Thanks, I haven't thought to carry it in a while - easiest carrying 4" pocketknife I own. OHThere's a pattern I wouldn't mind having again. Haven't seen a picture of one of those in a while.
In 2005 Camillus was making these in yellow Delrin; they were offered with either Schrade or Camillus tang stamps.Thanks, I haven't thought to carry it in a while - easiest carrying 4" pocketknife I own. OH
Didn't they also make these in Green Delrin (with yellow ends) for Remington? OHIn 2005 Camillus was making these in yellow Delrin; they were offered with either Schrade or Camillus tang stamps.
Well hornetguy , my wife and I were in Nashville last December, and as a guy that loves knives, I started looking for places that carried such items. I found this little shop in one of the buildings on the route of a bus tour that we were taking. The shop is located in the old Marathon Automobile factory. It has been "renovated" and multiple shops opened up inside. Many of the old tooling and equipment was left in there as a "museum" of sorts. Very interesting place, with a lot of history! We thoroughly enjoyed it, and recommend going if you're in the area. The "Tactical Lounge" is a knife shop that was also interesting, but I only purchased the coffee mug there.I can honestly say, I've never been in a "tactical lounge" before.... I'm almost afraid to ask..
I have tue tue-blades with me today.... both of them sort of "staggy" looking.... the 92 Eureka jack, and the 33 Conductor.... both patterns are pretty "wunnerful", to channel Lawrence Welk for a moment......

What a cool place! I love going in places like that... old buildings, renovated... there's some of that in the Stockyards in Ft Worth, but many of the shops are more "touristy" souvineer type shops...Well hornetguy , my wife and I were in Nashville last December, and as a guy that loves knives, I started looking for places that carried such items.

I admired the swell center when they first came out but there was a bunch if static from people not pleased with the fit and finish. Yours looks great!my new swell center jack just came in the mail, Merry Christmas to me
Fit and finish is perfect!

I have had some case knives that were less than perfect in the past, but honestly all of the recent ones I have gotten have been outstanding. This one was even had a nice edge out of the box. Usually the first thing I do with a new case knife is sharpen it, but this one was good to go.I admired the swell center when they first came out but there was a bunch if static from people not pleased with the fit and finish.
