Thanks John. The bolsters are what GEC and some others have started calling "Washington Bolsters". I too like them quite a bit. I have a Boker English Jack that sports those bolsters but the fit & finish of the Boker doesn't come near that of the S&M or GEC.

My dad gave me my first pocket knife in 1961, a Schrade Walden 233 jack knife. Ever since I started collecting, that pattern has been special to me so here are some Schrade / Schrade Walden 233's, 33OT's and 2331 jacks

In the display picture, the center knife in each row is a peanut. The 1st and 5th knife in the top row are a Schrade Walden and a Schrade in matching Sambar Stag...The 2nd and 4th are a Schrade Walden and a Schrade in matching brown peachseed jigged bone.

Here is a group shot of my re-handled jacks.

Here is my newest "favorite" slip joint. A 1994, 4 1/4" closed, Buck #314 Trapper, made by Buck in their factory, (not a Camillus-made knife like so many of the vintage 300 Series). I love the beautiful hollow ground blades on this one, and it's of much higher quality than current Buck-made knives in my opinion. I've been carrying this one in a belt sheath daily, what a great piece of US industrial history. Unlike it's CC-made cousins, a recipient of the famous Buck heat treating method; lovin' this one....a lot!

Here is a slipjoint for ya, (I think, it doesn't even have a spring, but I think it still qualifies as a "slipjoint"). I couldn't decide which thread to post this in, but this one seemed appropriate so here goes.This thread needed a bump anyway.

Not especially fancy, not especially special in most accepted ways actually, but most definitely traditional. I have been wanting one of the European wood handle knives, and most of us would think Opinel, however I found something similar but "different". MAM Flimam 2046 Sportive, 3 7/8" closed w/ SS Inox blade. I have handled Opinels before and found the rounded handles to be somewhat bulky in the pocket, so the flat-sided handle on these MAM knives attracted my attention. Made in Portugal since 1870, this simple inexpensive knife is really not so bad. It has a liner lock as opposed to the twist lock of Opinel, and the finger grooved handle is made of beech. The liner lock is opposite of others I have seen as it requires a push to the right instead of to the left to release the blade, but that isn't an issue with me. Lightweight, the knife is hardly noticeable in the pocket, and it fits well in the hand.

So, here it is. Like I said, nothing fancy, but a good little knife to carry around without the worry of damage you would have with a more expensive knife. Worth the $10 I spent, not bad, not bad at all. (Edit: I should mention that this knife came out of the box scary sharp, something many more expensive knives can't always say).
