I spent yesterday getting used to the slide I bought from Shane Speal - The Edge.My Sawzall Box Resonator Guitar tuned open G (GDgbd) and my custom relic finish The Edge John Pearse guitar slide. The slide is meant to replicate the 1920s sound of a pocketknife used to play notes. The rattle and grind is part of the desired sound.

There's was an old player named Roscoe Holcomb (he's passed away now) that played with a knife slide. One of my favorite songs of his was......well of course "Knife Guitar" :-)
Its the rattly sound you go for,oke 100% sucses there ,i notice that as long as you stay on the strings there is no ratle at all only in the liftup and the position change, a differend recording point sometimes gifs a different sound to! great picking ! i think that sawbox is growing on ye!! greeettsszzz A.D.
Thanks Uncle John. I can't part with the guitar. I think I'd rather let go of any of the others on my wall rather than this one.
Yes, this is the slide that is supposed to be like a pocket knife. Shane is selling them at a great price. I won't use it exclusively, but it does have some different sounds and uses compared to any cylinder type slide.

Awesome tunes and guitar Bad Finger!!! :>)
The phone mic is right close to the slide so the rattle is a little less prominent overall, but still more present than a cylinder slide.
really effective and authentic sound coming out of that awesome guitar!! Really enjoyed it.
Sounds great Eric!

The slide is a different animal. It took me a solid 12 hours to get used to it and the same again to feel comfortable with it.

Glad you are keeping that git. Hunh. Interesting slide. Is that the one I thought looked like a cudgel?
Thanks Wes!
