Elephant Toenail- Jumbo Swellcenter style

[prometheus19799791]

the knife at 3:51 i believe is called bourbon jigging. i may be mistaken on that though.

those platts toenails are something else. i really like the long pull. i have an elephant toenail made by great eastern cutlery and it is one fine knife.

You have an amazing collection. I've only recently become interested in the Sunfish/ET, and am intrigued by the variants. Thanks for sharing this information.

Scott, up to 2 wk ago I had never herd of the Elephant's Toenail knife. Keep this mind, I was working under the idea that I had used all pattern type of pocket knives and could say what each one was designed for. which bring me to my question have you ever cutting anything with one ? I am wondering if you use it as a chopper or a push through or as a slicer ? the hight of the blade should make the blade stiff enough to chop, But I am not sure if the pivot pin would be bigger in one of these.

I love knives with character.

Thanks guys! It's like having a piece of cutlery history right there in my hand.

Senset- yeah, a tactical swellcenter, now that'd be cool!

Thanks Taz. Yeah, some of the toes will command a bit. I like the '70s Case too.

I'll check out your EToe video later today.

Great Video Scott and a very impressive collection of toenails. I have a hand full in my collection but none as old as yours. I have this thing about mint condition which is why most of my toenails are from the 70's tru the 90's. I did see 2 swell centers at a gun show a while back but the fellow wanted an arm and both my legs for both of them , and they we're just in to bad a condition for the price he was asking. The pitting was so deep they were beyond restoration in my opinion.

Thanks jorvik!

[jorvik]

great vid. loved it !!.nice to see some folks collecting older pattern knives, enjoyed your enthusiasm as well. Keep it up

[CutleryNewsJournal]

Thanks! It is my favorite "pocket" knife, as you could probably tell.

The WR Case display works well for them...but if I find anymore I will have to get something else.

I used to "collect" old cutlery displays too. Still have this one and an old Catt display. Need a bigger house, is what I need for all this stuff :)

@CutleryNewsJournal

What kind of knife do you usualy have in a pocket? A Toenail or something like stockman or trapper?
