I know it's been talked about in the past but as far as I can see (at least pic-wise)I'm the only one who keeps it in rotation. It's possible that I'm just showing off my limited collection but I really enjoy this one. Only thing off with mine is that the swedge is pretty frikkin uneven, besides that it's great. So is it in anyone's regular rotation besides myself?
 
I really like mine I tried posting a picture and can't get anything to work even photobucket. The steel holds an edge well and it's comfortable for extended use. Derrick at knives ship free is a true gentleman also.
Respectfully, Chance.
 
I like mine a lot and carry it pretty often. Haven't gotten pictures of it posted as often as I carry it.
 
It's been on my radar for a while, but I am not crazy about the cover options. I would love it if Derrick released a few in bone.
 
I love mine. Beautiful knife. In fact it is to pretty for me to use. I will at some point but the blade is just perfect and it is one of those things I know will never look the same once I cut with it. I should probably just order another.
 
I've looked at them numerous times, and I particularly like the looks of the ebony version. I think I'd like it better in 1095 though...
 
It's a very nice knife. It looks great in Ebony and ATS34 is a great steel. It's so easy in the pocket, you forget it's there. It's a rather small knife so it's perfect for sensitive situations.
 
Funny, I was carrying mine all weekend! I'll dig out a pic soon, mine's the older version with the Scagel style hole. I bought it off the exchange used, and the previous owner had it convexed to a super sharp edge.

I hear you. Sorry for the flat picture, it's the best I have currently...

Mine was my first "higher end" knife and the bug bit hard. Love the ebony but been eyeing the cocobolo for a good while. Thought the boys knife would kick it out of my pocket but that's not happening. This hobby makes working for a nonprofit(low end on the pay scale) very difficult.
 
Here is some love! I've been out on a secret project all day, but I'll post some pics of mine tomorrow. I carry mine a lot. I carried it straight for almost two years. :)
 
Here is the one I carried for 2 years. I also have a jigged bone one, but I can't lay my hands on it right now.

Derrick, that pic taken after the two years of carry? I use one of the ksf pocket slips and, after a solid year of carry its still in great condition. Main reason I get those is because I tend to put cigarette butts in my pockets instead of litter and my slippies were always full of tobacco. The slips have greatly reduced that problem. (I know, bad habit yadda yadda)

yep...lots of pocket time. with and without a slip. Also a bit of buffer time just to keep it presentable. :)
 
That ebony looks nice!
Here's a sub-par pic of mine.

I think those came out in february or so of 2011, so I can't be right how long I carried that. What do I know? It was more like a year. Sheesh, I need a better accountant.
 
In my book (where Ebony should be jet black), Northwoods makes some of the nicest Ebony handled knives. Here's another one (just for the Ebony), one of my favorite back-ups...It often kicks out some bigger and more sophisticated ones. It's a jewel. Very small indeed but all you need for everyday urban tasks.
