What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Love the looks of this one with layered CF and blue G10 and stainless blade, bolsters and liners but it is a heavyweight at 2.9 oz and the pull is way up there, 7-8 on the clip point and about 9 on the pen. Hopefully opening and closing a lot and storing in halfway position will loosen it up.

That is a tough pull. Mine is about a 4 on the main and 5 on the pen.

Just realized I didn't do my ritual clean and lube on this one yet. Blew it out with contact cleaner/lube and a drop of mineral oil at the hinges. Seemed to help a bit and when my nails recover :eek: I'll give it a work out.
 
got a new higonokami im carrying around and fiddling with. no pix yet.
i like it but i havent decided how much. it somehow looks smaller than it really is.

Apologies for using the suppliers pic....but no time for a proper photo in daylight:-( A day off and I took my nearest and dearest to a show. A peanut seemed appropriate. Not up to the standard of all the fine knives here. But the RRs have allowed me to get a lot of reasonable knives for not a lot of money.
 
I've had that same knife for nearly 40 years now. It's a nice one.
