Man I really enjoy this new to me Lionsteel. It has near perfect action and fit and finish!

Single blade SFO Barlow (A. Wright description).



Here's the two blade version.



Here's the knife above with our BF Bunny Knife



You might ask where I'm going with this? Heck, I don't know - just going with the flow. I'm actually carrying the single blade. Sausage and eggs-up for breakfast.

A mostly cloudy day here in the City by the Bay . Not much on the agenda for today until the Giants game later. In the meantime keeping me company with a nod to Micarta Monday a BIG one. Have a great week folks!

Re-covered and blade deleted 88 my wife won on one of David V's auctions. It was to strong of a pull for her, so I gladly took it off her hands.

The matching lambsfoot is out there somewhere.

A couple of Buck fixed blades (118 and 121) from a friend. I have more than a few Bucks, but this is my first 121.

I’ve never owned, or handled, a Buck Creek knife. What manufacturer would you say there most similar to in quality?

Lance

According to the seller's web site when I bought it a few years ago, it was made in Germany, but country of origin is not marked on the blade. It does say "German Stainless", which means nada.
The fit and finish about matches a well done Case knife.
Single spring design. Spring is flush both open and closed. Spring strength is about equal to that of an SAK Tinker.
Maybe a tiny bit of blade rub when opening the pen blade, but the blades don't contact each other when closed.
The stag has been doctored with Potassium Permanganate or similar, so no popcorn, but it feels good in my hand. One cover is thicker than the other, but IMO, not objectionably so.
The only sharp edges were those of the blades, so nicely finished.
Here's a picture so you can see the stag thicknesses


Meanwhile, todays carry is a Remington R-151. Pretty sure made by Bear and Sons. Walnut and, I think, 440A. Fit and finish are very good.
