Looking good, Greg! :cool::cool: I've never handled a GEC #14; how small do they feel? You obviously are smitten with the single-blade models :thumbsup:, and don't agree with those who claim they're too thin without 2 blades. (Are any of the non-Barlows available with 2 blades?)

Thanks GT. They feel a bit smaller than a 34OT, as you might expect, since the 34OT is longer and has more blades. But, not nearly as much smaller as I'd expected. The single-blade model still feels plenty comfortable in my hand. I wear a medium in gloves and get a 3 1/2 finger grip on the 14. I really like its slim profile in the pocket.

They did make two-blade, non-Barlow 14s. In fact, I think some are still available new from dealers.

Speaking of 34OTs, that's what I've got in my pocket today:

South Africa. The Okapi ratchet knife used to be made in Germany for the African market, and became a favorite of Keith Richards by way of Jamaican rudeboys. In addition to the ratchet, there are several Okapi slip joint designs that I had never seen until they appeared on the Baryonyx site. I have no idea if those are old designs or if they originated after production shifted to SA.

I agree that Opinel is a paragon of sophistication and refinement by comparison. But if you want a sheepsfoot blade on an Opinel, you have to grind it yourself.

Thanks Henry. I'd not been to Baryonyx before. I just had a look. Funny thing is, they describe the Okapi Genet as a sheepsfoot, but they're showing clipped blades. The Svord caught my eye too, very nice looking when open. Just don't know about the protruding tang when closed.
