Nice Buck Fort!

Here's a 303 I like to carry.

The Zieg · Mar 23, 2018

Ebony, happily purchased from member

JTB_5 . Needs some fiddling to increase its security and I'm stitching up a sheath this weekend to keep it closed in the pocket. With a few passes on a ceramic stick it's plenty sharp and a fun and handsome folder that scratches my Francophile itch.

Alright! Glad you like it, and I hope it gets more pocket time with you than it was getting for me.

It will. I have it apart now and it's clear how well assembled and substantial it is. It's quite nice and a few passes on the ricasso with a file should help. A ball detent would have been a nice touch, but it's best thought of as a slipjoint with a liner lock.

Or even a friction folder with a liner lock! I filed the ricasso down as much as I felt confident without causing damage or letting the blade get down to the spine. Post some pics when you've finished your modifications!

You're right, friction folder is what I meant to type. I often confuse the two in speaking. There also seems to be just enough space between the backspacer and the edge to allow the blade to drop a bit and prevent the tip from being exposed when closed. I like the slight upswept shape of the Le Thiers design, so I don't want to drop the point any more. The pivot is also adjustable once the scales are off, so I'll be snugging it up a bit once I reassemble it. Fun!

In the meantime, here's my carry for Black Friday today:

The red paint is my mod.

Especially appropriate for Black Friday is the Black Box coffin jack.

I wish Buck would do more in this charcoal colored wood. So pretty.

FYI, I see others have quoted your post but your pictures don't show on my laptop. (???)

Yes, it would be nice to see Buck use the charcoal diamond wood on their knives once again.

Its weird that you are not seeing it, I am using Google Photos. Not sure what would cause that.
