SK Blades came up with the Bare-Head 501 ...

...took a good knife and made it better!

Still irritated with myself for messing around and not picking one of these up View attachment 1470981
The 501 is such a good pattern and the SK Blades version is classy

I would not be too surprised if they came back, hopefully next year.

GEC 65 with cobalt blue bone covers.
This is probably my favorite traditional lock back.

It would be perfect if had a hot dog shield.
I like the cloud but I think hot dogs are better.

Ha! I grew up just across the river (the mighty Mississippi) from where that hunk of cast iron was poured. Nice Buck, too.

I don’t have many either, but this 2015 mini copperlock is great. No blade rock or wobble, liner or bolster gaps and sharp right out of the box. Had to have a number in hand to find the right one...

Here’s one of my Dad’s “tool” knives...
Not much for finess he, and worked hard.
I’m reminded every day of who he was when I carry this, especially in the winter time.
