I greatly missed having my City Stock in the pocket. It has truly become one of my favorite traditional knives of all time!! I wish I had a second safe queen, I’ll have to track one down one day!

The only thing I’d change on this knife is making it a full steel construction. What a beautiful and well made Slipjoint!!

The shiny new ones are great, but it's really nice to see some patina and some scratches on the bolsters and shield!

Fruit and veggies make the best patina!
I'd say strawberries have the best coloration of carbon steel outside of hot proteins.

Having a back-up for a fantastic knife is the true collector and user's aim. Takes a while and a deal of patience mind In all forms this is a wonderful carry, I have the Micarta non City Stock- it's proved a wonderful companion and user, really admire these cities and I do agree, all steel would've been supreme. Yours is a really admirable knife.

Bill H seems to be shying away from all steel lately- see the 38 run- can't imagine why unless it's concerns over ageing machinery- again...All steel, be it carbon or stainless steel makes for the right knife in my pocket.

Thanks, Will
