Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

Case xx Mini Copperlock Smooth green Apple bone. Another great example with no lock rock or side by side and centered blade. Checks all the boxes and man case has been knocking it out of the park especially on these Mini Copperlocks 👍🏻

Case Mini Trapper with Jigged Buffalo Horn and S35VN. Great blade configuration with a wharncliffe and clip point. Covers and blade steel are both great, and the fit and finish is solid.

I reprofiled both blades to ~18 DPS and stropped them through .5 microns before I started carving a soup spoon this evening.

I’m quite happy overall!

Buck 371 arrived this afternoon. I like it. Feels very substantial but not too heavy. Fit & finish is good.
I got it cheap as sold used, barely a mark on it. In the pocket tomorrow😄

I have that one. If you want to thin the edge(s), go for it.
I took the blades on mine to 10 degrees per side, (20 degrees inclusive) with no "micro bevel" when I bought it new, back in '14. It holds that keen edge just fine. It also cuts/slices noticably better than the factory edge. The working edge lasts considerably longer too.
After reprofiling the edge, I have only had to strop to keep it sharp. I may have hit it with a stone once or twice since resetting the edges.

I think it should be okay. I will use it awhile to see what it id like.
 
So far, based on the couple I'm able to get a hold of, these a solidly built knives!

Hoping to collect some more and learn more about them...
