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.

Thanks jorvik!

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 :)

Hey Scott - GEC / Tidioute finally did it. I just picked up one of their Jumbo Swellcenter renditions. Probably the most exact reproduction I've ever seen. The only good thing different is they open a lot easier than thier vintage ancestors. Some of those old ones you needed a pair of pliers to open. I have the pic posted on iknifecollector and I'll be posting a video review soon.

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.

@CutleryNewsJournal

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

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!
