Thanks for the pictures gentleman, both great looking knives.The pull on the 35's is nothing to scoff at. The pull on both my 35's is a solid 8 - maybe 9 on one of them.bigfish64 You wanted pictures of a 31 - well here you go.

The knife pictured came to me second hand. I don't know who the guy/gal/youngster was that owned it but use it they surely did. Their sharpening technique was definitely not polished but the knife came with very sharp blades. It wasn't abused but as I said, used and used hard. The pull on the knife is a very solid 9 - enough to make you pucker when opening it - both blades.
Right onAs of today, add me to the list of folks who carry a case knife. Just got this Mini CopperLock in the mail!
Such a great pattern Mike. Wish they’d bring that one out of the vault…and make it like they used to.1979 6235 1/2 carried yesterday and today.

Very nice!Got my 35 out and carried it today because of this thread. This one's a 1978, really well built classic pattern. Agree that these need to come out of the vault preferably permanently.

Oh cool! I had one like that and restored it and gave it to my buddy. He was really, really happy with it.
