Like my favourite saying “ I might be slow- but dammit I’m rough!”
I certainly wouldn't lighten the pulls. It just wouldn't be the same knife if it didn't have that trademark 'thwack' when you open it.I'm interested to hear what folks think, because I could always ask Wright's to lighten the pull with large future orders. Personally, I'd be reluctant to do that, as I think if a user finds the pull too stiff for them, the knife can be fine-tuned, and the pull strength reduced. However, the reverse isn't true
Thanks, John! I have to agree with you, "It just wouldn't be the same knife if it didn't have that trademark 'thwack' when you open it".
I'm with these guys: please don't lighten the pull!Thanks, John! I have to agree with you, "It just wouldn't be the same knife if it didn't have that trademark 'thwack' when you open it".

can run to London for us and get them from an ancient surgical instrument maker! 
Wow, more beautiful wood. I don't know where they got the lump of ironwood to make the scales for this batch from, but the sure got a good one.
That shell and the knife go well together. Both are striped beauties.
John, don't let him mishandle it like Jacks ironwood.I might take my Lambsfoot into work today to show it to one of my coworkers. I've been bragging about it and he's been wanting to see it. He's a modern one-handed knife guy, but I gifted him a Stockman knife earlier this year and he's been coming around slowly but surely.
Your pancake/stag post pushed me over the edge. My wife was getting ready to go to bed when I said "how do you feel about pancakes right now?" Fifteen miles to the IHOP. Tall stack of buttermilk pecan pancakes and link sausage.
Beautiful grain and chatoyance on that one Kevin!
Thank you Jack.
Nah, he's a knife guy and knows how to handle a knife. But I'll take the rosewood just in case.John, don't let him mishandle it like Jacks ironwood.
Thanks again Jack (

Yes, don't lighten the pulls.
If we get too feeble to worry them open with pinching and nail-nicking, we can get locking hemostats.

Excellent photo my friend John, don't let him mishandle it like Jacks ironwood.
Definitely not, who knows when I'll see that one again, and what it'll look like! 
Check his hands for butter John, and make him crouch down above a pile of feather pillows!

I remeber one Sunday, Barrett @btb01 was having cold pizza, and it gave me a craving I just had to fill! Lovely pic of your AC Dwight Nah, he's a knife guy and knows how to handle a knife. But I'll take the rosewood just in case.
Jack, both the Rosewood and Ironwood have broke in to the point that I can open them and not break a nail(which are brittle...being an old fart). I think what Rachel said is very applicable, especially the part about becoming accustom to the individual knife.Are you finding them OK now Preston? I have always found the pulls on Buck knives a little light. I thought @r8shell made a good point earlier, relating to there being more to the ease of opening than the pull, I have US-made Spearpoint and Pen blades which I struggle with, yet I don't think the springs are any stronger than on my Wright knives. I also have older Sheffield knives, which open relatively easily, but that is because of wear to the tang and spring after much use
Morning folks, enjoying all your posts
That's a nice photo. Dave, looks like it could be a twin to Jack's
Yours is impressive for sure Alan, love it's diagonal orientation.
It is good to introduce others to the wonders of the Lambsfoot...great lighting on that Rosewood, John, really shows the grain!I might take my Lambsfoot into work today to show it to one of my coworkers. I've been bragging about it and he's been wanting to see it. He's a modern one-handed knife guy, but I gifted him a Stockman knife earlier this year and he's been coming around slowly but surely.
Dwight, you've done it again with that photo, great composition, texture, value...all the things that visually stimulate!
Can't go wrong with lambsfoots and stockmans!I might take my Lambsfoot into work today to show it to one of my coworkers. I've been bragging about it and he's been wanting to see it.

Could you imagine... LolYikes!
Thank you, and Rosie is looking well loved. What's the story on those faces?
Right? Two great examples of knives meant to be used!
