A little while back, there was a fair amount of discussion concerning the Vintage Knives Model 1902 Moose pocketknife. A majort concern by some were the stiff backsprings, and the initial difficulty in pulling the blades out. I have been using and carrying mine now for well over a year...I even have it here with me in Iraq. I would like to report to all that the blades are a lot easier to open now, after use, than they were at first. It's not that the springs are weakening...not at all!...it's just that the bearing surfaces are more "polished" than at first, making the blades easier to use. They are still "stiff", but in a good way. I don't worry about them closing on my fingers under anything approaching normal use!
This is my favorite pocketknife, hands down! If you're looking for a traditional-pattern two-blade folder to go with your "Nessmuk" sheath knife, this is the ONE!
