Great pic, and a fine knife, Jack! :thumbup:
Went on a business trip and came across an outdoor - hunting - fishing shop. I found a slimline Opinel and a interesting small pocket puukko, this one: http://www.lamnia.fi/items.php?lang=en&pid=7088
I will post pictures later.
Here's a top-down, though I missed a bit of it.
I like the clip too. I'm just getting to the age when I think about easier opening. Also, spears are starting to look exotic to me.
But I like this knife for having a main blade just a whisker shy of 3", which is the max I can pocket without concealing a weapon. I like the straight-edge sheepfoot as a secondary. My problem with Jacks has always been that the blades are too similar, but the 3rd blade on a stockman seems like excess baggage to me.
One flaw this example has is a spot on the edge that contacts the spring. It isn't enough for me to want to send it back.
In fact, I can't always see it and might almost be imagining it.

Joeymoey, click on my avatar and send me an email, if you are at least 18 years old I have a surprise for you!Thanks for the replies Knarfang, sitflyer and scrteened porch. You have all sealed the deal, Iam getting one of these, when funds are available that is. It will be nice to buy something other than GEC for onceI kind of wish they put a liner between the blades but its not a deal breaker. Im surpised more companies don't make a 2-blade stockman like this - dropping the spey blade. Only other one I really know of is the old timer 93OT, but im sure theres probably more out there.
Thanks Greg! I would love to see some pictures of your modifications.
I feel like in my climbing travels I may have clipped that bolt. Great shot and pretty knife!
Trying to show the refined contours is difficult because they're fairly subtle but it's quite noticeable in the hand.
