Elliott, that's a fine looking edge you put on the 21051 LSSP. I've got that same knife (3 dot) in jigged wood, and another 3 dot with black synthetic scales. Actually I've grown quite fond of the 440C that Case used in those knives, and found that it takes and holds a terrific edge.

I bought the jigged wood one new in 1977. Think I'll tote it around today. :)

So lets see here...Made by Case. 440C. Lockback. Very pocketable. What is there not to like about that? I'm going to have to look on the 'Bay for one of those. Is there a more common name for it...like Small lockback or something?
 
just got a Rough Rider dog leg jack knife. Let me just say I'm very impressed with the fit and finish of the knife. Definitly going to have to get a few more of these
 
That's superb George65, well done!

Today, it was last year's Forum Knife which is collecting patina apace from fruit cutting,even prodded a corroded battery terminal with it....the spey non eating blade mind.

Thanks. It was a most serendipitous addition to my collection. :cool:

(And the blades take a nice edge though I haven't used it for whittling (as yet.)
 
Lately I've been using my EKA Swede 88. Not a very expensive knife, but I feel the urge to use it over my other knives pretty often.
 
new (to me) CV copperlock. I also have a Boker trapperliner and like this Case much better.

Oh yeah! The Coats Texas Jack with the modified wharncliffe blade and red "Milky Way" bar jigging that is so nice. Thanks for posting Elliott!

I have with me my trusty, pocket friendly Queen City canoe today.
