Wow I really like that micarta scales swap in the victorinox and I didn't even know those clips you have on the ring existed. I need a few of those.

I liked the Vaquero XL so much, I grabbed the clip-point version.

Another beautiful DMC creation but that rat's nest is reminiscent of what it looked like when I tried to make my own damned lanyard. 
FYI - I know you aren't finished in the picture but that's about as far as I got with mine.

My latest is , and brace yourself , it is a :
I work with a guy who used to describe him self as an "Anarchists" . . . that was before he settled down , raised a kid , graduated from a higher brow University and as he would say "got old".
It seems most every one , but him , at work tends to use those break off the blade , throwaway , box cutters .
I thought about getting one . You know; an addition to my collection .
I can't stand the thought of the newer ones , about all that is available now . . . . in that they have steel guides that the actual edge of the blade runs on and gets dulled by ! ! !
What a racket ! ! !
Sell a knife that is , by definition , disposable AND SELF DULLING ! ! !
remarkable ; just remarkable .
So , I have avoided the dambed things . Bear with me .
Until yesterday . I found one where the edge runs on plastic (as near as I can tell ; haven't disassembled it yet but it is too light to have steel in it other than the super thin blade ).
So , here is where the ANARCHIST comes it :
I will be the only person on the planet who uses one of these things regularly and . . .
never snaps off a section .
I WILL RESHARPEN MY SNAP OFF BLADE CUTTER AND NEVER SNAP OFF A SECTION !

This is cross-posted from the Pictures Thread in the Automatics Sub-forum:
--------------------------------------------------
Just received from ACK . . . a custom DD Fantail automatic made by Rainy Vallotton.
The bolsters are made of Nichols Damascus (not sure about the release button), the liner is anodized in rose gold & the precise file works goes all the way around the handle. Rainy's "signature" is also etched in the liner. The blade steel is 154CM & it came w/a COA that I did not photograph.
I'm a lousy photographer & the pics don't do the knife justice but, in real life, it's gorgeous!
