Case Tuxedo, nice handy small folder

Gary,
The Tuxedo is a great looking knife and its size doesn't give You any reason NOT to have it in Your pocket.
( Well, except at the airport ).

Sure looks like Tux's to me! and while I may have a groupy following where it concerns my collection and how quickly it comes and goes, I actually have some folks when they see I posted up something about a new knife, I get the 'Hey remember me when you decide to sell it! ' lol and not so surprisingly, I do end up moving them along, only a select few have made the cut so to speak.

Here's a couple quick shots of the Case Tux,

Closed it's 3.26" long
Main blade 1.98"
Short blade 1.34"
Single back spring

Edited to add, thanks on the compliments, I find it just to be THE nice watch pocket folder and as for my Sinn, well that's a sad long tale, suffice to say, I had to part with the beautiful watch in order to pay some of the bills from the hospital for by busted ankle :( seeing that again plucked my heartstrings for sure! But, it is what it is...

That is a great little knife! I'm a big fan of smaller pocket knives (which seems ironic seeing as I'm the size of your average two story house) and now I have yet another knife on the list for whenever SWMBO lets me off the hook :)

I know them feels, I just busted my ankle last week, had to take six days off work, now I'm back at work and I still ain't 100%!

I'll just stare at the photos longingly for a while :) great knife mate!
 
Thanks guys and wow yab ! that's quite the collection there! I 'think' I can see the one we traded with each other in there but not sure, nice collection!

The one on the far right is the Queen you sent me. I need to take a new picture, I've picked up four or five more Camillus #49s and a couple of others since I shot that one. The tenth one from the right, with the chipped bone cover, is my first pocket knife. I've had that little thing for fifty years now. I get a kick out of having a whole collection that I can carry in my pocket, and you can usually pick them up pretty cheap.
 
Thanks for the open pics Gary and yablanowitz that is a stunning collection!!

I love smaller knives so this one is definitely on my short list.

That is a nice looking knife. I am also a fan of the half stops. What is the point of the half stop anyway?

Bali, I guess that the original theory is the blade closing in two steps, allows more time of getting your fingers out of the way and is often looked for in traditional knives.
It generally adds cost, because of the difficulty in making it work properly than a rounded tang is, and is typically seen in higher end knives.

But for me, it's not a deal breaker if the knife had that or not. I do like it though on my Traditional folders, although the real HARD half stops can be a pain, meaning a real strong back spring will SNAP it into position when you least expect it and that can do some damage :) I showed a friend my GEC 23 once, as he opened it up it snapped quickly and we both saw a little ball of white go flying from the blade, we both thought it was just some lint from inside the knife, but then I looked at his thumb on the side and said "hey, you're leaking!" and then we knew, that little ball of white was a chunk of Jerry ;)

Half stops are handy sometimes, but if they are too strong, they can be somewhat awkward...

I let Jack borrow my Tux today ;)

Thanks sir, I highly recommend this style/pattern, that smaller blade, just amazingly useful especially opening clamshell packaging or any boxes, it's easy to control the depth of the cut and both blades are very sharp!

edited to add, that character Jack is something my daughter just picked up, she's collecting the series of 'dolls' and when I saw that one, I knew I just had to take a photo of him...along with a knife that wouldn't dwarf him too ;) Also took a shot sans knife, for my daughter :)
 
Beautiful knives guys, this is a very aesthetic pattern I think. My Lewis Barnascone has lost one of the blades unfortunately, but I still rather like it :)

 
That Lewis Barnascone looks pretty sweet, too bad about the one blade :(

and yes J, these have quite a nice look and feel to them, I wouldn't mind a stag handled one if it was done right, none of the big fatty stag please :)

Very nice little knives. I'd never had one before, but found this old Imperial at the flea market. I thought about sending it to Glenn to put mammoth covers and solid bolsters on, but I think I'm going to wait and try to find one with a little bit better "base" for modifying, so to speak. I think they are a very classy pattern for dress clothing carry!
