For me, if I want a non pointy blade, i like a sheepfoot or coping blade. As for the spay blade, on a few occasions I've take a file and rounded the tip off so it lacks that itty-bitty point. The value of the knife disappears but then I have an actual non-pointy blade.
My Stockmans are taking a rest. It's Canoes and Trappers for a while I think. But I DO "need" a Swayback Gent in Pocket Worn Red.....for using.......and one for collecting. LOL!
Maybe they kept the pattern cause you are trapped into buyin one if you want a commemorative knife, like the Case Presidential Dollar ones - of which I have none, cause I been buyin the Silver Eagle Canoes.
Once upon a time I felt the same way, but then I started to carry a Case Mini Trapper back around 1980 for a while and suddenly I started to appreciate the long spey blade! So for me, I like it when I want a blade that isn't so "pointy" for some jobs. So I'm one of the ones that still appreciates the good old Trapper.
Hahaha. I'm with you on the Canoes and Beans, Craig. But, Trappers shoulda died off with the trapping industry; just ain't my cup of tea. Mind you, I have some cause everbody commemorates somthin with a dang Trapper. PA Game Commission issued a series of 5 Mini-Trappers (one each year), one for each of PAs game birds, and the NRA issued at least one. Plus, the Remington 25 year Anniversary Bullet knife was a big trapper.
If I remember right, there were five (?) patterns used for the Green Ivy.
What a unique looking knife. Really nice.
