I had one of the original Pual knives when Gerber started to produce them around 83. The reason I bought it was I wanted one hand opening and closing. This was long before liner/frame locks and opening studs or holes. For me at that time is didnt work very well. Can the current line up from Lone Wolf be opened/closed with one hand? How does Lone Wolfs quality stack up against say Benchmade or Spyderco? I am thinking the prankster might be a decent size for daily use. Thanks for your thoughts.

Lone Wolf Paul Knives

I have a Prankster which is near perfect size EDC. It came sharp and has held an edge fine. You can work one it handed with just a couple of minutes practice. Grab the knife at pivot on the body with thumb and index finger and give a slight flip and it will open.This is my second one and both exhibit play side to side and up and down when locked open. It has not gotten any worse with use. I don't like the play but Lone Wolf said it should not effect the knife and met specs for tolerance. I would like to here if anyone else has a problem with play in the lock up. But it works fine as a one handed knife. I had a Gerber Paul but I don't think it had any play.

I have a LW protector w/CF scales on my wish list,but after hearing about this blade play,I'm reconsidering the purchase.IMO no high end knife should have any blade play whatsoever.I may ask Frank at knifeworks to hand pick me one,to be sure there's absolutely no blade play.
