Thank you, I highly recommend these, though I confess that I THINK these might be made by White River Knives. So, American made either way!!Fantastic!

I thought their folders were made in Italy?Thank you, I highly recommend these, though I confess that I THINK these might be made by White River Knives. So, American made either way!!
Their initial run was, to my understanding. However, all of their fixed blades and standard run Trappers appear to now be made by White River. In fact, WRK offers Smith & Sons models (branded as WRK knives) on their site, in different configurations, so if there's a Smith & Sons knife you want, but don't like the choices on S&S's site, might want to check WRK's site out!I thought their folders were made in Italy?

Smith & Sons concentrates on the "Custom" runs of these models, to my understanding. Upgraded scales, finishes, sheathes, etc.
IMHO - Protech is the best bang for the automatic buck ...

Please update us as it patinas with use.
Thanks! And why would you feel bad about another Arius? I have another mini not in that picture too. Arius used to be my grail until I got one. I liked it so much that I got another, then another, then another and so on. I am really not sure what my grail is anymore and won't ... until I see it.Nice display. Don't feel so bad about "mistakenly" buying a 2nd Arius that I'm still waiting for now.![]()

Make and model, please?
Thanks for the upvote, Quiet! Its made by a guy who is a forum member. I saw the one that waynemanning had, and snapped-one-up for the Gerber. He makes clips for many different models. Thanks, again!I carried mine over the weekend, I need to look at this clip. Very nice.
Yes and yes!Am I rich? Did I win?
