Lets talk GEC!

You mean instead of drilling out the pins? Or in addition to doing that?

Drilling out the pins is certainly one method. But the method Im more familiar with is using a razor blade and splitting the knife down the middle. At least thats what I used to separate the 48 I tried it on.

I deleted a blade on a stockman once while prying with it... snapped that blade right off.

I'm leaning towards those pictures hinting at a smaller Viper with a cap lifter.

I would definitely be in for at least one of those.

PM to be sent shortly! you've got my curiosity.

 

[EngrSorenson]

heads up, everyone- they've updated the production schedule!
the #33's are on there now...

 

[hornetguy]

It appears it is going to be Antique Autumn jigged bone, and stag.

That's the redneck, down and dirty method.... but it works. Might not be the neatest, in terms of fit and finish... but, form follows function, right?

 

[JohnDF]

Lol... Right you are.

What do folks like about the easy open?

I abhor them. They do absolutely nothing for me. EO notches ruin the lines of otherwise good looking knives. Admittedly I might be an outlier. I like my slipjoints with a strong pull, and I can pinch the majority of my knives open, at least for the main blade. That includes tough knives like a Wright's small lambsfoot.

 

[EngrSorenson]

kamagong there's something glorious about a wicker basket full of beautiful traditional knives chaotically piled up. It's like art. It speaks to my soul.

 

[rpstrimple]

Will probably try and grab a stag 33 with some character. Small covers can be tough though.

I'm with you on this one.

They're knives. They're pretty tough. A few superficial scratches and minor dings don't hurt anything. I'm no collector though.

 

[Jiki]

What about a cardboard box?

"basket 'o knives"

 

[EngrSorenson]

They're knives.

You say that like the thrill is gone...
It's a handsome assortment you have there, nicks, dings and scratches considered. Please, don't say "thank you for the compliment", because you're welcome!

What about a cardboard box?

That's a very handsome assortment, too, Jiki... there's just something about boxes though that haunts me. All those times I've seen neglected, surely once beautiful and useful pocket knives rusted shut inside cardboard boxes at tag sales and flee-markets . I just can't shake it... I'd naturally guess with your talent for carving that perhaps you'd consider making some sort of holder for your knives. Looks like you've invested enough in them! beautiful collection.

The KISS principle taken to the max

 

[Norcaldude]

My desk right now. I am also not a 'collector'.

I've got that last "S" covered.
