I had s very similar (or same) one, forget if the magnifier was included in that one.
It was my 18 years old gift, as well as the award to the exam of my high-school to university, my father gave.
I can clearly remember that day, my dad and I went to the market, happiness, excited, my dad was strong, healthy, young, we rode bicycle on the path the sun shined on, we even didn't ride in straight line but in curve, I took the knife with me to my university which is about 2000 kms away from my home, it is the first time I went away from home. On the train, my dad was strong enough to lifted the super heave luggage onto the rack.

The knife got heavy used during those years, and then got lost, my dad is getting elder, recovered from cerebral infarction but won't be as strong as before, hair is getting silver.
jump out...

Excuse me I post this reply not related to knife and sorry if this post made you feel strange, I just suddenly drench and so much miss my dad and this knife, as well as the times passed by.

Thank you for this picture 315 315

It took a little time to pick out a carry today as I made a sort of general survey of what I have, which is too many damn knives for sure. Anyway, I traded the metallic sleekness of the last several days for utilitarian chunkiness and went with one of my four Wilkins Griptilians, choosing the older, discontinued hollow-ground 550 in 154CM, a grind and steel that I like quite well. As the scales are milled from G11, I figured I'd look into that material a little as I really didn't know the difference between that and G10. I found some old threads to read here which in turn led me to some manufacturer and wholesaler sites.

Both materials are glass laminated epoxy resin, bonded under pressure and heat into a solid form and are considered thermoset as they can not be re-softened. G10/FR4 (G for grade/FR for fire resistant) is a little stronger; G11 maintains greater strength under higher temperature conditions. Both materials sometimes go under the trade name Garolite. G10 in its natural state is that Jade color we're familiar with as knife scales; G11seems to be more yellow-green to amber. Both have a certain translucence in their natural states.

Kevin advertised these scales as G11 Coyote, but given what I've discovered they're clearly just natural as they indeed can variously appear yellow, greenish, or amber under different lighting conditions. Their untextured edges have a curiously squeaky smoothness which I also like quite well along with their odd coloration.

This knife has a real mish-mash of metals and their finishes with prominent grind lines on its SS blade; a satin SS AXIS lock button, liners and clip; a Parkerized steel pivot and adjacent liner screws; brass anodized Ti clip and body screws threaded into blackened receivers; and a handsomely muted gold hard-coated aluminum butt-spacer with integral lanyard attachment. Kind of a lot going on here that I greatly enjoy.
