marcinek - very nice. I've been tempted to pick up a Northwoods. How tight are the springs?

That is a sweet one marcinek, Northwoods just seems to get better and better. Thats a nice choice to pickup, how are you liking it?? I have two Northwoods and feel the urge for one or two more..

Thanks everybody, I'm not as expert as many of you, but to me, on both my Northwoods, the walk and talk is excellent (the blades dont slam shut like a bear trap but snap solidly and confidently). One blade on one of my Northwoods to difficult to open, but not a nail breaker.

Northwoods has a large stash of old sambar they cut, which is used by Queen to assemble the knives. I know a Queen D2 issue is initial sharpness (or dullness) but mine have been sharp (maybe not scary sharp) out of the box.

As far as I'm concerned, they are really nice knives, solidly built, and reasonably priced (especially for D2 and beautiful stag). I have the stag ones to stare at (I may get some jigged bone users someday), but I think the stag ones would make excellent users.

I think if one were in the Northwoods in Wisconsin or Michigan, maybe fishing for walleye, Northern pike, or muskie, I cant see how you could do better or prettier.
 
Marcinek you are a bad influence on my billfold. Look what you made me do..:)

Here is a Northwoods Stag Swing Guard in D2 and a Northwoods Elephant Ivory Scale Hunter in D2.

Don't blame me sunburst! Our buddy keeps hanging those Northwoods in front of us and we keep buying 'em. (I've got at least two more coming over the next couple months). There are knives made by other's I'd really like to buy (I started a Schatt fixation a while back) but these Northwoods are irresistable.

Needless to say, the stag is beautiful as usual. But that ivory! Wow!
