#99LB Wall Street?
Re: #99LB Wall Street?
Dale, I can only speak to the clip and spear that I own and both are very easy on the pulls.
Love all Jacks
Re: #99LB Wall Street?
Thanks Perry.
I trust you when you say it is an easy pull, I am more concerned about the comport of the handle.
I know handles can be deceptive, but that handle seems so square and boxy.
Is it comfortable to use?
I have knives I think look perfect that are uncomfortable to use and others that look like I wouldn't like them but turn out to be favorites.
I guess it mostly has to do with how it fits my hand.

Re: #99LB Wall Street?
Yeah Dale, I will say that the 99s seem more square than some others but very well balanced in the palm of my hand. I know your hands are a bit bigger than mine. Nice weight in the butt end of the knife handle. That being said, also is a pretty thin knife overall though. I also will tell you that the scales, where they meet the liners are curved and not squared at all. This being the case with the Autumn bone anyway, that's my only personal experience.
Love all Jacks
Re: #99LB Wall Street?
Dale, just to be clear, there is a small squared area at the very top of the handles. Maybe 1/16 of an inch squared.
Here's some shots. Impossible to feel however.

Re: #99LB Wall Street?
Thanks Perry, those shots help.
I like the way the bone is beveled. I think I might like it as a user.
I will have to save up my allowance.

Re: #99LB Wall Street?
Glad I could help a little, Dale.
I would think the Wharncliff would be as easy to pull.

Thanks. I really appreciate the information.
BTW, you are still planning on coming to the Oregon show in April aren't you?

Re: #99LB Wall Street?
Say, when is the Oregon show? As I recall it's in Eugene, but It may have changed. I'm gathering the 99Wall Streets just for collector purposes. Same as I do for the 72LBs and the 42LBs. I'll see if I can post the 421114LBs.
Re: #99LB Wall Street?
Nope, it is still in Eugene and will be April 11th & 12th next year.nordic320 wrote:Say, when is the Oregon show? As I recall it's in Eugene, but It may have changed.

Re: #99LB Wall Street?
That's a nice 99. I considered the Wharncliff but was afraid it might not be one hand operational.
