    Thanks for the information. I could categorize a lot of knives with my understanding, but your video really helped me understand the terminology better.

      I think it's used generally now, like Jack's knife. But in antiquity, it was a much more specific term. Thanks for watching 👀 🙂

    I can tell you exactly what a clasp knife is............. it's my favorite style of a knife I love these things for whatever reason. I collect them and have a few dozen or so my favorite is a SMKW from 1978 with a Indian scene on the blade made in Japan and its near mint I love that knife! 😊❤😊

    This is a very helpful discussion because there are several cities in the USA with ordinances banning "clasp knives with a blade length greater than xx inches ". It would be clearer if those ordinances just said folding knives instead of clasp knives.

    I guess a Clasp knife is any knife with a blade that folds into the handle. I think of a Case Clasp Knife as a more modern example used today. That makes the history of knives more interesting if you study it.👍

      Yeah, I think that's where the name came from. A blade that folds into the handle. It wasn't applied to knives smaller than four inches. Somethings we'll never know. Thanks for your support, brother 🙏

    Sweet looking knives. Interesting history. I have a couple of trucks like yours only one had U.S. Xpress on it and the other is in Pittsburgh Steelers colors with the Steelers emblem on it. I used to drive for Victory Xpress and then it got bought out by U.S. Xpress.

    Man, that Tarry Levigne. You'd think, living next to France, that it would be easy to get hold of one, but whenever I've tried, they've either been junkers or have gone for top dollar. One day...
    Looking at the etymology of clasp-knife, it seems to reach its peak of usage in common language around the 1840s, then went into a slow decline all the way to around 2000, upon which its usage takes off again. The site I was looking at did say there was a degree of unreliability here, but I wondered if Case or someone began pushing the term again. Just guessing.

      Big knives were traditionally for hunting and hard work. In the 90s, you started getting these large, non-hunting style knives (tactical knives). So I think reviewers and commentors started calling them clasp knives

    As I have begun looking for a Clasp Knife for my collection I had the thought that the folding hunters were actually part of the pattern
    Thanks for an interesting discussion So would you include the Griptillian in with Clasp Knives?

    • @rasputinscastle
      @rasputinscastle  5 месяцев назад +1

      It's not a traditional clasp knife. But I think many people would call it one. I think a Bulldog folder would be an ideal description. Bernard Levine classified the Case 65 pattern as a clasp knife.
