These guys pretty much got trounced in the comments on this video – if you pay attention – they really are not at a high level of comprehension about “traditional” knives and the different patterns and models – I have been around knives ( and firearms ) all my life – and knives – all the different patterns and models are really amazing – I have managed to get just above the level of knowing enough to be dangerous – LOL!
Traditional Pocket Knives Part 2 – Here you get an inkling of “differences” with traditional pocket knives – they were built for a given task a lot of times – or even a singular function within a task – look at a meat packing plant – most people think about it as chop up the cow or piggy ( MMMM – Bacon . . . ) and send them out in a box – for a great number of the cutting operations that are manually done – there are specific patterns and styles of knives for each cut – knives and the technology behind them are in their own way as fascinating as firearms development . . .
If you really want to step through the looking glass – just search for knife forums and start reading . . .

I had one of these years ago – about 30 years or more actually – the little knife decided to play hide and seek – it was a real good hiding place because I never found it – LOL – life went on and I had forgotten about it completely when I happened on this one in a pawn shop – 6 or 8 bucks later and I was a happy camper . . .
The Schrade Old Timer Land Shark – Stewart Taylor designed this pattern – based on a Japanese knife design . . .
tgfrg
Real easy to use design – the cuts in the frame and scales allow you to “pinch” the blade with your thumb and index finger to open – no need to use the nail nick . . .
Real good feel in the hand – the saw cut composition scales give a good purchase – Bruce – we are looking at two knives here . . .
Just a real good looker from any angle – the brass bolsters add a nice touch . . . Now hold on just a minute Bruce – there are two knives . . .
And a look at the Land Shark stamping on the blade . . .
Bruce – Enough is Enough! – What’s going on with the two knives?? – Don’t give me any line about double vision – Stop already! – Of course there are two knives – both made by Schrade – both current production – both named Land Shark . . .
Schrade has a “classic” Old Timer pattern and Schrade has a “modern” Schrade pattern . . .
The “modern” Land Shark is a really neat design – it is spring assisted opening – just pull your index finger across the little stud to get the blade off of the closed stop and the spring triggers and out comes the blade – a good positive liner lock – feels good – and looks good – my only ding on the knife is I personally don’t like AUS8 steel – and don’t let that deter you from picking one up – that’s just me – if I have a choice it won’t be AUS8 blade steel – that aside the “modern” Land Shark is a good looker – isn’t it?
They are both cool Bruce – Which one should I buy?? – I can only give you folks the same advice I give people who can’t decide which handgun to buy – buy them both – YOU have MY permission – LMAO!
Taylor Brands LLC – go ahead and click it – it will surprise you to see where you land – how Stewart Taylor got there is quite a story in and of itself – depending on time constraints I may address the history of it in another post – it’s quite an interesting thing . . .
The Pakka Wood scales feel as good as they look . . .
Thumb stud open or flip it – your choice . . .
Comes with a pretty deep pocket clip – deep referencing how far down in the pocket the knife rides – the clip is reversible or you can take it off – your choice . . .
The liner lock does a good job and the cut in the frame is a natural spot for your thumb to come across and disengage the lock . . .
Not the biggest kid on the block at about 7 1/2 inches . . .
Tips the scale at about 3.8 ounces and the Pakka Wood scales and satin finish on the blade just makes it look good – and of course I make it look better – LOL!
Magnum by Boker . . . Nice stiletto at a great price . . .
The thumb stud to flipper motion takes a little practice – if I were to carry this I would have to think about the pocket clip – might remove it – might not remove it – no real plans on carrying it – it’s just too pretty to to scritch it up with daily carry. Want one of your own? <<< CLICK HERE >> – it’s just that simple – Boker is some real nice stuff at good prices – just saying . . .

Sure it’s a snubby – as far as I am concerned anything under 4″ is a snubby – anything 4″ or over is a service or duty revolver – What do you folks think??
These guys always seem to have a good time doing these videos . . .
Good stuff – carried one daily for 4 months – other than a little paint rubbing off – it put up with my abuse like a champ – in fact I will get the review on it together this week . . .
