Good morning BF's members,
I have 3 more folders from John Lloyd to list up today. The first is a single blade ,serpentine frame pocket knife with CPM-154 , real nice one. And,two 2 blade folders by John,these are the first two with thinner ss liner dimensions. These 2 folders are real thin,he did a fantastic job,and,the blades of 52100 are ground as thin as old Sheffield blades,if you can appreciate that.

2 blade jacks ,pictured with a two section Vic Sak for a reference. These knives are about 3/8" (6/16") thin!!

I have an interruption in the delivery of the leather padded storage cases that you have come to expect,I'll be heading to the P.O. this morning to see if they are in. I'm not completely out just yet but we'll cross that bridge when we get there

Thanks everyone for everything,-Vince
