I like the G-10 handles, but yourcornerstore doesn't seem to carry them and neither onestopknifeshop. Where do you guys order your Case knives?

On the other hand, anyone own a RussLock? Do you like it? opinions etc? Do you have other models you enjoy? I would like one that is an easy one-hand opener.

I order my Case's from Shepherd Hills Cutlery. If you click on the "HANDLE" tab you'll get a listing of each handle type.

My favorite patterns are Stockman's, both for functionality & sentimental reasons.

I don't care for the Russlock at all. It's a neat design, but that blade prong is just waiting to impale you, depending on how you're sitting & moving around in a chair. I love the one-handed opening function, but the blade extension being as long as it is, is a real turn-off for me. Remember, this is just my opinion; others here will have a different perspective, I'm sure.

Knivesplus.com usually has a pretty good selection. I've ordered from him a couple of times and bought a bunch from his brick and mortar store when I'm in Amarillo. They're good folks.

I think the Russlock should come with a belt pouch. It would seem a bit foolish for a knife that small, but the opening lever makes it distinctly pocket un-friendly. Apart from that, I kind of like it.
 
I bought a Russlock as a present for my Dad and he hated it because of the blade extension.

I generally like traditional materials on my traditional knives, but the G-10 Case knives are nice. I have a pair of Large Trappers in orange and black G-10 and they do look nice. One thing, if you are new to Case knives be aware that they sometimes do limited runs of special handle material on their knives. A few months ago the G-10 Case knives seemed to be everywhere, but they seem to be drying up now. If you want one, you had best act quickly. ;)

Another :thumbup: for Shepherd Hills Cuttlery. I've bought a couple knives from them. Good service and decent prices and you can search their site by pattern or handle material which makes it very easy to find things.

Another suggestion would be to check eBay. Doing a quick search for "Case Knife G-10" turns up almost two dozen hits of various patterns in black, orange and even pink G-10! I know some people really knock the 'Bay, but if you are careful who you buy from and check feedback, you can usually be confident. I've purchased a number of knives from several eBay vendors with never any problems.
 
New Graham has a nice selection of Case knives.
 
ooo lot's of RussLock dislike goin' on here, haha.
Any other gentleman's one-hand-opening folders you guys recommend?
