You'll love it, it's my usual EDC, serrated though.

I put maroon Tero-Tuff scales on my Tinker Deluxe and burgundy micarta on my Ranger! Here they are in hand with normal red for ref and in a family pic of my fave Vics... love them both but the way the Terotuff grips is amazing, only ever had it on a David Mary knife.

How are those A Wright & Sons?

The stag and blade are fine for a $59 knife. The pivot needs some use. The spring seems fine, blade is dead center and pull is about a 4-5. This is carbon so should develop a patina. Definitely needs an edge.
Someone asked about A. Wright and Son on guardian of lambsfoot thread. They wanted to know if they are still open. Article said company was not it's former self and quality control has suffered. Wait time is 4 weeks ordering directly from them. I bought this on All About Pocket Knives.
There are other companies making this style blade now. I am having one made in England now.( Michael May ). I did a lambsfoot for sale search.
Hope this helped.

Like Hashishiin Hashishiin said, it really is a solid EDC if you like folders in that size range. As one who isn't a spyderco "fanboy", I still do appreciate a good knife, and as such I actually carry my waved version quite a bit.

Also, as a non-fanboy, I just got this one in on an impulse buy thanks to the recent spyderco thread... Not even 24 hours of ownership and I've already gone and dirtied it up at work.
I'm gonna have to rectify the situation...

Got this one from the exchange as well. Sweet little gentleman's knife. Though I have no business trying to pass myself off as a gentleman 🙃

I got one of these in that same finish a few weeks ago. I mistakenly thought carrying it would make you a gentleman. It doesn’t - I’m still a sick heathen. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it’s a very cool little piece.
 
As I've said in prior "Latest Acquisitions" posts: "When it rains, it pours."

Just purchased and received 2 knives that I've been looking for for YEARS. They are the smaller Kershaw 1029 (Field & Stream) and the larger Kershaw 1031 (Camp & Stream) filet style knives from the Hattori designed "hunter series" first produced in the late 1970's.

I just need one more to complete the collection -- the Kershaw 1032 (Skinner). There actually is one currently available but it's over-priced and not in good enough condition for me to be willing to overpay for it. So, I'll just keep looking for that one.

There are 2 other non-hunter Hattori designed Kershaws that I own. They are the Kershaw 1002 (Special Agent) and the Kershaw 1007 (Trooper) that I've shared in other pictures posted previously

Here is what my current collection of the Hattori designed knives from the Kershaw "hunter series" looks like:

From top to bottom they are the:

Kershaw 1035 (Heavy Field Knife)
Kershaw 1034 (Field Knife)
Kershaw 1031 (Camp & Stream)
Kershaw 1030 (Camp & Field)
Kershaw 1029 (Camp & Stream)
Kershaw 1050 (Field Folder)

These were among the 1st knives that Kershaw sold commercially and I consider them the most attractive knives that Kershaw ever made in the past 45 years (or so) of the company's existence, which is why I have collected them.

Outstanding collection. Good luck on your hunt for the 1032.
 
A Ralph Bone Kit Knife in fair condition. I looked at Ralphs Knives on line but have not handled one. The blade has some oxidation, I would like to get rid of the oxidation, but I don't really want to loose too much of the original grind lines. I am guessing I'll try 0000 Steel Wool and light oil. Thoughts? It has the larger dog bone makers mark I think.
