Damn I love that knife
 
Wohoo! Sunny Saturdays!


I think my girl knows about my affinity for all things blue, she got me this watch yesterday, "just cause!"

I want a Thorburn so bad! I'm just waiting for the right one.
Yours is absolutely gorgeous!

I can't decide between a Front-Flipper or an L51.

Thanks for the compliment! :)

I've owned both - I think a lot of it comes down to what size knife you prefer…the L51 is a pretty substantial piece in terms of overall size (3.7 inch blade is typical). Thorburn's front-flippers are typically smaller, both in blade-length (more like 3 inches or a bit over) and fit in the hand. Initially the front-flipper mechanism seems strange, but it quickly grows on you and I actually prefer it (it gives the knife a "sleeker" look). Hope you're able to find one that suits you - I've never regretted buying a Thorburn :) John Arnold (another South African) makes excellent front-flippers as well - pretty darn close, if not equal to, a Thorburn in smoothness. His aesthetic sense is superb as well.
