What a nice knife and fits the hand like a glove. The kydex reversible Sheath has no rattle and pops in and out tight with a nice snap.
She’s a slicer to !

Is there a way to report a post that makes you want to buy a knife you probably don’t need???
Asking for a friend

That looks like a great solid using knife!

Thank you Jim. I'm surprised by the density of the wood.

This might break the rules, but this is my first ever modern slipjoint (counting out Victorinox). This is a Manly Wasp. I was impressed by the price/quality - ratio of this knife.

I agree, HFinn, here is mine with a #74. I also love the S90V blade steel.

I think it’s safe, as long as you don’t show the other side.

I might remove the offending metal thing, because it ruins the experience and use a pocket sheath to carry this.

These things had been on my radar for a while now. Then, one popped up on the exchange last week at a more than fair price, so:

I bought this on the exchange. 2013 SFO from Mike knifeswapper Always wanted one in Smooth White Bone.
The second GEC I ever purchased was it's brethren in African Blackwood which oddly enough is not on the GEC totals 2013 page.

Surely the labelling has been delivered to the wrong place..?

Surely the labelling has been delivered to the wrong place..?

It is the standard California Proposition 65 warning label put on anything that contains or may contain one or more chemicals from a list of chemicals that are or may be potential hazards. This law seems like a case of possibly good intentions gone awry....gotta love the American legal system and bureaucracy...

Very nice! I’ve been looking Nontron knives recently, too. I wish they had more available in carbon steel. The only carbon model I’ve found (without having to order from France and pay expensive international shipping) is the No. 25, which seems quite large. Still, I may pick one up some time. How do you like it?

I actually like it a lot. The action (for lack of a better word) is maybe the best I've personally encountered on a friction folder. It has about the same amount of resistance as a 6-pull slip joint, but since it's not a slip joint, it has a very different, uniform feel to it.
In terms of the size, the 25 is what I have. For me, it is a great carrying size. While it is a little past the threshold of public scariness, its sort of rustic and whimsical unconventional design make it easy to take out in public.
Size comparison, from top to bottom, Buck 110, Nontron 25, Opinel 8, Case large trapper.
