If you can find them... USA made Old Timer. Found this one in an antique store. Looks ruff, but it's sharp as a razor. That was one time I didn't mind antiquing with the wife.

I just realized that I didn't include photos of the knives I suggested (*gasp*). I attached some this time and hope that everyone forgives me.

These are the more classy looking ones of what I listed.

Boker Elegance: Looks kinda like a budget William Henry to me.

Stainless Steel CRKT Drifter: Looks kinda along the lines of a sebenza

Buck Lux:

Kershaw Chill:

CRKT Pazoda:

Hope that helps .

it does help, thanks.

and clich, no worries, man. i'm glad i checked it out. it looked good to me, too. and it's a GOOD knife. just not the right size for what i was looking for. totally worth a couple bucks to resell it here for a discount just to try it on for size. also gives me a reference point for others in the lineup, size-wise.
-Blade tip ok on that HEST? was that just a prob on the original limited edition run and not the followup runs?
-can you use that wire-breaker notch as a bottle opener? b/c i am not going to be infiltrating any enemy camps surrounded by wire fencing anytime soon. but i do like beer. A lot.

Yeh no problems thus far, the wave opener/bottle opener looks like it would open beers just fine. Alot of the "problems" were fixed from what i can see. Im not really much of a folder guy since i spend most of my $ on fixed blades but i felt it was time for a decent folder and the HEST design, as gimmicky as it is, always looked cool. Love the D2, and its built like a tank ill say that. Lionsteel makes some good stuff.
