Subuster, pioneer, bantam came in today.View attachment 1878669

Love that green on the Bantam.

Received three packages today and used the Fox Livri to open them. The blade on the Livri is a little awkward visually, at least to me, but every time I use it to actually cut something, I'm impressed with what a great slicer it is. Pierces like the devil too

Anyway, the Livri is not the newest addition. One of the boxes contained a Vic Army 1 and the complete WKRP in Cincinnati with mostly restored original music. I'll admit to being slightly more excited by the DVD's than the knife

Just realized that I cut the tip off the new Vic View attachment 1877071

When asked for their favorite line from WKRP, most people will quote the one from "Turkeys Away", but mine is, "Arthur, we're not talking about right and wrong. We're talking about the law." Love that Vic #1, I need to get one of those.

There's so many great lines, I'd have a hard time picking just one
Maybe, "Booger!"

Picked up this Remington knife at an antique store in Newcastle, WY this week during my trip there to visit family. Don't know too much about it but for $35 I couldn't refuse.

A buddy retired and moved just outside Newcastle. I’m taking a two week road trip in August and I’ll be spending a couple days there. I’ll have to check out that antique store.

It’s beautiful area up there, Jim, very rural. The Black Hills are also very nice, along with western South Dakota.

Good evening. I just recently picked up these two 54s and thought I would share. Have a great night!

Incredible. Hard to say much else…

This beauty came in today, my first 85. Its a user so it went directly in my pocket. I was looking for one since 2018. I found this one up here in Canada for a decent price.

I love the way the handle shape and the jigging look so much like a beaver tail.

CK is an excellent dealer! Ordered this knife a little over a month ago and it never arrived. Mike contacted USPS and had them start a missing mail search. In the meantime he sent me another at no cost. Customer service is alive and well at CK! The first still hasn’t shown up yet .

But for me, if a knife has a soft pull, I'll never carry it.

I'm the opposite. If a knife has a heave pull I'll never carry or use it.

I've never seen any reason or sense in fighting with my knife to open it.
After all, the back spring's job is to hold the blade closed when it is in the pocket, and to keep the blade from flopping half shut when opened. Nothing more, nothing less. A "bear trap" "8" plus pull isn't needed for the backspring(s) to do their job.

I actually  like and prefer the "soft" pull of the Buck 301's*. (the 371's are a bit stiffer ~ closer to a "5" than the 301's 3.5 to 4.)

The pull on the 14 Tom's Choice Tom's Back I won in waynorth 's recent GAW has a "5" pull. To me, not too "soft" (neither is a Buck 301's 3.5~4 pull IMHO) and not too "stiff"
The blades on my 82 Dixie stockman and 85 Harness Jack are a "5" as well.

*My large and extra large Rough Rider stockman's also have a "soft" Buck 301-ish 3.5~4 pulls, and like my two 301's have excellent talk opening and closing.

What you call a bear trap, I call crisp and pleasing.

You're still young. Perhaps when you get old and the hands n' fingers (among other things) get stiff n' sore and don't work as well anymore, you'll change your mind.
