  • Thanks Jeff. I'll check out the eBay sale and thanks for your kudos on the video...my first real attempt. They should get better as I go.

  • yeppyea

    Glad you liked it.

    That knife I show is a WR Case & Sons Cutlery Co. of Bradford, PA. It is a Case XX Greenbone. One sold about a week ago on ebay...search "sunfish" or "elephant toenail" if you ever want to find any there.

  • Super cool man!

  • you should check out the gec waler its basicly a toenail

  • 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.

  • Very nice info!

  • Thanks SFS11. Yes, it is a knife. Good solid feel too. Great camping or outdoor knife.

  • now i'm not a big knife collector but i do like knives. i happened to be flipping through a knife book and this one caught my eye and instantly loved it and thought this here is a knife. like Crocodille Dundee -thats not a knife, This Is A Knife-

  • Hey bud. Good video. Very informative. Does anyone still make a decent production elephant toenail? Certainly looks like a hard use knife.

  • Great video Scott.

  • Another great VID!! Keep them coming Scott!!

  • ive always been more into survival/combat knives like swamp rat and busse but i really like this design thanks for the introduction
