She: A box came for you today.
He: OK. I'll open it later.
She: It's really heavy. Is it more knives?
He: Dunno. COuld be.
She: Let's see.
He: OK.
She: SIX NEW KNIVES???
He: No, one is a loaner return, the other five are loaners.
She: No way.
He: Way.
She: They are pretty. I like that one with the gold etch.
He: Yeah, that's a nice one.
She: But they are all folders?
He: Just the loaners. My returned knife isn't.
She: Isn't that the chinee knife you cussed about?
He: Yeah.
She: Send him back the chinee and keep the folders.
He: Can't.
She: Why not?
He: Look in the box.
She: What's this?
He: He sent me his right Schrade ball.
She: A Christmas ornament?
He: Yeah.
She how can you tell it is a right one?
He: He only had two, and he showed us the one he has left.
She: Oh.
He: Besides you know I'm not a folder kinda guy.
She: Whatever.

Sigh. He's getting back at me, you know. For all the eBay links I sent him. Like the orange sharpfinger and this gold etch Drop point. I wonder if he'd miss the 25OT?

Maybe you could hang the chinese knife on next years tree.If it lasts that long before it falls apart.Toby
 
Is this a guessing game?

The top knife, 3rd from the top and 4th from the top are LB7's. The 2nd from the top is a Buck 110. The knife on the bottom is a 25OT Folding Hunter.

edit: oops, I see that you just posted what they are.
 
Lets call it sensory overload.. See enough of a good folder or five and you just might think a folder is good! Guess you need to get a commerative LB7DP for your wife now.. After all she said she liked it and in my house thats permission to go..
:o
Larry the instigator
 
She said the same thing about my 140OT that she kept swiping to cut ham and chicken up to fry. We have four now. Does that mean I need FOUR LB7DPs? :eek:

I think you have answered your own question quite well!
:D

Excuse me...pardon me...pardon me, please (shouldering his way up to the box, and peering in)...

El Lobo: Codger, those are all quite nice, if I do say so myself...are you sure that box wasn't meant for "El Rey del Navajas"...and just sent to you by mistake?
Codger: Nope, those are meant for me...I'm really beginning to like folders you know. I'm thinking of only collecting folders from now on.
E/L: (Reaching for the box)...Just let me have a little look see here...
Codger: SMACK!!...Buzz off Scorpion King...NOBODY touches my folding knives. Here have one of these Schrade/D'holder fixed blades...that ought to keep you happy for a while.
Codger: Now, no more groveling...you remember what happened the last time, don't you? Bam!!...lights out!!...end of story.

I need a fix after all that. Hopefully some of the next five Schrade fixed blades will come tomorrow. Where is my Wolverine? I know the Mountain Lions are winging their way here any day now. A three-fer. Gotta love 'em. And the Craftsman Bowie Hunter... oh! Those red spacers, carbon steel and leather! Oh! Whew! I feel better already!

Codger
 
Bill,
Thanks, I was waiting and waiting for you to arrive... You didn't disappoint me one little bit.:cool:

Redshanks... Thats a question I want Codger to answer. A test Im sure he''s up to. ;)

Mountain Lions have wings?

I guess I am just spoiled to the details on Schrades. At least the real production ones. The Buck's pins are domed and really protrude from the handle. It is tactiley ( is that a word for sense of feel?) distracting to me, not a bad thing, it just feels wrong. The Schrade pins are all flush, as are the wood/bolster junctures. The buck has a slight rise from the wood to the brass. Not enough to see, but I feel it. The nick on the buck is sliced into the primary grind line, half into the spine. Visually distracting, but again, not affecting function. This is partially because the Buck has a higher grind line than the Schrade, thinning the spine. Both are comfortable in the hand, aside from the pins as mentioned. Both have good walk and talk, and I wouldn't be ashamed to pull either out in public.

As to the versions, you'll have to ask Larry about that. I was being truthful about them being loaners. They go back after some battoning, rope and nail cutting, flint striking, and pry testing. And reviewing an undisclosed knife yet to arrive.

Lions three they will be,
their guards are down as you will see.
No scales to hide their carbon spines,
no grinder has touched them to alter their lines.
In dens (or bins) they have lain in wait,
to wing their way South to a warmer state.
Born in the '90's and getting older,
They would make one heck of a folder!:eek:

Codger, for gosh sakes, don't forget about testing them as screwdrivers. The LB7's and 110 are probably only good for removing phillips head screws, but the LB7DP should be good for those as well as slotted screws if you use the spine near the tip.

...ya , and the cinder block chop too. You know how important that is.
 
A little (big) birdie just told me to take it easy on the 25OT. I had already decided it was too pristine to take to work with me anyway. What was that test using a knife to suspend yourself from a tree? My son has his stitches out now from his screwdriver test of the Old Hickory, but I doubt he'll want to try that with the LB7s. Cinder blocks? You drive them through with a hammer or what? I do have an old '85 Mercury Grand Marquis that has a stuck door. It is destined for the scrapyard after I pull the motor for my '67 F100, and the stereo for my work truck. Wonder how it would look as a convertable?

One thing about the 25OT, you'll notice the handle is nicely scalloped to fit the contour of your fingers. Unfortunately, when only one blade is open, the other (closed) blade interferes with this feature. You'll find it much more comfortable to hold and use if you have both blades open together. This is especially useful for cutting lunch meats like hard Salami, as long as you like really thick slices.

You got it! :D

If you can't find four LB7DP handy on ebay, you can always do to walmart & buy a Buck 110 (I got one for $15 on close out a couple weeks ago) and send it into Buck to their custom shop and have a BG-42 blade put into it for $35. I have already gotten mine back and talk about sharp........it is beyond hair popping sharp. As the blade approached my arm the hair JUMPED off my arm before the blade even got to them. I guess you would have to call that "HAIR JUMPING SHARP." :D :D :D
I bet if your wife used it on a chicken, the chicken would see the blade coming and jump into the frying pan all cut into nice pieces.

$50 for a knife with a custom blade......a few dollars less than the last new price of a LB7.

I love my Schrades, but I have a few Buck 110s and they are nice, but the BG-42........WOW!
