Kevin, how about a pic of it open. That looks like a really unique knife(in a good way).

:thumbup:




As a fan of all things small and effective the Christy knife is at the top of its game, I was generously gifted mine by Carl (Jackknife) and it resides in my left front pocket, it is so light and thin but highly effective that can't find a reason not to carry it, it has proven itself to be a better feather stick maker than my beloved Opinel #9, I modified the blades tip a bit on mine, anyway here's a quick review I did after I received it.
Anyone interested in the history of this knife just do a search Christy Knife Company

Taking my wife out for a nice dinner, these two are with me, both in fine mammoth ivory

Rick Menefee dogleg and a Tim Steingass sub hilt fighter, based on a R.W Loveless design for Harry Archer.

Here is what Bob said about the design,

Bob Loveless:

“I invented the concept, I want to say in 1967 or ’68, in response to Harry Archer’s request,” says long-time knifemaker and Blade Magazine Cutlery Hall-Of-Famer© Bob Loveless. “He described what he wanted—a knife that could serve him well in semi-tropical and tropical jungle areas as a survival knife and weapon. He wanted something that could be used for self-defense or as an offensive weapon, and a knife that could be lashed onto the end of a long pole for killing small game.” So, who was Archer? “Harry Archer never disclosed what his duty was, and I never asked him,” Loveless notes. “His work was with an agency that operated in adjunct with the Special Forces. Archer’s chute knife was meant to be a tool to help in a survival situation, and specifically to be lashed to the top of a chest pack, a chest chute—secondary parachute—so Harry could get at it quickly in case he got hung up in a tree after parachuting out of an airplane.”

Beautiful knives, Kris. Tim does a great job with the Loveless patterns and that Menefee is superb.

 

[Gevonovich]

Both excellent, Kris!! Thanks for the informative post...very interesting.

Yep! Love the pattern. I want one without the liner lock though and having trouble locating one lol

#56 Dogleg? I love that pattern. Very comfortable in the hand or pocket. :thumbup:

Nice. I had one without the liner lock, but gifted it to a fellow member here. I still have a 57 Geppetto Whittler. Same frame but reversed. It's like a chunky version of the new 38 Grinling Whittlers.

New old one from Dad for my birthday, Shrade-Wostenholm I-XL 1981 serial numbered Canoe

BrotherJim, That is a beautiful sheath to match that beautiful knife.

Very nice sir, I had a brother-in-law who worked at the Sheffield factory where that knife was put together :thumbup:

I'm carrying these two today, a Wheatley Brothers Tackler's Knife and a Mini Douk

A holiday today but raining like someone swept out buckets over the country... Blade Forum Knife 2013 Congress Jack is with me today.

 

[turbogts]

Always had a soft spot for peanuts

 

[clutchcarter]

Good stuff today guys!

For me today it's a John Lloyd that looks like it was handled with old bowling ball rubber, Love it!

 

[BigBiscuit]

That is pretty unique looking handle material Mark. As soon as I read bowling ball rubber, the light went on in my head thinking, That's it!

 

[BigBiscuit]

All the new #38 Whittlers inspired me to break out and carry my #57 Whittler. Essentially a chunky predecessor (for GEC) to the #38. It carries similar blade options in various configurations and utilizes the split spring design. I've had it for a while but for whatever reason, never really carried it much. This is also one of the reasons I didn't jump on the #8 wagon. Although I do like the slimmer profile of the #38.
