Great knife, and great photo, Luciano. The pic really captures the form, texture and color of that classy Menefee, and the background is perfect.
Thanks Rick!

Hi Mack,
What pattern is that one in the middle? I haven't seen that blade configuration before and the frame almost looks like a copperhead but not really.

It's a mini Copperhead. The angle of the pic may be throwing it off.
I recently stopped in a knife shop and had them sharpen it for me. They got it razor sharp but for some reason turned the tip up slightly. I was at first really ticked but after using it for a while I kinda like it.

Three damn fine knives there Mack:thumbup: That Pen is a diamond.
Today, Queen Cutlery Teardrop. Long time favourite, bit heavy but really nicely done.

The nice thing about wearing cargo shorts is the availability to carry extra blades. Today I have these.
Yowza! That pen is something else! Look at that stag! And those teeny little bolsters! That is old-school cool, for sure. :thumbup:
Today I have my Tribal Spear, a Case small gunstock in stag, and a Case (Standard Knife Co.) single-blade 005 pattern barlow. I need more pockets!

i did it!
i bought the case middle stockman in blue jigged bone. i am now suffering from shoppers remorse. the good thing is i'll get over it and have a bad*ss knife! i have been wanting a quality blue bone knife FOREVER. until just a month ago i finally got a blue bone knife(frost cutlery) i felt like i had been gouged after paying 20 bucks for it:barf:. if i hadn't seen it in person at a fair i would never have paid 20$ for it. i paid about 42$ for the case blue stockman.

I got this one in the mail yesterday. It's in my pocket today. Courtesy of Jason Baker's give away. It is one sweet little gem.

i am slowly starting to lean more towards traditional folders... this thread certainly isn't helping either...

colt knives sure look nice and you can't beat the price. i really don't care about all the fancy expensive exotic steels anymore. it's just a bunch of hype(not to say they aren't good steels). i have a spyderco in zdp189 and it is unsharpenable(and i can sharpen anything), you would be more succesful wearing the stone down than getting the knife sharp. if you can sharpen a knife easily it is much better.

i love cargos for the same reason. if i didn't mind all the weight i would have my pockets loaded with knives to where they looked like a squirrel with nuts in its cheek, but then again far to many people are intimidated by knives. everyone thinks i am psycho for carrying 2 or 3 at a time.

One fixed and one folder - always. Folder takes on 95% of the cutting and the fixed is there for when it counts. Today it's a Case mini Copperlock and a Snody carbon fiber Menace. Tomorrow I think it's gonna be either my Northfield Toothpick or my Bose/Case Dog Leg Jack along with a Bark River Gunny. Ha. thank god it's the weekend and I can go bigger.
