All About Pocket Knives

Hi, I'm Turnip. That's not my real name but it's lot more interesting than my real one. Long time reader, first time poster. My knife collection is small; two swiss armies, a tiny imperial 194? barlow, an opinel no6, sodbuster jr., and the knife I wish to expand upon today. This is a double bladed 3 inch pakistani folder. The steel is crap more than likely, the construction overall is so-so and whoever had this knife before me really hated foreigner because not only did he make some odd alterations on the lock blade, he pounded this knife. Yet I love this knife. In a sea of pakistanis trying to gain a midwestern accent out of out of a desperation to fit in, this knife is playing cricket while talking smack at India. For five dollars, I got myself a conversation piece and a fun knife.

to AAPK,

Glad you decided to step out of the shadows.

Thanks that's the nicest greeting I've ever gotten from cookware and I've talked to farberware.

It's all about the cast iron man.

BTW don't recall ever talking to a turnip before.

I like the knife. I like to see some old thing that's been beat to death and in general lived a hard life but is still kicking. In my book, a knife is a tool and that one still has a lot of work in it.
