small "insignificant"(?) change to the not shown SAK's.I believe Master Nessmuk would approve of my choices.
All three are "sturdy" pocket knives ... one is even his suggested pattern!(SHOCKING I can would/could own one.
)
Colt CT609 Black G10 series with "heavy duty" or "hard use" Ti coated T10 carbon steel blades.
Blades are a full 4mm thick at the tang and spine to the swedge on both the spear point primary and pen secondary.
(This model was moved to the Rough Rider/Ryder line when Colt exited the cutlery market, back in 2017. I don't know the RR number offhand.)
Rough Rider RR1569 Black G10 series large moose that I bought in late 2017, after COLT left the cutlery market.
This is another of the COLT knives that was moved to the Rough Rider line.
("fun fact": so are all the Rough Rider "Buckshot Bone" series.)
Blades are the same Ti coated T10 "heavy duty"/"hard use" 4mm at the tang and spine to the swedges as the CT609 canoe.
I don't recall the Colt "CT" number off hand. I believe I have it in an (now old) email from SMKW. I'll try to find it. I'll update if I find that email, and if anyone cares.
