge are great discovery knives to determining if you like carrying a particular pattern. I've seen qute a few people add third party thumbstuds to all sorts of folding hunters like the 6OTW.

[@ministrychannelsa4216]

Ka-bar also has a folding hunter. It's very affordable. In fact it's the same price as the Buck 110 LT, but it's all metal also with a 420c blade. I bought this since I can't afford a Buck 110 classic. This was the closest thing that I could find that fitted my pocket and it's my daily carry for one year now. I absolutely love it. There is something else I love though, and that's your channel. Great job! I love your reviews mate.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks very much, Ministry. I'm happy to hear someone finding enjoyment out of the channel. Take care.

[@ministrychannelsa4216]

@@ThriftyKaniffy you too mate

[@pa1adin111]

Folding hunters are great. I'm looking to pick up an Uncle Henry Papa Bear next. I know a lot of people don't care for the Uncle Henry fake stag but I like them. They remind me of the knives I'd see in the hardware store and sporting goods store displays when I was a kid.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Probably in agreement with most that don't care for the Stagalon handles though I do own a few of them. Tobias once referred to it as melted crayon chewed on by a four year old, but sentimentality I understand and it gives you the right "feels" nothing else matters.

[@ragnarone5409]

I like Delrin handles, Remigton Knives use it and Puma SGB call it commado stag.

[@insanogeddon]

440C from Japan at that price is a steal. Worldwide 24/7 you can get a Buck and the classic is living history, progress, sculpture, and game changing tool in one best thing is you can get a Buck slim in the same size, same steel, same consistant heat treat to use as a work knife so use is 2nd nature. It is a beautiful thing to have a trainer / worker so you know the steel and handle shape inside and out so when you crack out that safe piece it has meaning beyond fiscally irresponsible playtime.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

There's a lot fiscally irresponsible playtime going on beyond the knife world, but I digress. Thanks insanogeddon

[@terrillschneider3778]

Nice collection TK

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Glad you enjoyed it Terrill. I may have to revisit this with some new additions.

[@stuartgross162]

I have the IXL. It is a pretty nice knife. And of course the Rite Edge, which I like. I think I paid 10-11 for the big John. You got a great deal.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks Stuart I too like the IXL. Hit me up with an email to provide a link to where you got those recent Rite Edges you purchased. Thanks for the patronage.

"Knife Chats With Tobias" has the most knowledge of traditional pattern knives, old and new, on the internet. The "Hobo" is an homage to Red Skeleton (an old school comedian/performer from years ago) I think. The Hobo was Reds most beloved character.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I'm old enough to be aware of Red Skelton. Thanks for the comment John and welcome to the channel.

[@Toadonthehill.]

Definitely agree with you about the IXL , it’s a beauty. You’ve tickled my fancy for Hunter style folders so I’m gonna make a video to show off my Hunter knives. I really need to get myself a 110 or maybe 2 or 3 as they have a couple of variations to consider. I already Sub the channels you mentioned and couldn’t agree with you more, they both have individual styles and both are brilliant at what they do, if I only had a fraction of their talent I would be happy 🤩. Great video brother 🎅🏻👍.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Toad, thanks so much for supporting all of us. The knife community is definitely greater than the sum of its parts. I'm glad you could find something of interest in the large lockback videos. Be well brother. 🎅🏻

Your IXL is the best buy of the year because of the materials and price 👍 It's the best of the bunch in my book. The rest look pretty good too.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Good choice! Thanks Andrew.

[@diverdave2179]

I agree about the IXL. Got a 112 LT, and it is probably what I would take if ever I carried, along with a Dozier. Owned the Old Time with Desert Ironwood before, but it had a big gap, so I sold it. Too bad, I bet with use the patina would be great. And thanks for pointing that out about the Hobo. Tobias and William are two very different characters, love their discussions.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks for the feedback DD. I appreciate hearing what people carry. The Hobo thing I should have recognized way sooner.
