@5K Qs
Gary you outdid yourself. At least two pages of the thesaurus. The Saldana was deserving.

Stag rests well on that Sowbelly Queen made outstanding knives, then.

@5K Qs Aspiring to alluring alliteration, I sit stumped and stupefied following your eloquent elucidation of your views. Again, fine knives, and I can see why the Colonial may have sparked an interest in traditional knives, specifically folders.

Preposterous I know! The delrin scales on my Boker are turning a lovely caramel colour around the edges as the outer dyed portion has worn in the pocket. It gets more beautiful each day!

A Case Peanut has been slipping into my watch pocket and I have thought a few times if I could just find a larger version, something more comfortable to hold onto, the Boker would be in real danger. And here it is!

But alas purely of stubbornness and habit the Boker remains. Two years into wearing out a knife it would be a shame to stop now! It would be nice to do at least once in my life...

I had these two yesterday and again today.

Truly the quality of this knife from 1991 blows the newer Queen knives out of the water. Without a doubt the nicest Queen knife I’ve ever had.

Thanks, GT (and Dylan! and Stuart!)! I love the pattern on the old Alox Vics. That Cadet looks wonderful.

r8shell Great looking Enzo! That's a recent acquisition, no? What do you think of it (so far)?

 

[B.F.U]

Good to see the #78s are getting used!

I just got it today, and I like it a lot. Sandvik 12c27 is a good, easy to sharpen steel. I think it's very similar to Opinel's inox. I've long been eyeing small fixed blades, but couldn't justify spending twice what a GEC costs on one. These EnZos are around $50, and seem well made, and it comes with a nice leather sheath! I fashioned a lanyard to go through a belt loop and hang in my pocket instead of carrying a modern folder. I'm tempted to order another one in scandi grind, to compare.

Is that your handy work on the easy open notch? It looks just perfect in my opinion.

Thank you, it is my work. I have done several on different frames over the years.
