She picked a great gift!Thank you, it is a mini trapper, might be my favorite Case pattern overall. A gift from my lovely wife!
Thanks for the CRKT info.Thank you.
The Daedalus is a bit quirky, perhaps. Small, but not without bulk and weight. If it fell out of your pocket you'd sense the shift in your center of gravity.
Ornamental, but strongly built.
Here's a picture in strange light.

The bigger one's a Northcliffe. Probably more my idiom.
I think I have four CRKTs. I like them all.
Thanks for the encouragement.You contribute in many ways, my friend.
JJ, your "fairly old" knives are all so pristine!
Clever self-referential photo, Jack!

I don’t know if you knew it, or it’s just one of those unexplicables, but up here, there’s a Columbo re-run on tv every Sunday evening. That was yesterday’s episode.
I hope the move goes well, John; looks like you have a more-than-capable knife for it!Moving my son back to Santa Clara today to finish his last semester of college (undergrad).
This will be his first apartment after having lived in the dorms the last three years. He's excited.
Choosing a knife that is Bay Area friendly and I know will be useful for opening up boxes and cutting rope.
