I've been looking for a long time for a small gentlemen's folder that had a BG42 blade. They are hard to find. I was very surprised to read about this lockback that was offered in either AU-8 or BG-42. I ordered the BG-42 sent in my $45.00 and received my new folder. I must admit I was very surprised, fit and finish was very good, blade centering was good, the lock was crisp and solid. My only concern was I thought that the thickness of the blade prevented a really good edge to be given to a great blade steel. I proceeded to reprofile the edge geometry on my 2x72 at extremely low speed and once thinned, the blade meets all my expectations. Thanks Linville!--Dan:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Is this the same Linville involved in the Ti vs aluminum issue? Sold assembled knife kits as his own?

Edit: Looks like it is, thanks for the note but I'll never buy anything from that guy! I'd doubt you got BG-42 as well.
