I've been vacationing at a cottage with internet issues, but now I'm back home and trying to catch up with some of my favorite threads. This is a pretty cool knife, Mike! Drop point blade? Is that Michigan's Upper Peninsula outline on the bolster?

Thanks GT. Yes, that's the U.P. Its the "Mini Yooper" made by Rapid River Knifeworks in Rapid River, Michigan. The U.P. connection is the main reason I bought it. Quality is little hit or miss. It has a little horizontal blade play when open. Not too bad. Rock solid vertically. It has gaps along the liner/spring. OTOH the walk and talk is as good as any lockback I have. Its almost "silky". Blade steel is 154cm. It came very sharp. The blade is thin and slicey. Its a neat little knife. Their store is on my list of places to visit if I ever get back up there (its on the bucket list).
It is a drop point.

Thanks for the additional info and picture, Mike; looks like a winner! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:
I'll have to see what they've got (but their website currently seems to be getting stuck when I try to look at their merchandise).
