Lipic advertising knife
Posted: Fri Dec 04, 2020 2:42 pm
I picked up one of those little Lipic jackknives that were apparently made by Camillus. It has white/pearl scales (with a few small cracks around the pins) and no evidence of any printing on it. It may have had something printed on it that wore off, as the knife is in well-used condition.
Anyway, it has wonderful walk and talk and really is an ideal EDC. It has been in my pocket since I sharpened it up. It has a main spear blade and a cap lifter/screwdriver secondary blade. I think this is a pretty handy combination. I am attracted to small pen knives, but they seem too small in actual use. This Lipic jack is just large enough to be useful. I don't recall seeing a modern knife this size with just those two implements. I know GEC made a larger one and I guess Victorinox has one that I'm not sure of the size (Bantam). I prefer the size and layout of the Lipic.
Please excuse the poor quality iPod photo...
What a great little user knife! I think I'll do some work on the blades to make it a little more presentable (although it does look better in person than in the photo). I'll also be on the lookout for a nicer example.
