The only two knives a man really needs is a carbon stockman or small trapper in his pocket and a sharpfinger or 110 on his belt.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

That'd make a good combo. Thanks Edwin.

[@pistolpaulie4871]

You got that right!!!! I carry a small trapper along with my old timer USA 🇺🇸 sharpfinger! Every now and then I carry my buck 110! That’s all I’ve ever carry!

[@John..18]

That is a beautiful traditional knife, thank you for showing us this one. 👍

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks, John I appreciate that. I think it's a lovely pattern and I'm glad RR is producing it.

[@John-wo5bp]

Thanks John. Good value.

[@singingtoad]

RR seems to make half decent stuff for very affordable prices. This one you showed here is very pretty. I look forward to being on your show tomorrow, btw. ☺ Thanks for sharing and Cheers!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I look forward to the laughs, see you soon Toad.

[@bigjsknives]

$18-cant beat it for what you’re getting!!! Beautiful bone scales on that with nice fit n finish!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

It's a lot of knife for $18, and carbon blades too.

[@RandysWSG]

They did a really nice job on this series. Still Trying to decide which pattern I want one in. Great video TK!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I think this series is the winner.

[@fibitabit8423]

Thanks for showing.

You bet fibitabit. I appreciate the support. Congrats on your GAW win from Slippy last week.

Buen video, saludos desde Santiago de Chile 🇨🇱

Gracias, KOKE!

[@checkmatekingtwothisiswhit7685]

Not the first time RR has misidentified a knife pattern. Great review, as always. Thanks TK

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

No definitely not. Be sure to tune in to the upcoming Episode 10 of the Slippy & Thrifty show. I'll be talking more about that. Thanks, Check.

[@ryantillotson8877]

Hey thrifty I am new to collecting and yours and slipjoint sawyer are my favorite channels thank you for the informative videos and keep the content coming

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Awesome thank you!, Yantillotson. Glad you are enjoying our content.

[@JoseGonzalez-yx6vm]

Nice color and texture on the scales, good size, thanks for sharing, TK.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

A great knife if you don't mind the larger size. A darn good value for carbon blades and bone.

[@chaddamron3877]

T10 super ez to sharpen - great patina - solid working steel

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Right on, Chad. It checks off some serious boxes.

[@michaelbeams9553]

Very nice , for $18.00 , I would certainly have no complaint . Great review . Peace . Be Free .

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I very much agree, Michael. Bone and carbon blades? Heck yea.

[@retrostu1]

Some lovely colour in that bone. Love the larger pen blade as well. Great review TK, thanks for sharing 😁

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

You betcha Stu. You're so right, the pen blade is awesome.

[@BaxtersBlades]

I agree the action on this series has been very good. My half halk was almost perfect. Just some proud pins and the bolster was getting some tarnish. Great knives. Thanks for the review Thrifty!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks Tiger. Yep these will tarnish with use. A little buffing and you're back to new. Look at the Marbles I show at 9:35 , that one has some lovely patina going from being in a leather slip.

[@deanP.]

I agree more of a large jack knife instead of cattle knife. Nicely constructed. They did a good job on that one. Great knife if you are looking for a large jack knife.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Hard to be wrong calling it a jack knife. Thanks, Dean.

[@doomcrewoutdoors1613]

Nice one! I like the size of it!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

It's a healthy size for a slipjoint. Thanks, Doomcrew.

[@davidkurle5418]

That knife looks fantastic!! Cheers, buddy!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

A good value knife. RR strikes again.

[@mikecurtis2585]

Nice love that pattern! That bone stag looks nice 👍

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

A great knife Mike. Kinda that slightly larger Barlow everyone talks about wanting, but without a swell.

[@SlipjointSawyer]

Top quality review as always TK 🫡, I have this one and it's every bit as good as you say it is

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks Slippy, I'm liking it. A big boy knife.

[@bishop6426]

Hi TK: It’s a very nice knife. Really like cigar frames. The absence of a shield is good so the Cinnamon bone is uninterrupted. And thankfully there’s no BIG R. I have the Marbles versión but mine’s in the bone stag covers. Love that one. The RR would make a nice companion piece.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

I also like the cigar shaped knives. The simple design proves sometimes less is more. Thanks, Bishop.

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Excellent review TK. I have the early Marbles BoneStag with the cool shield. This knife hits on so many cylinders. They did a great job with this one and you did a great job showing it. Now I need to go back and look for the spotting. Early Sheffield Cattle knives could have anywhere from 1 to 4 blades. This two blade version was a very common pattern in the late 19th century. Early on I shared your opinion, often commenting that a Cattle knife was a Stockman with a Punch instead of a spay blade, especially when it shows up on a cigar or equal end frame. But more that one source says the stockman evolved from the early Cattle knives which were large frame knives with large spear or clip blade. Now with that said, I'd love to see this frame used with a Spear master blade and a sheepfoot/punch combo or sheepfoot/spay/punch combo.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks for having a look. It's a really nice value at $18. Hard to get both bone and carbon steel at this price anywhere, particularly in a knife this size. I'm very happy with it. 👍

[@bigdrj2223]

Enjoyed the review. Very nice and can’t beat the price! Love the covers.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks, Dr. J. I really like this knife.

[@pa1adin111]

Very nice knife! Love the covers and that swedged clip blade is beautiful. I have the Marbles Black Stag Bone version and mine has an extremely heavy pull, an 8 or 9 I'd say.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

My Marbles is bit light on the pull. This one has better action. Seems to be fairly random. Thanks, Paladin.

[@traviswagner3656]

I really enjoy the cattleman knife. I have 2xl hands. I love the Barlow pattern but to small for my mitts. This is a great option with same blade set. Thanks for your review

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Yep, this would fit the bill for really large hands. Thanks Travis.

[@skcamerican]

Great series. That one is a little big for my hands, but it looks good.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Thanks, Su. It would be nice if they made a slightly smaller versiom

[@kjgas6945]

It won't set you back much. A great value.

[@davidwhiren817]

Hello young man !!! The Cigar pattern handle , can be known by several names , & that all depends on the blade combination , but for now , lets just deal with the knife you have in hand & some assumptions that you may have made about it !!! This one I would call a premium cattle jack , because of the length of the handle , puts it into the premium sized knife category , some might even want to refer to it as a jumbo cattle jack !!! The cattleman's knife has a blade combination like the stockman's knife & if you say , eliminate the spay blade for the punch / awl blade or you add a 4th blade punch / awl , then it would fall into the category of cattle punch , just like with the stockman's pattern !!! The handle shape by itself , is referred to as a cattle / utility pattern , & this is because of the extreme popularity of the 3 & 4 bladed scout knife , that is known as the scout utility pattern , because of it's blade combination in it's many variants !!! Put your hands on a copy of LGK4 , you wont be sad that you did !!!

[@jelkel25]

Like it, the handle, bolsters and scales remind me of a couple of WW1 British Army Clasp knives I've seen though there was a gazillion makers (maybe including American makers) so some could look very different. Do like RR carbon blades but I'm sticking to buying from a list of knives I've never quite got around to, next is a Case or a Leatherman multitool.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

If you take collecting/buying seriously you have to stay disciplined that's for sure. Just too darn many great knives to have them all. Thanks, JK.

Seems like the way of things. Knife naming conventions can be a tough nut to crack. Thanks for watching, Byron.

Just a bit over the UK limit but who gives a shite were in the US. Thanks for the video. I just started collecting the RRs and am loving em. Damned good quality so far in what I've got. Especially for the price. Gives a couple other companies a run for the money when they're charging slot more. Cough cough ahem Case

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

RR is good value. People scoff at the import thing, but they make a good product for the cost. Thanks, Ricky.

Is anyone in the UK stocking this one? Hennie Haynes don't have them.

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

If you call Heinnie Haynes they can special order it for you. According to my buddy Slippy over in the UK, turnaround is about 9-10 days.

​@ThriftyKaniffy I just discovered that Heinnie Haynes will have these in stock in about 10 days.

Thank god this is not a boring smug Tobias review

Wow okay. Thanks, Steve glad you enjoyed the review.

[@RyanHamley-cl6en]

Could call it a Barlow Eh

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Barlows are bareheaded, have a longer pivot bolster and a handle swell. Similar blade configuration though so I see what you're saying, Thanks, Ryan.
