Today's carry is
US Schrade Old timer 8OT stockman

The main blade is stiff enough that I need a helper to open it. I have the finger strength, but my finger nails do not, even though I keep them short. But the other blades are about a 5 and those are what I mostly use, so not a problem.

I was wondering about that on mine.
Main is noticably stiffer/heavier than the other two ... About an "8" to "8.5"? after lubing. The other two are a "5".
The three on my hollow bolster Imperial, and Imperial Frontier are all a "5", so I was wondering if my 8OT was "defective" concerning the stiff pull on the main.
I don't need a pick to open it, but it is somewhat disconcerning. Enough so I am more likely to carry one of the Imperials, or my vintage 585, which has a "5" pull on all the blades. I don't particularly like wrestling or fighting with my knife to open it.

That's unfortunate
I have an 80T as well, I'm currently at work & don't have it on me to check. I'm wanting to say my main is a little heavier than the others but it's not much heavier. Certainly not up to an 8+ pull, more like a 6-7 maybe.

Love the jigging on the lower two.
What is the one in the middle?

The Winchester is a little oily now. I'll take the Camillus from a few days back.

But it could help in a hotdog eating contest…

I may be the only one with a knife and fork… but I’d be classy for sure!

Couple of good looking knives there

Thanks!

Very cool. I’ve been debating whether I just start using my. 86 Charlie harness Jack. I just have so many users already. I guess there’s no reason they can’t all be full of patina.

Take one more look at this one the way it is. I’m going to dye it this afternoon. I’m wanting a darker color.

Said it before ~ Buck did us right on this Forum Knife.
Paired with my only Queen knife, a Country Cousin, which was a gift from Paul.
