Well today has been a good package day and the USPO hasn't arrived yet...lol. Today's packages included two knives, a little Case Peanut, yellow with CV blades and a custom damascus jack with horn scales. I bought the Peanut after being overwhelmed with propaganda here in the forum...lol. I bowed down to the pressure and now my Barehead Trapper has someone to keep him company...
The other knife that arrived is a nice handmade Jack Knife with some really nice horn scales. The blade has a very positive half stop and more snap than you would think from the ease of opening. No nail nick but there is plenty of blade to pinch open. Nice file work on the back as well. It arrived with a belt pouch but is just the right size for carry in my jeans pocket with a closed size of 4 inches. The blade is a handy 3 5/8 inches. The curved handle is very comfortable in the hand, especially when held with my index finger on top of the blade for controlled cutting. The damascus pattern is wonderful looking with the blade made with high carbon steel 1075 and low carbon steel 4340...overall I am very happy with it especially for under $40.00.
