A couple searches came up empty, so let's start one--- i recently purchased a Higonokami Tomita San Higo Naifu Ran Ba Hand Forged Hammertone Shiro 2 White Paper Steel, The Samla from Wesn, and an Andersson&Copra Urban Husky Folder with brass handles. Feel free to tell about, and post pictures of your favorites.

Old age ain't for the faint of heart.

Someone told me that many years ago and it was the truth. Age is the greatest thief known to man, and he sneaks in and veeeeery slowly steals what make you, what is you. I guess the fact that we live our lives in stages helps to understand the changes in taste we go though. Like as kids we love soda pop. Then as young men we love our beer. Then we learn to appreciate the taste of a smooth whiskey.

I guess now I'm in the red giant stage of life. My taste in some things has changed, but something I always liked have increased in importance. Like...

+1.

That said, my Sardinian resolza is a beautifully made knife that I wish I could get sorted out.

Agree the peasant is a good one.
My full size peasant

I also have one with a wood handle.
IMHO the full size is a touch large for front pocket carry. I need to make a belt sheath for mine.

These are pretty good pocketable ones.

The Peasant above, and the 4th down in this photo have a carbon steel blade. All the others are Stain Less.
The Old Bear is Buck 110 size. Like the Opinel, the use of the blade lock is optional. (I rarely use the lock.)

I keep my #10 Higonkami (blue paper #2 blade) clipped to my rollator.

All my friction folders are users. (as are all my slipjoints, and handfull of solo blade OHO "Modern" knives.) No Safe/Shelf Royalty here.
(fur 1 thing I ain't gotta safe. 🙄)
