What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[LastRodeo]

OK, I have to ask. I have two Calf Roper 66s. I love the design, size and feel. But, both have wimpy springs on the two small blades that have weak hold-open pressure. I can easily roll both closed with my index finger. Is yours the same? Great Eastern Cutlery told me that’s just how they are.

My first generation #66 stockman seem to have a little more snap than the later knives had.

Thanks Stuart!

Very satisfying pattern, simple and yet elegant.

Wish they'd do some Longpull Spears though.

Yes, simple and elegant. One of the best looking spears I have seen. And the ebony! (A gift from @r redden.)

I almost forget it's in my pocket, it's so light. But the blade is a very good size. And I love the way the blade snaps open. GEC did a great job with these.

GEC did a great job with these.

They did indeed. IMHO everyone should get one of these, just to experience what it’s like to own a knife that is 100% about function.

The Stockyard Whittler looks like tomorrows classic. But that old Remmy jack!

I’m going to start carrying this Dixie Stockman, beginning with the next week or two. I really like the maroon linen micarta.

Ford sync 2 in the background. Haha. I've thought about upgrading mine but it's an expensive proposition.
