Thank you! I have been pretty happy with it so far. Finch knives is the parent company to Wheat State Knives, It’s their slip joint making subsidiary. This is the first and only knife model they have released so far, the Peacemaker.

Yeah, really like the coin too! You guessed right, I believe it is supposed to be a windmill to go with the Wheat State theme since they are out of Kansas. Here is a picture of the reverse of the knife and coin.

My rotation schedule has assigned me to carry a couple of heavy-duty lumber-laden knives this week, although I don't recognize the type of wood used on either of them. o_O
Otter Arbeitmesser that I bought 8 years ago. I don't see this model on their current website, but it's somewhat similar to the current Webermesser (Weaver's Knife, I think). I don't think mine "fits" quite right at the tang/backspring interface when the blade is open; blade doesn't appear to open quite as far as it should.

Gary, some judicious filing of the runup should let the blade open further. That is, if you can get at it with the blade still in the handle.

Thanks for the advice, Jeff. :thumbsup::cool:
I have a set of little diamond files that ought to work for this fix. But I used to keep them in my office at work, and now that I no longer have an office, I have to figure out which unpacked box of "office stuff" in the basement contains the files. :rolleyes:

Ha! I can relate. In 1993 I got flooded out of my apartment and had stuff scattered all over town - storage unit, friends houses, ex-girlfriend's house (the crazy one). I went to a job interview in tennis shoes because I didn't know where my dress shoes were 😵
