I'd just like to know so that if it's a bizarre choice (anything but serpentine or bollocks) I can start getting used to the (bad) idea. 🤣

I used to feel a little gypped if a knife had no half stops. Now, I just kinda take each one on it's own merits. Some half-stops are not executed correctly for me - too jarring. Conversely, some cam tangs aren't executed to my liking either - too mushy. Clearly, there are perfectly splendid examples of both. I think at this point, when I see an equal ender, I expect cam tangs.

Wowsers, Charlie! That spear-bladed sweetie (with a punch? 😮) - second from the top in the last pic - is speaking my language! What a beauty!! 😍 Got any details off-hand?

Wow! At last, so THIS is what the Bone will be and the SHIELD on the forthcoming Forum Knife 😍 I'll have to start scraping up funds ;) 🤣

WHY would anybody want stinking HS on a Stockman!!!!????:eek::rolleyes: I like the smooth open and close of a Cam or as Sade says 'Smooth Operator' :thumbsup:

 
The only place I like half stops is on the screwdriver blades of my Swiss Army knives. Well I guess it wouldn't have to be just SAKs. Half stops would be appropriate on just about any screwdriver blade. Doesn't really matter who made the knife. I don't like them on cutting blades though.

O.B.
 
Will it be a good spinner? My KaBar 1100 spins like a top. This Tuna Valley does a decent job too. The KaBar is the best fidget spinner ever, and it can cut my sandwich, or peel an apple!!

Finally - someone's asking the real questions! LOL! I think we need a dedicated thread to knives that spin well.

The Buck 301 2 blade in my pocket does pretty descent, but has a slight side-to-side wobble, especially at high speed.
