Some gorgeous knife photos, folks. Thanks for posting them. I figure I'll always be a Case man up until the end. GEC, Buck, Queen, Victorinox, and a few others are in the mix, but Case is my jam, as the kids say. I carry them, use them, appreciate them all the time.
 
I have a nice case knife but it sits in my knife box. I can’t see a reason to carry a knife around that I have to waste time trying to open. What’s the point when you can carry a flipper that’s already finished the job and is back in your pocket before you even have a Case open? Must be about feelings and attachments more than practically.

But they are a very beautifully crafted knife.

That's a funny story.

Normally when we talk about “flippers” it’s in the GEC thread :D

But in all seriousness stick around and you will understand why some of us appreciate opening a knife slowly over flipping it open like a fidget toy.
 
Some of us aren't in a rush anymore, and like to slow down and enjoy life a bit. For me, that includes traditional folders.

Pic thread.

My slow hand of CV Case. (My blades seem to be going through a slight yellow and red tint phase right now, had been mostly gray and blues.)

I agree with you, it’s makes a great looking knife. I’m looking hard at the sowbelly.

Thanks, Todd. :)
Truth be told, they're both baseball shots, in a sense. The top pic shows the knife on the top stair that leads to the bleachers, and the background looks through the chainlink backstop out toward the left field fence. ;)

(The pic with the ball was taken in a little thicket down the left field foul line, where I found the ball wedged in a tree, as shown.)

Seems a little like Trolling when you come to the Traditional forum and say that. :(
But to answer your question, slowly opening and using your traditional knife adds to the experience and enjoyment. Some of us actually love knives and a traditional allows us to spend more time with them, opening, using, and closing them. It's part of an historic past that we reflect on. Either you get it or you don't. Besides, many of us carry both a traditional and a modern knife, and i for one end up using my traditional knife way way way more than the modern because it's more enjoyable and relaxing.
