My son is now 15 and while he has had a couple of modern liner locks he bought with his own money he has never owned a slip joint. This summer when I got my trapper from Gary Crowder Prestin began showing interest in my knives. He had been expecting to get a Case in March when we go to Branson for a long weekend. So needless to say I have been happy about his new liking for traditional folders.
I have always tried to teach him responsibities have consequences or rewards depending on how they are handled. I have made him aware that sometimes the only reward is knowing you have done what is needed, life doesn't always give a pat on the back. As he has gotten older he has earned my trust as well as his mothers. Lately he has not only taken care of the things required of him but gone beyond that. Taking initiative on his own to do more. His mother and I are very proud that he is respectful, caring and is as responsible as a 15 year old can be.
So as a surprise I scoured the GEC offerings on Knives Ship Free. I picked the #72 Cody Scout. I placed the order Friday afternoon and knife arrived in North Little Rock today. I can't say enough about how great the service was. Thanks KSF.
When I opened the tube and unwrapped the knife I was struck by the fact that the knife looks just like the picture advertised. The fit and finish are great. Nice walk and talk with perfect halfstops. The blades are perfectly centered. With a pull I would rate at a 7. Makes me a touch jealous that I didn't get me one.
