Hi Folks,
I just got back from the annual Society for Historical Archaeology Conference in Providence, R.I., which has nothing to do with knives, except that while there I discovered a really nifty little cutlery shop in the mall attached to the conference center. Wound up getting a CRKT Ryan Plan B and the Large semi - serrated Crawford/Kasper. Also, found some tough cloth which I just can't seem to find around here. Anyway, does anyone know what steel the Crawford/Kasper is made of, I know the Ryan is AUS 6M and so have given it several good coatings of tough cloth oil. I have wiped down the Crawford blade, but didn't actually have the right size torx wrench to get the scales off and coat the metal portion of the handle. Is this necessary? Also, how strong is the LAWKS system really?, this is my first folder with has one, and although it seems like a good idea, it also looks a little flimsy and prone to unexpected failure. So far they seem like great lil' knives, and I can't wait to actually cut things with them.

P.S. if anyone else was at that conference, please post something, maybe in the Commcenter I would like to hear other people's opinions of it. I thought it was a lot of fun.
