Nice Rob.![]()
Such a good little pattern!![]()
I wish you luck in getting new unit up and running. The 47 is a fine knife.Our AC unit gave up Tuesday so been a rough last few days trying to get by with a portable unit and some creative use of fans until they can get a whole new unit installed. Should have been Friday, but rain kept them from being able to so Tuesday is our next hope.
On the plus side, this new (to me) 47 in 440C that I picked up out of the amazing collection ofblack mamba has been an absolute treat.
It’s a well-loved knife, but it has a massive amount of good blade and life left in it, and it’s been a joy to carry and use. It’s been in my top 3 knives to get, and not having to worry about actually carrying and using it is a plus for me!

Also have to give credit to my special alox Pioneer. I put this in my back pocket every day and have for probably more than 10 years. Having no bail loop on this version has made all the difference for me too.

I’ve been after one for a while and there are not that many. I believe it was 3 runs of 25 for each cover material - amber jigged bone on my example, maroon micarta (which is would also absolutely love to find one day) and American Elk, and then they had a serialized run for each of the 3 covers as well if I’m not mistaken.Sytianless Viper I didnt know they existed,Just what I need if I can find one.










Would you mind sharing the info on the sharpening system?
What year is that bearcat? BeautifulToday's carry is just the knife, although the Ruger Bearcat is equally classic and equally diminutive.
A Peanut for the win. CV blade steel and yellow Delrin.
