Slipjoint Collection July 2019

[@richterknives]

This is EXACTLY the video I was hoping you would make!!! You made my night bro!

[@pauljosephbuggle3722]

This is a wonderful collection. Every knife is a stunner.

[@monkeyfaceII]

I have been binge watching your traditional knife videos haha

[@DoggoneJohn]

Had to come back and see the ol collection. You’ve got nothing but straight fire dude 🔥🔥🔥

[@thejuicer9706]

The best traditional knife videos, ever. I never was into traditional knives much, but you make em cool. Glad you’ve made videos again.

[@jeffsmith6441]

I just bought my first slip joint as an adult. I've only been back into knives for about a year now. I got a GEC pocket Carver in red and black micarta. The fit and finish is very well done and I'd like to get some of their other designs.

[@Dmhlcmb]

You and I have very similar taste in pocket knives. More muted, natural colors, mostly single bladed, well used with good patina. I say that and I just bought a red Ben Hogan😂 Awesome collection.

[@hdnut4life2]

Glad to see you back bro!!! Gotta be honest, your Traditional knives 101 crash course video from like 5 years ago got me going full speed back into traditionals again. It gave me some insight and pointers so I didn't come across as a total slipjoint newbie 🤔🤣 I also have an old Hayn' Helper in 01 and love it!! GEC Bullnose is what you were trying to remember.. I didn't see your GEC 85 green briar with the EO notch mod but I fell in love with that knife!! 😍❤ Anyways welcome back and you were definitely missed!!! God bless & ✌

[@FWGlockGuy]

MossbergMule agreed! That was such a great video!

[@FWGlockGuy]

Good morning! (Currently in NC) What a perfect video to watch as I get up and drink my coffee, while the rest of the family is still asleep. My traditional knife collection is very similar. I am a huge 1 layer fan as well. Maybe that should be my next video too. 😊

[@armandcouture4655]

All beautiful knifes brutha!! Wish I had 1 of each. Enjoy

[@Crosswalker.]

What a wonderful collection, i have to admit I'm a little bit jealous 😅 thanks for showing! Greetings from Germany 🙂

[@thoricdavid8174]

I won’t even lie, when I worked in sales I carried a large Chris Reeve sebenza in micharta and it was never a problem. Now that I am a cop though I carry a Socom elite. Love the traditional stuff though! Used to carry them as a secondary a few years ago. Great video brother and glad to see you back!

[@josemariaalipio449]

Saw your leather lanyard video just now and it worked perfectly on my tomahawk. Awesome channel, man. Keep up the great work. 👊🏻

[@paddyspotatopeelers2154]

Nice to see you back, love your collection. Atb paddy 👍☘️😀

[@bananaskin7527]

Long time no see. I'm still buying GEC. Bought two Toothpicks - Tidioute Che Chen Rosewood. Gave one to my Uncle. Now he has two, previously gave him a Geppetto Whittler green jigged bone prototype. He's a wood carver - a "handy" guy. Thought he'd liked a "simple, nice piece of work". Now that he has two, I told him "When you have one, it's a pocket knife. When you have two, it's pocket jewelry". Funny thing, when I gave him the first one, the whittler, he said "I use a mallet." Duh. Anyway, nice to hear you are still enjoying GECs. Take care.

[@richterknives]

Bro PLEASE do the slipjoint maintenance video. This channel got me into slipjoints. You haven’t posted that much lately but this is still my favorite KZbin channel.

[@the_average_fisherman_hawaii]

Glad to see you still carrying the crown lifter and seeing videos again! 🤙🏽

[@jdschulz1]

Welcome back! I blame you and Derrick Bohn(RIP) for my GEC collection. And I still carry the ZT you anno'd for me years ago. Back on my youtube watch list!

[@jasonpye9650]

I have to agree with Mr. RICHTER love traditional knives too awsome coverage of great knives

[@thehighadvisor5731]

Hi Randy. Great to see you making knife videos again. All the best to you and the family, Shane

[@thomasschowalter8475]

I’m glad you’re back to making videos Randy. Hopefully it time and opportunity permits you can keep it up! I love my GEC bull nose and bull buster, both great users!

[@billsventure2468]

Beautiful knife collection. I have a large accumul of lower priced knives. I usually have a colonial Barlow in my pocket. It works for me.

[@SuperPeleke]

Great to see you do a video again! I know you're busy these days, but would love to see more videos in the future. A lot of friends out here in the internet still fans of your content.

[@annmarie9196]

Have you done a slipjoint maintenance video yet? I haven't found it yet but am looking forward to it.

[@kal0pr]

The bullnose bro the bullnose 👌👌👍👍 great vid

[@NewAgeofAwesome]

Can’t wait to watch this when I get home! Traditional knives are my favorites type of knives

[@bdh3949]

Great collection, thanks. Every time I watch this though have to pee a few times...can't figure it out.

[@diceedc5035]

Hey, recently found you channel. I enjoy your talks. Great that you recently put out new content!

[@blitzbbffl]

Always happy when you post a video. Thanks for sharing!

[@nathanstoneley983]

Awesome video!!! Keep it up!! Glad your back

[@VincenzoNero94]

What’s up man! Good to see a upload

[@johnhebert3855]

Thank you for the review. I too have a lot of slip joint pocket knives but can't understand why. I understand all the traditional reasons, but how do I justify these compared to the safety of carrying a lock blade knife? What do you think?

[@mattb406]

Nice Mudman. The GEC BSK is my favorite traditional, so far. The Case Teardrop Jack is a close second.

[@dwainsw4076]

Good video. Very enjoyable if one loves slip joint knives.

[@kasparsberzins5370]

Great collection. 👍

[@dryflyfisher76]

I love watching your slipjoint vids. This one is a little older, have you done a slippie update recently?

[@BLIGHTY1000]

Love the slipjoint vids! Cheers mate

[@racoon611]

Nice collection but where Opinel???! 🤔

[@nico-max]

Salut de France, tes vidéos sont super et pas assez nombreuses surtout l’entretien de tes couteaux.Continue comme ça. A salute

[@hovan1977]

That long Case is the Slimline Trapper. If you want to grab a new GEC anytime soon, get yourself a 44 Gunstock! Still available online and the F&F is top notch...seems like a pattern that you might enjoy.

[@Lumpy_Peter]

I love how those knives are getting used and not being pampered in safe. It Charlie Campagna who commissions TC barlows from GEC.

[@dwainsw4076]

Case is the last of the old time manufacturers still producing knives aren’t they? Among my father and uncles Case, Boker and Kabar were the knives that were carried.

[@deathbyastonishment7930]

Boker still produces nice slipjoints, when was queen founded? Otter Messer is still around along with some Sheffield makers, so definitely not just case

[@stevewelborn8744]

One thing I'd like to ask you. I bought a new GEC no.22 and gave it to my dad and about a month later he gave it back to me and it was rusting. He has carried carbon steel knives his whole life and never had a problem. So I gave him a early 70's cv case and after about a year it has no rust. I quit buying them because of it. Do you have any idea why with the same type of steel the GEC would and the Case not? I even forced a patina it and after a week it was rusted again.

[@SuperSteelSteve]

Probably a matter of blade finish. Does your 22 have a basic satin and Case have a more mirrored finish?

[@stevewelborn8744]

SuperSteel Steve yes

[@SuperSteelSteve]

@@stevewelborn8744 that's what I figured. It's pretty crazy how dramatic the effect finish can have on corrosion resistance. I say that because I had an small experiment last week when I moved. 2 knives...XM-18 s35vn with a "working finish" (bead blast and tumbled) and a GEC 15 1095 that I polished the blade face with a buffing wheel on a dremmel. Both in my sweaty jeans all day... The s35vn XM-18 had rust forming after literally 2 hours.. The GEC 15 had ZERO.... I was floored man.

[@stevewelborn8744]

SuperSteel Steve thank you very much for giving me a answer. That has bothered me for awhile.

[@SuperSteelSteve]

@@stevewelborn8744 no worries 👊👊👊 Glad I could help

[@DarthVirtus]

I've watched this video so many times over the last few years. Have you picked up any new traditionals recently?

[@derekstang7045]

Glad to see you back

[@latetodagame1892]

I don't like slip joints because when push comes to shove the blade can cause an emergency room visit. Why would you risk it?

[@wizardofahhhs759]

Case's CV is a powdered high carbon steel, that's why it's more brittle and has a different "feel" to it.

[@blueeyeswhitedragon9839]

That Tracy LaRock is the pinnacle of slip joint collecting!! A beautiful knife that now has become the quest knife for my pocket. WOW!

[@peterpuleo2904]

Does this represent a small percentage of your total collection ? You have a nice sample here. Thanks !

[@pdorian08]

Tracy Larock is still active, but yes part time. The steel is most likely W2. Love the timber jack.

[@richklangen1833]

Love the classic one ✌🤙🤟👍🍻

[@thoricdavid8174]

Amazing vid, but you def could manage a large sebenza 21 or inkosi into that job!

[@mr.delacruz559]

Beautiful slipjoints!

[@michaelc7627]

Where do you get your gec’s because everywhere I look they seem to be sold out?

[@neglekt_official]

Awesome video brotha. Salute.

[@richterknives]

That yellow case is a slimline trapper

[@barrybueler3356]

Not a slip joint guy but I like the newer slip joint by Benchmade but my favorite is my $50 GEC Bullnose polished green micarta handle great action not to stiff but just the right amount 1095 steel which on a older styled slipjoint is great steel came razor sharp lost 1/8 inch of my thumb to it wasn’t used to the stops on slipjoint and paid in flesh🤡👍🏻✌🏻. I am a licking blade man though around 100 blades and maybe 5 are slipjoint.

[@johnbanco862]

Ur traditonal..i dig it...but my 50 year old shrade old timer is still in my pocket...300.00? no way!

[@NeevesKnives]

🤘👍

[@edchant1447]

What slip do you use for the 72 lockback?

[@fredde90210]

Ah such a great vid. Mr R. 👍🏻🇸🇪🥃🔪

[@popsforgeblacksmithing]

Link to the pen you had in the beginning?

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Yeah Randy lets do this!!!!!!!!!

[@paulhanley5811]

beautiful

[@wmcutlery54]

Add a WOODBOOGER trapper sheath to your collection. Wmcutlery USA

[@mforrest1508]

No viper?

[@MilledSteel]

He’s back

[@FrankBishop]

Wine sales..cool, my brother has been in the same business for like 15 years at least.

[@thomasellison2635]

I got a slip joint in my right knee.

[@jdr226439]

Never clicked on a video faster

[@Dodgecharger1212]

I think they run the bullnose like all the time

[@Mr.Beastforpresident]

And how do you adjust the pivot play side-to-side movement over time on any of these knives?

[@TheWestboom]

Awsome!!

[@bdh3949]

Wait, what's a non-traditional pocket knife? I've never seen a you tube video titled "non-traditional pocket knives." If you type in non-traditional pocket knives on you tube all you get are Traditional pocket knives. Where have you been? lol

[@8dollars276]

Delrin. Not "Derlin"

[@KEEVER6]

Yasss

[@Cameron_OKG]

Its a slimline trapper

[@dizocilpine]

ivory would crack

[@swiggamortis5521]

God bless brotha.

[@luisg6404]

this guy sounds like Jessie Pinkman

[@avalon449]

How can a “high quality knife” not have the steel type stamped on the blade?

[@edwardhoops6197]

. Hmm

[@bomtradym4027]

yeah man case knives look good but man the fit and finish is awful and is always all over the map

[@richardkrause3594]

Case are $50 GEC are $200.
