Modern Slipjoint Pocket Knives - Open Tag Response

[@SlipjointSawyer]

Awesome response John, thank you for taking part and the kind words 🙏🏼🫡

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

You bet Slippy. Good Tag. I enjoyed making the video, glad you liked it.

[@AKrawhide.907]

If you were to choose two slip joints with a half stop one for whittling and one for letter opening within a $150 range, which would you choose?

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Case's single bladed slim line trapper as a letter opener and perhaps the newer Spades Appaloosa swell center as a whittler. Thanks, Daniel.

[@John..18]

I've recently got the denim micarta apta, and now I'm really pleased that the handle scales are quite different, from knife to knife,, 😊,, mine looks much darker than yours, with a "closer" pattern to the micarta, It's a superb knife, very sturdy /strong /comfortable.. Great value too.. Some beautiful knives there, thanks for showing us these, 👍

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks John. The APTA series is one to consider for any one that likes modern slipjoints. Real good value.

[@AnthonyCortese-p4s]

Got the CRKT for $29... happy with the deal.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Excellent price for that. Thanks, Anthony.

[@UncommonEDC]

Great collection. I keep seeing that QSP Hedgehog, definitely going to have to grab one at some point. Thanks for sharing!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

It's a solid slipjoint. The handles are pretty awesome. Great blade action and very sharp. Thanks, Uncommon.

[@byronkennedy7912]

Great modern slippys subcollection share, TK ! Luv the drop point blade swap on the 2412 (?) copper, and that Brother 1508 a great value with CF & VG10. Hey TK ... have you seen the brand new RR Texas Star series knives?!?! Pretty lil sowbelly is calling (got a hawkbill and trapper too)! ❤

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I've seen a copperhead, sowbelly trapper, and hawkbill. I'll be getting the copperhead. Thanks, Byron.

[@neverdulledc]

Maybe a dumb question, but what is then purpose in a half stop?

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

It's primarily a safety feature. Thanks Wesley.

[@mikecurtis2585]

Beautiful knives! Very nice collection! Have a wonderful day!!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks very much Michael. Cheers.

[@jelkel25]

A nice little selection there. Only have a couple of knives you haven't mentioned, a Real Steel Solis Lite and maybe my TEW Stockman sort of qualifies, it has more of a modern/traditional design and scale materials. The one CRKT I have has lead a hard life and the blade steel has been great but I can see why you might hesitate on the price and go for something with a better steel for the same price.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Concerning the CRKT, yes I see the argument to get a little more for your money from say a Brother or RR. The Solis Lite looks like a good choice. Thanks, JK.

[@kjgas6945]

The QSP hedgehog is a cool, looking knife in blade shape. The Afta’s are nice I have had one. The real steel knife looks fantastic, and I love the blade shape. The CKRT is nice looking, and I concur about the price! But it is nice! and the brother, 1508 is a very nice looking knife! Thank you for the video.! Have a fantastic day!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks, KJ. Some great knives in this video. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the support.

[@davidkurle5418]

I bought the Venandi last fall, and I really like that knife. Nice lightweight carry for summer! Cheers, buddy!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Yea that's the advantage of that knife, a super light-weight design. Thanks, David.

[@BaxtersBlades]

Very nice showing! I have 2 of those and was considering 3 others. You are a man after my own heart. Because ive been interested in all of those except id never heard of the brothers in vg10. I may have seen the orange bone version but not sure they are the same. Anyhow that brothers is super sweet even though im not a big carbon fiber fan, I may just have to add that to my collection!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

These are all very strong choices, Tiger. Glad you enjoyed the tag!

[@RandysWSG]

A very nice selection! I've been thinking about getting the hedgehog. Didn't like the blade that was in that copper Apta?

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

The hedgehog is a little pricey but compared to the others, but it's a fine piece. The original blade on the copper was some weird modified spey blade, some people like it, but it wasn't for me. Thanks, Randy.

[@RandysWSG]

@@ThriftyKaniffy I like that SMKW called it a Wharncliffe

[@retrostu1]

Great selection there TK, I do love the QSP Hedgehog, that hollow grind is 👌🏻

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Indeed, a really killer knife. The action is perfect on it too.

[@robertbudnik3318]

😊 Good show Thrifty! I own the CRKT Venandi and I love it! Super lightweight with a snappy blade stops? Super sharp out of the box!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Totally agree, very light. Thanks Robert👍

[@michaelbeams9553]

Very nice selection . Given enough time , these will become " Traditionals ". Great video .👍

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

That's a good point. Time changes everything. Thanks, Michael.

[@JohnMorin289]

Great knives Thrifty! Definitely going to have to pick me up some moderns.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks, John. Sorry to hear about the channel issues. Take care.

Great selections, John! I really enjoyed seeing them. I see where some gaps in my collection need to be filled. Great video!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Glad you liked the take on the tag. Some cool pieces among these. Thanks, RJ.

[@traviswagner3656]

Great video. We have a lot in common with knife DNA.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Travis, I like a good slipjoint, modern or traditional. Thanks for watching.

[@singingtoad]

I like all the ones you showed here today, that copper one is especially nice though! Thanks for sharing and Cheers!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks Toad. The Copper one is a hefty piece. I prefer it now with the blade swapped.

[@inmyopinion_3672]

@@ThriftyKaniffy It's not really a knock. I have some of those. They're great knives. However, they look like they were made by the same company because they were. I just think they need to chance up their designs a bit.
