Really neat! I may have missed it, but what knife is this? It looks like an upgraded Spyderco Roadie.

I do believe it is the tungsten carbide blade made by Sandrin, or something like that! They are.sold thru the 1911 custom pistol maker that makes the American Joe!!!!! Cabot guns.. Sweet but pricey!!!!! Some cool stuff there!!

I just went over and checked the Lanzo out at the cabot site. It does seem a tad pricey for a 3" slip joint, but what struck me is the blade thickness is listed at .035" which is just a few thousandths over 1/32". Its pointier brother, the Dellatorre, is spec'd the same. @Chefget that sure seems impossibly thin. Do you have the thickness dimension on yours?
 
Found these in the mailbox today:D

The Excalibur is on loan from @Blues Bender since he knew I wanted to check one out. Great lockup, just a touch less side play than the scarab and a smidge more vertical. Nice action, and that "mid-lock" is interesting... even if it misfired, you'd still have 2" of locked stabbiness:cool:

Picked up the R.A.M. here on the exchange, it had been mentioned as having great flipping action (which it does) but more importantly I needed an example of the Hawk Lock;)
 
Ok Friday’s pick ready to ride.
Lynch clip added and it’s a nice piece but had to remove my lanyard. Feels good in hand it’s a quality piece. The MXG feels a little better in hand but not much unless your splitting hairs. The lynch rides a little deeper in the pocket and slides out a little easier do to we’re the clip rides on the textured scale.
Lovem both but I’ll let the lynch ride for a while and I like the black to :thumbsup:

I was surprised by how small the knife is; I haven't loved the congress pattern knives I've owned, most of them were on the clunky little pocket brick side. It's an exaggeration to say the two small blades are dull, incidentally. They'll cut paper but not shave arm hair, the large blade shaved arm hair casually straight from the tube. Also, the small blades are just the right setup for me, straight edged, thick enough not to bend when used the way I carve, but thin enough at the edge to cut like crazy.

I see more of these in my future. :)
I don’t think you can go wrong with this pattern. I enjoy mine immensely !
 
Some of those Craftsman tools are over 40 years old, back when Craftsman was big. I still use them today, so I don't see what your problem is.

Misspelling Chris Reeve's name? What a shame...
Relax, tongue was firmly in cheek...
