Interesting @BlackEnd ^^ - I'm digging the 80's version here: https://www.bergblades.com/products/tick-80s

They have a good video of it. Does the fuller work pretty well for finger flicks etc?

USA-made?

That signature fuller on the Reate made Bergs is one of the reasons I like them so much. There is a sweet spot on my alpha that when I hit it just right it flies open like it was assisted.

Thanks buddy, this one is pretty wild, pretty much every surface but the lock face is textured.

I'm on my laptop now and your knife looks totally different! My phone didn't do it justice. I see what you mean about all the texturing. Extremely cool!

A week back ... I picked up a used copper Hinderer XM-18 scale. I watched a youtube video teaching ways to patina copper.

- a light turned on in my cranium to give the patina a try. Super simple process: clean surface; sprinkle sea salt on areas you want different color(s); suspend on a jerri-rigged Reynolds wrap tinfoil bridge over a paper towel saturated with ammonia in a sealed recycled plastic lunchmeat container for 24 hours; rise under a light trickle of water the pat dry with a paper towel; and finally apply shellac to seal the patina.

Still trying to get a feel of whether I like it or not.
