Now, I have pretty much stopped collecting, but every once in a while something just pops up that I have to have. I've been wanting to find a nice dress knife to carry with slacks, but I hadn't found one until today. Maybe eventually I'll luck into a GEC Conductor, but this little gem will work for now. Maybe as a base for modding by Glenn? It has great walk and talk, although the fit and finish leaves a bit to be desired. Is it silly to dress this up, akin to putting lipstick on a pig?
Then, I found this at a local pawn shop. Schrade LB5, $10. It looks as if it has been chewed by a carbide toothed beaver, and I have to drop the tip just a hair, but it locks up solid and without blade play. I think I might have unknowingly found a grail knife. Why did no one tell me about these knives?! Now, to find a mint/almost mint version! The search begins! I love this little thing. Like a small tank. It's going to be a good knife when I get it straightened out. Excuse the pictures. Hard to take decent pictures in an ambulance.
