The canoe was always my favorite out of this series. I like the green covers, and that horseshoe shield is cool! Thanks for the look at this one, my friend!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

That's great. Glad I could present a favorite David.

[@lwilson95990]

My favorite traditional pattern glad I have this one too !

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

That's cool. Glad we have a another Canoe lover. Thanks Larry.

[@BenchmadeBro]

This is one of my favorites. I have a liking for the flashy and stylish.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Cool. Glad you like it. Thanks BB.

[@Hammockrider]

Thanks for the great review. I'm taking on of these with me to Vegas, ;)

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Good luck. Hope you win!

[@gadgetgus]

I have the same canoe, which I think was my 2nd/3rd knife I bought from HH nearly two ago, which I still have not reviewed! Cool video buddy, Atb Gus 👍

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Oh cool. You should, would like to see it.

[@rhino5419]

Hi. Love the green on that. Canoes are one of my favourites. All the best.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I've got some more to review. They are among my favorite patterns, Rhino.

[@jeroenvoss6231]

It sure is a unique canoe and that makes me want to have it.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

That it is Jeroen. It's why I got it.

[@JollyPeanut]

I like those, I'm not a blade etch fan but it just looks right on that one, a nice fun little knife ...I should get one from that series while I still can .Great review Thanks TK👍

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

That was my thinking as well. Much appreciated JP.

[@mikecurtis2585]

Very nice great looking knife! Nice green!!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

It's a nice shade. Thank you Mike.

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

I love that one I have it!!!! It’s a great piece I got mine a long time ago I try to get all the canoes and copperheads that’s why I’m wondering why there not making and new pieces!!!! I’m waiting for the reserve Barlow stay well

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Tuff Stag canoe and copperhead? Wasp canoe and copperhead? No likey?

[@americanknivesenthusiast]

Beautiful little knife👍 A great hello from France🇫🇷 Your videos are always well made and very interesting signed ZITO

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Bonjour Zito. Thanks for watching.

[@bignicobignico1944]

really Nice colored handelscales and like the Irish theme. have to wait till these series are available over here in the Netherlands.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

They've been out since 2009 I think so..... Thanks Big Nico 2x.

[@paulselfe8139]

Hello from London - great reviews, I always check your opinion before I buy. Nice knife but I noticed a crack at the hilt of the small blade. I had a Cinnamon Barlow with a crack in the same place, also seen it on another RR. Could be a manufacturing process problem.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Shame that, must have missed seeing it. Thanks, Paul.

[@SugarMapleForge]

That's pretty cool! Thanks for sharing!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks for watching SMF.

[@Checkmate1954]

That’s a cool series. I have a bunch of canoes, love them. Excellent review. Thanks TK

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks Check, very much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed the vid.

[@steveg.1502]

Nice Canoe. The green looks real nice. Busy knife, but it works on that one.👍

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

It's a bit gaudy, but it has it's appeal. Thanks Steve

[@bruceswearingen7718]

I usually don't care for busy bolters..but this is a nice overall themed knife 🗡

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Yes, I agree, not usually my thing either, but this is a nice deviation from the norm.

[@kennymcelheney8470]

Thanks for sharing, pray you're doing well.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Doing great. Hope you are too Kenny.

[@dionpage7948]

Such a killer little blade!! My RR Armor Hide 6bladed stockman has a blade with the horseshoe tang stamp on it. Killer vid knife bro!!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks Dion. That spearpoint is well shaped, I agree.

[@jelkel25]

Really liked the colour of the scales when I saw this on Heinnies and the main blade shape is nice. I could live without blade etching altogether but with those bolster's it sort of works. A good little find.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I looked at it for quite a long while, and finally pulled the trigger. I don't regret it, a very unique piece. Thank you Richard.

[@stuartgross162]

Great bolsters on the knife!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Yes, they are pretty cool, unique.

[@theprestriedge4657]

A pocket knife and a good luck charm.....Nice.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Right? I'll let you know when I find the gold. I might be able to buy a few GEC's then. Problem is, I'll always be looking over my shoulder for short angry Irish guys.

[@theprestriedge4657]

@@ThriftyKaniffy Sure would be nice....That GEC bayou trapper sure is a beautiful thing I like the ace model.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

@@theprestriedge4657 Yea the Ace Trapper. I saw that being showed off somewhere. A thing of beauty.

[@MittenStateEDC]

Great review and nice looking knife

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks Brian, welcome to the channel.

[@alpine1600s]

The gap on the back is for spring relief. The RR moose pattern also has a small gap. 👍

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Ok, thanks Alpine. Perfect then.

[@FreedomFrog333]

Love me a rough rider. Let's see it!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks!

[@skcamerican]

I’ve been meaning to get the canoe or the whittler from this series because those bolsters are just so cool. The blade etch and shield I can live with, but the bolsters rock. Somebody at Smoky said the bolsters were inspired by an old knife in the Nat. Knife Museum when it was housed at SMKW. I’d sure like to see that old knife. According to the list at allaboutpocketknives, the series of 8 patterns is from 2009, reissued as a set in 2013. Nice knife, TK!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Wondering if the knife that inspired had 3 leaf clovers or 4. Hmmm. Thanks Su.

[@skcamerican]

@@ThriftyKaniffy I think Brian Wilhoite was the designer of the series. I wonder if he has photos he would share. I like the three clovers on the large toothpick bolster.

[@kniceslice780]

440, died bone with inlaid shield worked bolsters, laser etched blade, for how much? Awesome little knife! Meant to be carried once a year while drinking green beer!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

...and hunting leprechauns. Thanks KS.

[@FreedomFrog333]

Looks awesome!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks FFG. I liked your buddies sword, pretty cool.

[@LegionTacticoolCutlery]

As always nice job on the review!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Nice of you to say LTC. Thanks for watching.

[@gadgetgus]

Hi John, tell me your still at the same address buddy, as just before Xmas? This morning I've sent a long awaited classic to you my friend, finally! Atb Gus 👍

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Much appreciated Gus. Same address. Thanks buddy!

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

I think this Barlow is going to be a good piece

[@timwilliams8343]

It's @ SMKW Now!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I bought one, just haven't reviewed it yet.

Meanwhile Strike Rich wins the Kentucky derby. Entered Friday. Came up from 18th out of 20! 80 to one.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

That's a pretty remarkable win.

[@felinebline7154]

Very attractive. 18.95 amazon prime. Free ship. Nice knife. Like it.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Those bolsters, eh? Thanks Rick.

[@felinebline7154]

@@ThriftyKaniffy for me just a tad too much. Sans shamrocks I'd pick it up.

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

You don’t buy the reserve line do you??

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I do actually.

[@tikofthetoka5650]

How do RR hold up to use? Do the blades stay solid or get loose?

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Not as rugged as some, but they hold their own pretty well. Also depends on the pattern. RR are backed for life though, so there's that going for them.

[@94twentytwo76]

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Cheers!

[@kwilin19]

I think it might bring more luck than a rabbit’s foot, especially if you need to cut something!

The rabbit wasn't so lucky was he? 😄

I love Canoe knives, scales look great, i would buy it but i don't like this superstitious motives on it 😬

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Always thought it funny to put a horseshoe above a doorway. One lucky SOB someday is going to have it fall on his head.

[@BenchmadeBro]

First

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Winner!

[@jdnotariano]

I like the horseshoe shield and canoes 🛶 and I could use some good luck 🍀👍

Canoes are a nice pattern. Glad you like it Pietro.
