Wow. That Copperlock looks great with that red bone. That clip blade is just about perfect. I had a mini Copperlock but my son "liberated" it from me.KnifeSlinger#81 wrote:Just got these two cases (among others) in trade, but these ones went with me for the weekend. Plus my well traveled 8OTY.
Guess I'm gonna look for one like yours. Too nice not to own.
I have to ask.....what do they call the acrylic handles on that Russlock?

Re: WHAT ARE YOU CARRYIN RIGHT NOW? WHAT IS YOUR FAV EDC?
Thanks. I think the copperlock is a beautiful knife in every way, you should definitely get one. The walk & talk is simply perfect for a lockback. The russlock handles are called patriot kirinite. They look very nice, they have a bit of a sparkle effect to them. It reminds me of the wild colored cell handles of the 20's and 30's, but these won't gasbdev wrote:

I love a gunstock frame. That's the best part of that knife for me (that and the color/shadow pattern).ken98k wrote:I love the blade on the thing but the handle, not so much.
Catskills, probably. I had designs on my grandfather's old ranch near Liberty but with real estate the way it's been that quickly grew out of reach. Playing catch-up but I may need to settle for something smaller. The well water in that area is legendary, to this day the best I've ever had, and straight out of a tap at the perfect temperature. It's part of the watershed that makes NYC water famous.bdev wrote:Bensonhurst for me.....how far upstate?
Carried a 2-spring Imperial Kamp-King that took a crazy sharp edge along with a way underutilized Schrade 206 today. It's rare that my OHO fits the watch pocket but so it is with this Micro-Recon. The two black knives set side-by-side are only a millimeter or so thicker than the Barlow.

Re: WHAT ARE YOU CARRYIN RIGHT NOW? WHAT IS YOUR FAV EDC?
It does not, it's flat on both sides with a "lanyard" hole which a keyring had been threaded into. I removed that and carried it on a small ball-chain on my keyring for some years, but I swapped it out for a Vic Classic SD (alox) some time back and it's been mostly sitting among my other modern folders.KnifeSlinger#81 wrote:Tony that mini recon is an amusing knife, does it have a clip?
Blade is surprisingly sharp, it will bite if you aren't careful. Makes a hell of a box opener and backup utility knife.

Re: WHAT ARE YOU CARRYIN RIGHT NOW? WHAT IS YOUR FAV EDC?
Oh I agree, i very much like green. I said that because the green mini recons are a very bright "toxic" green. At least some of the older ones were.

Re: WHAT ARE YOU CARRYIN RIGHT NOW? WHAT IS YOUR FAV EDC?
I call that Zombie Green, and for the most part when I see "tacti-cool" stuff with splashes of that color (or any "zombie" reference whatsoever) I move on. Basic black is fine for me in that department.KnifeSlinger#81 wrote:Oh I agree, i very much like green. I said that because the green mini recons are a very bright "toxic" green.

I have the same rule about "zombie" stuff for ammo, too. Lookin' at you, Hornady...
Re: WHAT ARE YOU CARRYIN RIGHT NOW? WHAT IS YOUR FAV EDC?
Thanks, Ken. I really like the blade too. Not only does it look good, but it's super sharp.ken98k wrote:I love the blade on the thing but the handle, not so much.dcgm4 wrote:Nice knives, guys!

Do you not like gunstocks or is it the handle material? Either way, for shame. jk I've always liked gunstocks and the handle is a vintage Westinghouse recipe (my lousy picture doesn't do it justice). Westinghouse called it "turquoise glass weave micarta" or something along those lines. They called it micarta, but it's basically G-10.
