I only have a few so probably only have a mild case of the SHATTS but looking at all these beautiful examples, I feel a worsening case comin' on Slim.

Well Gary, they ain't cornflakes to start with and then you add the shipping... Maybe you could take an extra job?

Jerry, Wasn't saying nothing about the price of the knife,
Postage from USA now ranges from $10 to $32.
When you add that to $120/150 knife it starts to cut into how many
you buy a month.
Don't need another job, pulling my share now.

I apologize for any unintended offense. Speaking mostly from my own financial perspective.

Hi all, Just started to collect S&M's.
Only have three.
Here's my latest, S&M Barlow.
I kinda like this brand.

Gary.

I got one of those 600 made Barlow’s Gary.
I use it when I go hiking or camping.
Very good knife though I was a little disappointed when I received it.
The blade had a slight wobble in it.
Since I planned on using it I fixed it myself instead of returning it to be replaced or repaired.
Other than that I like the knife.
It's the only S&M I own.
It's been holding up very nicely as a rugged user.

Iv'e got this nice S&M rope knife. It's one of 600. It's big and slim and light for its size. (and expensive)
Takes a real good edge and is a great companion.

[johnnierotten]

Hey Joe.....your back!! .....Nice S&M.
Isn't that what they call a "Wildcat Driller" ?

[FRJ]

Actually, Johnnie, that name does ring a bell. I bought it through A.G.Russell, (that was why it was so expensive) and I think that may have been the name of it. I'd forgot about that.
Why a "Wildcat Driller" I don't know. Marketing? Would you call it a rope knife?

[ringergary]

JW. I only got 4.
I wont use mine,it's only for my Barlow collection.
They are a nice knife.
The Barlow is a real workhorse of a knife.

Very nice Driller Joe! Those are sturdy and thin all at the same time, I use to have one then sold it. What was I thinkin?

[johnnierotten]

Why a "Wildcat Driller" I don't know. Marketing? Would you call it a rope knife?

Joe...I'm not for sure why they call them that. ......It looks more like a sleeve board sun fish to me.
When I think of a rope knife....the master blade is more squared off than round.IMO.

She is a good looking knife. ..they make a 3 blade also.

[FRJ]

Johnnie,
I agree with the sleeveboard sunfish discription. Isn't the sunfish/elephant toe also refered to as a rope knife?
Anyway, that's where I was going with that.
A three blade would be OK, but would add to the girth a bit. I'm glad you like it.

Perry, what were you thinkin'? .........Well, we've all been through that........There's more out there, buddy.

[johnnierotten]

Isn't the sunfish/elephant toe also refered to as a rope knife?

Yes...I believe you are right. ...but this Camillus is more of what I would refer to as a "rope knife" .IMO.

[FRJ]

Right, Johnnie. I remember a thread that I think was about rope knives, and remember that style.
I have a knife or two like that.
Thanks Johnnie.
