Happy Father's Day. I was going to say I've never seen anything like that knife, but isn't the lock similar to an Opinel?
 
We got a TorCon of 5 this afternoon. :eek: Rain and hail later on this morning. :( I’m Totin these two to bring some sunshine to my day! :D

I must have known very well what kind and size traditional knives I like, because this old suspended pocket sheath fits perfectly to my Otter. Or the other way round. :)

I must confess that lately I had a change of heart conserning what I want to carry and why. A slip joint with a stout spring and blade between 3-3,5 inches is the sweet spot. No need at this time for a locking blade, I choose a fixed blade for other purposes. As a normal carry this is just fine. Laquoiles and these Otters serve me well. Of course the GEC I will soon get is the pinnacle, wonder how much I will dare to use it?

By the way, I recommend trying something like this sheath. They are not difficult to make, you can modify a cheap nylon pouch for suspended carry if you like.
