Howdy folks,

I'm still relatively new to collecting folding knives so there's lots of knives that are new to me even if they've been around forever, or discontinued like the 426.

All I can say is: I wish I would've known about this little handful of badassery sooner!

One of the smoothest opening BMs I've ever handled, yet still locks up like a prison guard.

This thing set off a small flurry of Snody purchases with more in the works.

At first I thought they were all a little too wild, but I guess when the bug bites it bites hard.

Anybody else have some BM/Snody pics to share?

Rev,

That Wharncliff version is a tough one to track down. The SBK version shows up semi-regularly, but the satin, PE version not so much.

I enjoyed your review of the HK 14200--those Snodys are just neat designs, heavy duty as well.

I think I may be turning into a Snody collector of sorts. I like 'em!

Best,

I had one with the wharncliffe and sold it. Also had one with the spearpoint and sold it also. Both knives are excellent and of course I now wish I hadn't sold them. Bm finally put some thick ti liners on these and they were hoss'es!!
 
I have an elusive 425 PE/satin and I think about selling it every so often but I can't bring myself to do it. It is one heck of a knife and very difficult to track down. That 426 looks awesome too!
 
Som,

I'd think twice about selling that 425 if I were you.

Unless of course you were selling it to me, then I think it's a smashing idea!:D

Best,

I'm keeping my eyes peeled for certain. I've started to really appreciate the simplicity of the Wharncliffe blade the last couple years. The review was done by another member, I simply linked to it since it is a really well done review - the most complete I've seen so far.
The knife is very sturdy and smooth when it opened.

@BenLankford :mad: Wanna trade? :confused:
