Thanks Tyson A Wright Tyson A Wright . A cap lifter?? That's no good on a knife like that :( Will keep an eye out and have trades ready too. The Fox Livri is I think similar and I enjoy using that a lot.

Much as I love the Proper, there are several details that I often think they didn't get quite right. The Fox Livri strikes me as someone taking a swing at making a 'Proper 2.0' that addresses most of those things. I'm very interested in one of those, but was initially halted when several reviewers said that the blade hits the lanyard tube when closed. Unfortunately, I've never had the chance to hold one, so I'll probably just have to bite the bullet sometime and buy one of those to check out, but I suspect that with that in hand, you may not need a Proper.

Interesting, been v.saisfied with the Livri: light in weight, well made, great steel. looks the part and had no problems with mine hitting the lanyard or spring.

Love that pair, Jon. I didn’t realize how much I’d like the 12 until I picked one up from bigfish64 bigfish64 Todd a while back. It didn’t take long to realize how great that pattern is, though it seems to be generally unloved by most.

you may be a bad influence … I have a pristine stainless 12 with elk handles, and your recent posts have me considering putting it into service … 🙄

Inspired by others posting their 12s, plus my usual Proper.

That makes four #12 supporters for the day! I’d call that a win for a random Monday in August.

Now…I just have to find a knife with an acorn on it to go with my oak leaf.

Ed- we need to see a photo of that elk or it doesn’t exist 😁.

Spoken like a true collector! 😁😁😁
Can’t get to it right now for a new photo, but here’s a couple glamour shots from the archive …B3F04644-7740-49FD-AC45-4D5EC8421E64.jpeg

Your super cool and very handy Sheffield Metal Monday large pen makes an an excellent mate for your HHB; love the pastoral Hartsfield shot, too! :cool:😁👍👍
 
Seems it's not uncommon on the pattern.....my Beer Scout is a bit of a wreck, cracked pins both sides plus around the bail and I've never dropped it nor banged it down.
