So has anybody got a regular use for a spey point blade? I get the others, and I've nothing against it per se, but I wonder if anyone has an application for it that really rocks?

(As I understand it they were originally for animal castration, but that isn't something I do much )

The spey blade is what I use for light prying. They're usually pretty stout with a somewhat thick point, compared to the main blade.

While it's not really good to pry with most knives, if I have to (on a slip joint f that style) that's the blade I use. That's one of the nice things about those style slipjoints though, if you do happen to break one blade you've got two more.

Spey blades are good for field dressing game because of the curving tip and lack of an extreme point. Many folks used to carry a Trapper pattern in the past for hunting so they had a good dressing/skinning blade as well as a clip point.

If I was you, with a threat like that, I'd watch for something she does wrong, and do it FIRST

Keep a pocket tape recorder handy & get it on tape. The authorities might just have a few words with her about it as long as you're within the law.

No, I'm going to wait. Until she opens her trap. Then I have her fired. Wonder what she would think of certain other little details. Like my bare-handed skills are, shall we say, "fair."


I had one of the local goblins try his luck with late last week. Discovered that trying to mug me comes under BCM (Bad Career Move). Wonder if he's stopped running yet?

Anyway, back to UK EDC, I have just acquired a Case XX Sodbuster sliplock. Very nice.

I have a few Schrade and CASE slip joint knives as well as a variety of SAK. These are simply excellent pocket knives. In a couple of months, I will acquire a collection of 12 CASE Cranberry knives from the Canoe size up to an Elephant Toe. Can't wait, but I will probably keep most of them for show and not EDC.

I always wanted to get a set of Case knives in a frame. Maybe you can get a display of some sort for the set.

Currently I am in the throws of a slipjoint addiction; in the past 2 months I've bought 5 Case knives plus 2 red Vic Farmers.

I have a display case for the Cranberries.
