Junkyard Dog, the smaller one

[Gary W. Graley]

Just a quick review of this knife, I owned it a while back and gave it as a gift to
a friend at work, he is always there to help others and wanted to give him something
unexpected. Turned out to be just the right thing as he didn't have any kind of knife
and he just loves this one a lot.

It has the Sandvik 14C28N blade that takes a very good edge.

I did modify the blade down to a clip point for a more pointier tip,

The one thing about this knife, and I don't have this problem on the larger Junkyard Dog 2
is that it collects lint in the groove and prevents the blade from locking up, so you
have to remove the scale and blade and clean out the lint, so when I get the knife
back from my friend to touch up the edge, I always do that service for him, but thought
that there may be some that may not know to do this and if you don't it can be
a dangerous thing not having the blade able to lock when opened.

Everytime I sharpen it for him, he's afraid of it and doesn't use it for a while,
worried he'll lose a finger or two

Not to get too OT, but what setup did you use to get that picture of the locking mechanism???? That is one heck of a shot.

Thanks Doc, that was just a quickly captured shot using my Canon Elph 300HS point and shoot camera.

When I take macro's I use the camera's 2 second timer to help prevent any added motion from pressing
the shutter, so I brace myself after I press the shutter button and the images come out a bit sharper for
that.

The camera is one I carry all the time, very slim model, easy to put into your pocket so you'll have it
all the time. The one thing I wish it had was full manual operation, but for the most part, it does good enough.
