Now this is easily one of the nicest folders that I have ever seen. Wonderful lines and a great blade shape. Superb!

nifrand,
That one is one of the nicest I have seen. Tell ya what folks they may be old, but they are a benchmark for fine folders. I use mine as a basis for comparison to folders I consider.

Great pickup, it is a bummer that you are replacing them instead of adding to the ones you own.
