Thank you Jeff. The wood is called waboom...indigenous to Africa.

Yes, one of those grains hard to capture in a photo.

Arrived back home from a month away to find a package from Will Will Power waiting for me. It contained two very nice knives. A birch handled mini puukko, with a 2 1/4", blade and an A.Wright Ettrick. I have been carrying the Ettrick for the last couple of days and find it to be a very handy little knife.

Viper Hug slip joint in satin M390 blade and Ti bolsters/frame, with dark matter blue fat carbon covers. This one is a nail breaker.

This one is a nail breaker.

That's a shame.
Will loosening the pivot screw a small fracion of a turn (1/32 to 1/16 of a turn or less?) help cure the nail breaker pull?

It seemed like th spring was quite tight. I'd try it again, but now I have a new bandaid on the tip of my left index finger (I guess I can try my thumb in the nail nick or switch hands). I HAVE GOT TO STOP CLEANING THE BROKEN DOWN BOX's TAPE GLUE OFF OF MY SHARPEST KNIVES!

The offender is in custody now...



Nice little flap of skin I had to glue down after took 7 minutes to stop bleeding.
