On a somewhat random note, it took a ton of trial and error to get the Cowbell just right. Hundreds of sketches, cardboard, hardboard, steel, repition and time. Just a simple little knife but there was so much taken into consideration. I haven't found a detail that I could improve without compromising an existing detail. I've tried upscaling it into a longer blade but it's like a Cowbell just wants to be a Cowbell, which is a good thing.

Hey John - you're absolutely right. Every once in a while you find a design that just clicks. I'm not trying to stroke your ego or anything, but the Cowbell is a home run. I'm not shy about being a life-long Buck fan, but there are only two non-Bucks on top of my dresser in my daily carry/use rotation, and the Cowbell is one of them. The other is made by my friend who started Jackal Ridge Knives. I tried several pocket/EDC fixed blades including the Buck 107 Scout, Buck 538 Open Season Small Game knife, the LT Wright Frontier First, and the LT Wright Frontier Valley. The Cowbell beat them all. Something about that design just clicks.

Thanks for posting that, I love hearing that Cowbells are getting used! My Cowbell gets a lot of use daily. Having a model lineup has never been my plan but I think that one needed to happen and I'm glad it did!

I agree. It is very easy to leave in the pocket for weeks without changing it out of rotation. I love the Cowbell.

What a great day!!! I found an old friend. I bought this knife as a gift to myself summer 1999. Never paid that much for a knife before. I carried it pretty much every day at work until I retired in 2021. I went on vacation came home and couldn't find it. My brain told me I left it in hotel....I called them and they didn't have it. I was sad. Fast forward today. The wife was tossing stuff out of a closet I used to use for work and came walking out holding this. It was hiding in there all this time. I duf through there a hundred times and never found it. She doesn't quit understand but I know you all will....but that might be as happy as Ive been since my Granddaughter was born 4 years ago.
