Jack, I don't have any Okapis with locking rings, but if they're similar to a big Cold Steel Kudu I have (and I think the Kudu is supposed to be some kind of replica of an Okapi model), I totally agree with you! :eek:;)
Nifty alphabet soup for you with the HHB LF SFO & GEC PPP GS (gun stock)! :cool::cool::rolleyes:

Mammoth post GT! :eek: Yes, they look very similar (though operate slightly differently if I recall). I got one of the Kudus when CS first brought them out, didn't keep it long, I like my fingers too much :eek: Thanks buddy :D :thumbsup:

No-nonsense knife, Willie! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: I have one just like yours, and I like it much better than a full-size trapper. Like most of my knives, it gets carried quite infrequently; unlike most of my knives, when it's not in my pocket, it's on the kitchen counter and gets used often.

It's definitely one of my favorites gt, unfortunately it also doesn't get the pocket time it deserves because I have a couple that I like just a little bit more...

Notable pair of Parkers, Stuart! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks, GT. It seems that I've accumulated a passel of Parkers produced by Schrade. I need to take time for a family picture, as they are pretty nice knives, if I do say so.

Naturally, I needed to chortle when I read about your novel treatment of your knives, Stuart! :p:thumbsup::cool: Do they actually respond well to that sort of constructive criticism??

Not a whit, GT. They cut me off, lock up tight, and give me sharp glances.

What’s that in the middle? Reminds me of a welding wedge.

This thread is always taunting me, looking back and shouting, "Catch me if you can!" :(

Neat-o all-metal knife! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool: Is that a melon tester?


Notable pair of Parkers, Stuart! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


Thanks, John. :)


Thanks, Harvey. :) I suspect my memories of my various "firsts" are often inaccurate, but they're there! :rolleyes:
Noteworthy duo in your Milner and Ancient TC; the jigging on the Milner is dreamy! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:



Thanks, JJ & Dean, that's one of my best knife finds, one that I'd despaired of ever finding at a price I could justify. :) I wish when people see that I, like that Pioneer, am rather faded and have more than a few miles on me, they'd say that I have "amazing character." :D:thumbsup:


Noble wood, JJ! :cool::cool::thumbsup: The Camargue cross on the bolster of the top knife is sensational!


Jack, I don't have any Okapis with locking rings, but if they're similar to a big Cold Steel Kudu I have (and I think the Kudu is supposed to be some kind of replica of an Okapi model), I totally agree with you! :eek:;)

Needy is what I feel when I see that Northfield 78 with the spear/pen blade combo and checkered bone covers! :cool::thumbsup::cool:


Not at all shabby, John! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


Needful things, Ron! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


No-nonsense knife, Willie! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: I have one just like yours, and I like it much better than a full-size trapper. Like most of my knives, it gets carried quite infrequently; unlike most of my knives, when it's not in my pocket, it's on the kitchen counter and gets used often.


Congrats, Harry! :cool::cool::thumbsup: Nothing tops your Congressional Record for riveting reading. ;)


Nontrivial pair of knives, Dean!! :thumbsup::cool::cool: I think your Vic Solo is identical to my Swiss Army 1, except mine has an "updated" name, right? Great knife, although I'd like to find a Settler some day with Spear and pen blades on opposite ends.


Numerous charms to that Böker Barlow! :cool::thumbsup::cool:


Vince, your Laguiole is nimble and nonpareil! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


No doubt, Ron! I have Buck canoes in wood, bone (3), and stag that all give me nonstop enjoyment! ;):thumbsup::thumbsup:


I'd nominate that Case canoe as a vessel that could navigate to knife Nirvana!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:;)


Neighborly Guardians Give Nods to SamDamLamb Senator and to Nourishing Stag on New 62!! :thumbsup:;):thumbsup:


Naturally, I needed to chortle when I read about your novel treatment of your knives, Stuart! :p:thumbsup::cool: Do they actually respond well to that sort of constructive criticism??







Stuart, JJ, José, Chuck, Jack, and Dean: I'm grateful for your numerous nurturing comments about my knives. :)


Nice buttery stag on that mini trapper makes it a noticeable knife, José!


That duo is so NOW, John! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:



Noteworthy Alox carries, guys! :cool::cool::thumbsup: I can never decide on my favorite Alox: Electrician or Farmer. (Although if the scissors on a Pioneer X work well when I eventually get one of those, I think I'll be dealing with a 3-way tie. :rolleyes:)
Mike if a pocket knife can be nubile, I think that's what the Northwoods sowbelly stockman is! :D:thumbsup::thumbsup:


Congrats on the numinous Queen, Steve! You're a never-ending source of noble bone! :thumbsup::cool::cool:


Congrats on the new knife for your nativity, David! :cool::thumbsup::cool: You're really turning only 29 this month?? :rolleyes:

Thank you, Gary!
 
Sometime last week I pulled this Boker 280 out of my storage box only to discover the tip had never been finished properly (dull, wouldn’t even penetrate plastic clamshell packaging). Yesterday I got a chance to finish the Cutler’s job on my stone by carrying the edge up past the point. It’ll stab now! Back in my pocket yesterday and today, cut mono and braid lines just fine and cut heavy plastic well too. OH
