Can't argue with anything you said here. The older I get the more I enjoy my slippies but I'm partial to my strong pull JE Made Lambsfoot, Lanny's Clip & Zulu's
I'd carry any one of those, but the spear point is really the most useful in more situations. This is coming from an old dude who carried a slipjoint in his younger days.
This has been my past couple weeks for sure. Been on a slipjoint kick. I like how you have some modern interpretations to throw in cause that really solves the drawbacks of truly traditional knives.
Put a drop of lube where the backspring rubs on the tang. Open and close it about ten times, then get a q-tip and and clean out that area, there will be dark grime in there. Repeat until the stuff that comes out is relatively clear
I have the same Viper and love it. The blade on mine sits just the tiniest bit proud and I need to always use a slip or it will occasionally snag in the pocket. It’s the only swayback I have that has that issue. I may try to lower it, but don’t want to go too far and get blade rap. Did you have to mess with yours, or did your’s sit lower from the time you bought it?
I’ve done that on one of my GECs. Got a file and took the tiniest bit off the… what’s it called the knock or something? The part of the tang that hits and stops the blade when closing. Just go a little bit at a time and you should be fine
Did quick search and it doesn’t look too bad. Might allow the spring to sit a little less perfectly flush but likely not noticeable. I tend to be shy about doing stuff that can’t be undone - so little bit at a time appears to be the ticket. And saw where folks refer to it as the “kick”. Here I am learning stuff on a Monday……
Dood you are on it! 100% agree as usual and all I can say is your the man! I just love love all your content man and I fukn appreciate it, your refreshing and just a badass blue collar welder like myself and I relate totally, btw the twist wrist bracelet is banger bro …… like you Im trying to stop the bro but it slips out haha
@@doodysdaggers yeah I knew it was welding rod its badass I may copy you and tig me up one also I really dig it if you don’t mind. I never really thought of that altho I did do a ring similar. The copper belt buckle you have is so fukn badass too obviously being a welder I’m into diff kinds of metal but patinated copper or brass is just so nice. Thanks again
Hey Dood, so how do you feel about the lake Champlain Barlow? I know it’s a bit longer but that’s kinda whats drawing me to it. I’m really diggin the look too.

Great collection of slipjoints! Love the variety in the look of each piece
I carry a slip joint for food processing and a locking modern day folder for everything else.

Out of my slips the one that gets carried and used the most is the QSP Hedgehog. Cheers!
Yeah man that’s an amazing knife
Would love the JWK Vampire as a locking blade. Best of both worlds for me.
I would too!
Great video. I have 3 of the 5. I love all of your choices. I love my Nebula Vampire Jack. Jeff🇺🇸
Love the ORJ, but that GEC #47 is so good!!!!
Do you have any tips on maintaining the smooth action on your slips? I’ve had gravely action develop, especially in my serge and somewhat in others.

No surprise on your choice. Jack Wolf are great knives.
Really nice collection! Have you tried any Northwoods?
I haven’t, but I’ve always wanted to

And that slip 7 is fantastic. I wish I had seen and grabbed one of those. Sweet knife.

It’s a great knife. But it’s a little big for my liking
