Hi,
I finally find the time to share a few lines about Mace's outstanding skill to build a classic Lockback. I got the knife a few weeks ago and imediatly put it in my pocket as edc, took it with me on a little camping trip to belgium. What can I say, it performed very well at every cutting task i had, from opening packages, cutting bread, making improvised tent nails even had to cut through metal-wired-plastic-rope not the slightest sign of failing here. the design is classic, and i fell in love with it when i saw mace personal knife, during dinner when we meet in germany on his trip 2 yrs. ago.
fit and finish is great, i especially love the hammered-finish on pin's and silver arrowhead, the honey color of the jigged bone is a true dream. the blade hold's an edge very well, it has no bladeplay and the spring and lock hold the blade safe either in open or closed position. a nice and functional detail, mace blued the inner parts of the knife, so it won't rust quick, and it definitly makes the difference, while mostly every knife get's rust within no time in my pocket, this one didn't. also a proof of a very good bladefinish
so thank you very very much mace, i'm very happy with the knife and it will have it's place always in my pocket!
a few pic's for you all to enjoy:
