- The Canoe knife pattern is an equal end-style frame with distinctive bolsters at both ends. The name comes from the fact that both bolsters curve up to give the handle the outline of a canoe. The standard version of a Canoe knife comes with a large spear blade and a small pen blade.
The documentary movie is part of the collection: University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology Films. The full-length film can be found here:

The Native Americans were truly an amazing people. I really like how these reviews are more than just your typical knife specifications. You're also giving me just a bit of the Case itch with all these perfectly finished knives you keep reviewing. Thanks for another great video.
I am grateful for your time and talents putting these videos together. Truly a joy to watch and learn from you. Your efforts in putting together these knife videos are unsurpassed.
Thank you for your very kind words!
Thanks for the story. I think it's been 57 years since somebody's read me a story.
You're welcome! 😀
You are an Artist of the highest order. Thank you for these great videos.
@Schmidt54 Good question. I'm not decided yet. Sometimes I think they are too beautiful to be used as EDC knives. But on the other hand, I edc other knives that are more expensive than these Case knives and where I don't care if they look worn or get scratches.
Boy, I love your videos. They are really good! Thanks so much.
I am a big fan of CV that Case uses for some of their knives. I have a small folding hunter in CV and it has only gathered a small amount of rust. Thanks for another wonderful video. Keep up the great work.
Another great video before bed time. Thanks Stefan great job. I actually use Flits metal type polish on my Case 6254CV(full trapper, carbon blade, red bone). I cary this case practically every day :-) Blades are patina-ed and dotted, however I connect with them. If I have to explain it you wouldn't understand. I have one canoe from germany, it has a great nail pull, acrylic pearl, and is beautiful. To the people giving you a hard time about american slip joints-"Why cant we all just get along"
a youtuber before his time made this canoe documentary. lol. i like the canoe pattern. very useful blade sizes and shapes.
Fabulous video! Thanks!!
Thanks for watching!
@Warrosquyoake Thank you so much for your very kind words! I'm glad that you enjoyed my Case reviews.
Stefan, I have seen videos of the making of birch bark canoes and have seen many canoes (maybe a hundred ?) in the Canadian Canoe Museum in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada and they go back much further in history than a few hundred years...maybe thousands of years. The big difference today is that the availability of flawless large pieces of birch bark are almost impossible to find. So a modern (last hundred years or so) canoe will have many patches & repairs to make the birch bark waterproof, whereas the canoe in your video, though obviously made in the 1900's is almost perfect and represents a quality seldom found today...as those great birch forests are no more and the pickings for a "perfect" skin is almost impossible. A true learning experience...thank you.
Hi Stefan. Just wanted to say that thanks to this vid I have just received my first (but hopefully not last) Case Canoe. After your vids got me interested in Case knives I found myself most attracted to this model. I got a Clover Green bone handle with sawcut jigging. As beautiful as they are in your vid they are so much more so in the hand. Wonderful old world style and craftsmanship. I love it!
A wonderfully entertaining video. Thankyou.
awsome review very educational and I just like your stories or the way you present them
You show some great videos and thank you for mentioning that book. I've only seen the movie now I want the book too.
WOW!! another great review and presentation Stefan:) Thanks and I live in Alaska for over 50 years:)
@AussieMark909 I'm glad you like it. Thanks for watching!
(see my other comment) I plan on buying a couple more Trappers in different colors of bone, several Texas Toothpicks, and of course, a few Canoes to round out my collection. It's been proven that folding pocket knives are extremely difficult to master the art of production for fit, and functionality. But us fanciers already know about this fine art! And no 2 are alike. Folks if you want to give that special gift, a Case knife is truly a very personal item w/sentimental value to last a lifetime.
this is absolutely amazing.
I love your knife reviews & the entries of the old books, literature & motion pictures are really a nice touch too. "Getting back to our roots and simpler times". I'm 51 & had my first standard sized Case Trapper at 10 years old. My father had taught me very well on honing techniques with a Case Washita oil stone. I got so good at it, he had ME sharpen not only his personal Case, but all the knives in the house. My beloved knife was stolen years ago. I finally bought a smooth Chestnut SS Trapper
Happy 60th !
If you are interested in more info on Algonquin canoe building, Ray Mears did an whole show on building one with an Algonquin native on his show "bushcraft". I believe it was the first episode of the second season, its probably available on one of the torrent sites. I found it pretty interesting.
Thanks for another great video.
Amazing video as always, and as carstendrossel said they are very much like lectures but i personally love lectures as long as the speaker is good (which you are and I'd go as far as to say your great) and the topic is interesting (which it is). So please keep them coming :)
Very Fine Review.
The Canoe and Butterbean are great patterns.
I have a Butterbean w/ Toasted stag and a 5 blade Gun Boat Cigar band w/ Black Lip Pearl
Excellent video, sir!
Thanks for the wonderful videos, Stefan. You inspired me to research GEC and Case knives. This week I purchased a large Stockman, and a Seahorse Whittler in buffalo horn for myself, and a Copperlock for my son. Christmas will bring a Case knife for both my son and father (he's my son's best buddy :). I am thrilled with the purchases and very proud of the craftsmanship that goes into each of these knives because they were made in the USA, as was I! Thanks again for the information, education and inspiration!
+soylent green You're more than welcome!
American pride ! Such a wonderful thing. What better way to pass this pride on to the next generation than a quality knife, good job.
I absolutely loved this review. In fact, I've loved all of your Case reviews. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I've learned more about the rich history of my country's traditional knife styles from you than I have on my own, and I've owned knives for 28 of my 34 years on earth as an American. I hope you do many more reviews of traditional knife patterns. (May I suggest the Copperhead, a model which is not in current production.) And I agree with you taste in handle color and wish I had a red one.
I have never read that book, but i loved it as a movie, so sad.
@phili676 I'm glad you like my little Case series.
Thank you very much for sharing your memories and thoughts! I'm glad you enjoy my videos.
@alfwok Wow! Thank you very much for your very kind words!
Once again, very great review. I would love the see a Congress review!
@AussieMark909 That's great! Thanks for letting me know. I'm glad you enjoy your Case Canoe.
@grizzlyglock1 Thank you for your very kind words!
I love case's chrome vanadium. all of my case knives are in CV and it can take a nice patina.
As you alluded to when reading the passage about "light canoes", those northern canoes are notable less for their seaworthiness than for their weight. In a region infested with beavers, the ability to make a canoe that is easily portaged is more important than other considerations. In modern times, beavers are proliferating because of radical reductions in the incidence of fur-trapping, so light canoes are again becoming popular.
I am deeply in awe how the native Americans made a canoe out of tree bark.
After I saw this video I had to buy this knife
@Sano0021230 Thank you for your kind words!
wow, another great video, thank you very much Stefan! I love the red color of the Canoe. Do you use those knives as EDC items, or are they "just" collectibles?
Another great vid! Love the way, the etched Native on the knife blade looks like he is riding the Canoe knife. Also like that you identified the Algonquins rather than just the generic "native".
Yet the canoe on the blade is a long nose canoe as build by the ojibway tribe of the great lakes area.
@mrmonkeyman50 I got this information from the description that comes with the documentary film.
@readyinthehills Thank you!
Great video! I love these videos very informative and I love the history lessons! Has anyone on youtube ever say you sound like Skallagrim? (another youtuber)Anyways you do :p. Once again great video!
@wcropp1 Thanks for watching!
Amber Bone is my default handle for Case Knives so of course after seeing this video I had to order the Canoe with the Indian etched blade before woke culture forces Case to remove it I’m sure Case doesn’t desire to denigrate the Native American in any way with it but rather to honor them as you did with your fine video I too own another Canoe the Transition model in Olive Green Bone with XX bolsters I truly enjoy your work
Thank you for your very kind words!
@stschmalhaus yes, I can see that issue. The knives really look so nice, I doubt I would edc them on a regular basis. On the other hand, they have a classic and non-tactical look to them, I think carrying them would be a nice change.
I just watched this video again, and it's still the finest knife review on TH-cam. What do your fans need to do to get you to review some more Case knives? (GEC reviews are also desired.) I think the doctor's knife, the Tony Bose-inspired cotton sampler, and the melon tester might suit your review style the best. (I'm also interested in seeing your take on the recently re-released copperlock and the Case-Knives-specific Russlock.)
@freedoomed Have you ever done a video on your Case knives?
@pelahale Oh wow. too much honor! But thank you very much. Actually, there's no artistry in making these videos. I just gather information from different sources, and then I try to present them in an entertaining way.
this made me decide to purchase an amber bone CV Case canoe, along with a chestnut bone CV peanut. Now I mention the peanut, maybe something for you to make a video about?
I love your reviews, they are so professionally done and they really got me into traditional knives, American as wel as European. I just ordered an Anker messer made by Otter, it will be delivered coming tuesday. Do you own one?
Guus de Jong Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy my videos. Yes, I own an Anker knife.
Can't wait to put the anker messer in my pocket, I also enjoy carrying my brass mercator knife. Come Wednesday I'll get my wages and then I have to give in to the collector in me and purchase the aforementioned Case knives. I'll let you know when I get them if you're interested.
@heynewgirl Thank you!
@stschmalhaus not yet. i've been planning one on a nice single blade wharncliffe i have but I haven't filmed anything yet.
I'd love to watch all of those reviews. Here's hoping the exchange rate improves or you find a wealthy Case-loving benefactor in the near future :-)
@ristin59 Thank you!
thank you for these wonderful videos, I'm a fan. I'm also very fond of Case knifes (I live with in 100 miles of Bradford PA and have been to their museum several times ;) ) so I found your Case knife videos even more interesting.
One question though, other than length, what would you say is the difference between the Case Canoe and Butterbean knifes? I own a Canoe but haven't seen the Butterbean in person (guess I'll have to check it out next time we're in Bradford). I saw a picture of a Butterbean knife and thought it was a Canoe, so to me they are identical.
@edgedweapon88 Thank you, Keelen!
@Warrosquyoake Thank you! - At the moment the EUR to USD exchange rate keeps me from ordering knives in the US. - I would love to review a Case Russlock G-10 and compare it to a modern "tactical" knife. The Case Hobo would offer the opportunity to revisit the American hobo culture (Jack Kerouac, etc.). Also, a GEC Northfield Whaler would be a great knife for a review with a side trip to Herman Melville's "Moby Dick". - I guess I need to find a knife sponsor in the US. LOL
@wolfbrother2501 I'm sure I'm not the only one here on YT who makes you want to buy more knives. ;-)
@carstendrossel Whatever you call them, I hope they are entertaining! ;-)
the shield is different on limited one versus the regular one:)
@troy5690 Michael Mann, the director of the movie, had never read Cooper's novel, either. It's really true! - There are some fundamental differences between the novel and the movie. Honestly, you should read the book. ;-)
@tendollarword Yes, I know Mark Twain's entertaining essay on Cooper. Nonetheless, I like both writers.
At least half of the joy of owning knives is to care for them, and sharpening. A little effort and time is all one needs. It's an endangered skill. Stainless might be considered a compromise unless around saltwater. Carbon steel is not for the throw away society types. Knives should be more than about just jewelry. Just an opinion.
I agree with you 100% on the youth book, thats like an adriged audio book. It's just wrong, give me the hole book please the way the author intended it. Have you ever heard of the Easton Press they make beautiful leather bound books. Not necessarily cheap books but beautiful books none the less. A book shelf of Easton Press books would be the envy of eveyone. Oh you know if you keep up videos like this, your going to give the History Channel a run for their money.
@murphi14 We will see... ;-)
@Syx699 Thanks for the hint!
@zeltarstormrun Yes, it's a shame. Because of these messed-up youth books, a lot of people think of Cooper, Melville, Twain, Verne and others as of adventure authors or even children's authors..
@curlyje1983 Für die paar Deutschen, die sich hier auf TH-cam für meine Themen interessieren, lohnt der Aufwand leider nicht.
Danke für diese Informationen , in deutsch wäre schöner . ;)
@stschmalhaus Macht nix :)
