20 years, and still going strong

[Mannlicher]

Looking at a thread about 'my first Benchmade', made me think of my own first. Bought this on NIB back in 1995. If I recall, it is a 'Panther' model. Japanese steel. I carried it daily for probably 10 years, then put it back in the safe, to try other knives.
Over the past three weeks, I have been carrying it again. It still takes, and retains, a sharp edge, deploys easily, and carries well. Even after all these years, it's still a darn near perfect knife.

Love it. Really like the old user threads. Thanks for sharing, and use it well for many more years.

That looks like a tradesman's utility knife...and definitely not tactical. I haven't seen one of those in years, thanks for the pic!

Nice little knife. I had one years ago but I set it down and it walked!
