Large locking traditional folder.

I am just taking closer look at the Smiths and Son's knives and man - the Billet Trapper looks really nice (look at that distal tapper, must be a graet slicer) even if a bit pricey. The Mudbug is apparently made by GEC. Sold out at the moment, but I am in no hurry anyhow. If the quality is there, than $80 sounds more than just reasonable.

Guys, you are just awesome! Thanks a lot - that is a load of info and more options I could even wish.

That size comparison is very helpful.

That Smith and Son's Mudbug does look really interesting - I have to check it out

No hijack at all. I did not want to ask too many favors at once. But of course, should that no be too much of a hassle, than a few spine shots would be nice :)

I always get a nice warm feeling when I see such a nice patina on a knife :)

Thanks! Sitflyer did most of the heavy lifting on that one!! :thumbup:

Thickness of some bone/stag 23's and a Buck 110.

Karesuendo Singi - lockback, Sandvik 12c27, HRC 58, blade length is a bit smaller than you would like at 3.15". Very comfortable in hand.

 
I'm not real big on lockblade knives. I figure if I need something harder working than a slipjoint, I should get a fixed blade. Still, if I were to opt for a locking blade knife, I'd look at a Buck 110, GEC 23, or GEC 42.
 
I have a liner lock, 3-3/8" blade with wood covers in CPMS90V. I think it ws $145. I use it to skin pigs, deer, and elk, and it is the best I've had. I don't think they're on the sponsor's list, PM me if you want info.

Hi, I am curios, but it seems that I can not PM you (probably has to do with your user status), but maybe you can PM me or shoot me an email - should be possible via this forum. thanks.

thanks for the photos - the Buck is obviously thicker at the spine than the rest.

I did not know that Karesuando makes folding knife - looks rather interesting. The blade is supposed to be 2.8mm thick. The handle looks life it offers a very good grip. To the pool it goes :)
 
I have one specific question. I have come across a rather interesting knife from Remington - the Bullet Damascus 2013. It looks really nice and is available in Germany, but I have no idea what kind of damascus they use, how it is hardened, etc. I contacted directly Remington, but the person on the other side (email to their customer service) knew apparently little about knives and after few attempts they recommended me to contact different company. OK. So - before I send email to the 'other company' I though I would first ask here :) - so do you know more details about this particular knife?
 
Buck 110, Schrade Uncle Henry LB7, Schrade Old Timer 7OT.
The Buck is made in Idaho, USA, while current production Schrade is made in China, if that matters to you.
I have the Buck and both USA and China made Schrade lockbacks. If anything, the China Schrades have just as good, if not better fit and finish, as the older USA Schrades, along with zero blade play when open or closed, something I cannot say about the USA made knives.
 
forgot to mention some of the enzo folders; don't know much about'em but they come in several different steels,sizes,and locking or non-locking variations as well as flat or scandi-zero ground. the pk-70's look great-sleek,sexy,and both modern and vintage at the same time. (if that actually makes any damned sense). especially the one with the bolster.
