My new Lone Wolf T1

[TriumphSM]

This is my first good knife. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone. I read just about everything I could in here, including the archives for the last 2 weeks. Narrowed my choices down to a Benchmade 551 Grip, Kershaw Cyclone, and the Lone Wolf T1 the longshot. I hit a local shop today and they didn't have the Cyclone, but did have the T1 and Grip in stock. Price for the T1 was $10 off normal which brought it to within $10 of the Griptilian he had. This'll be my EDC now replacing a Ka-Bar Dozier folding spear point hunter. A good $20 knife, but I wanted something better. So far I'm happy with my purchase.

I've always liked this knife, as well as the T3, and have been meaning to pick up one. It is a particularly nice looking folder. Thanks for the picture, it has reminded me not to forget adding one to the family.

Some of the joy of our adiction is; the research, the hunt, the acquisition, the thrill of sharing and the pride of ownership. May the choice that you've made give you many years of good service. But, you know it is an adiction, and long before this knife has outlived it's usefulness the search will beign again. It never ends, ya gotta love it.

I have a T2.....very nice knife they are not talked about much but they are great knives and light to boot. Excellent choice on the coccobolo I had one then sold it then missed it then bought one hahahaha.

Oh I know what you mean about the addiction. It was a tough decision, and I even started thinking outside the box and almost went and ordered a Queen Mountain Man in 1095 and root beer from Cumberland Knife Works. Eventually I will pick up something from Queen, maybe a small stockman for my other pocket. I did eye a Queen in Birds Eye Maple today behind the glass case where I bought the T1, and the Birds Eye does look better in person than any pic I've seen on the net. But the jigged black cherry line is more my taste.

Cutting tools have always held a fascination for me. I must have about $1500-$2000 in mostly antique woodworking tools. Lots of handplanes by Stanley that date from 1900 to WWII, Witherby chisels, and Disston saws.
