Hope this is what you had in mind John.

It works well.

Nice folder. I've been fortunate to see several of Lightfoot's folder models now. This is a new one I think. Similar to another I just had here only a bit smaller as I recall. They all have one thing in common. Uncommon smoothness. This one opens like butter is in the pivot or something.

Steve;
You're a mind reader.Just what I was after.Agree with you on the smoothness of this kinfe opening and closing. However - when i first got it ( bought second or third or ? hand) - had the strangest problem. Everthing in my right pants pocket got greasy - including the outside of the pocket? Didn't remember having a double cheesburger experience that day that went wrong? Finally figured out that my new Lightfoot was oozing lubricant. Diss-assembled knife and it was simply jammed full of some sort of whitish-yellow grease. Without seeing it - Greg's best guess was someone had "improved" it ( yes - this is sarcasm) by putting some sort of occasionaly popular chain lube in there. Now - given that a lot had run out of it already - there was still conservativly enogh lube in there to take care of 8 folding knives.removed it all and substituted a very small amount of CRK grease - there certainly is nothing at all wrong with this Suppressor -why someone packed it full of grease is ???? Buying used is always a adventure - in this case a very pleasant one.
Thanks
