Thanks, I got linked there earlier. I was born in the 60's, and all my knives growing up were typical Trappers, Stockmen, Scouts or Bunny knives and Swiss Army knives, etc, with a nail cut or nail groove - and usually they were a Slipjoint except for my buck knives with lock-backs. I don't recall owing a liner-lock as I was growing up, and initially after they became popular I mistakenly associated liner locks with "cheap" knives. I was so wrong.
I typically carry a "Swiss Army" type of knife daily PLUS some kind of quick opening locking knife (flipper, assisted, or auto) which wont close on my fingers. So my traditional knives have been stored away for quite a while, and now I want to dig them out to play with them and reminisce about the old days. I'e spent the last 10-15 years just focusing on modern knives, and now I'm feeling nostalgic for the kind I grew up with. I gave a bunch of them to my younger brother before he passed away, and got several of them back after that, but many turned up missing.
