Dale,
Your wrist sounds alot more troublesome than my elbow. They only had to rebuild it once and I got about 45° movement in it. Now my leg was a different story, started with a 10mm rod and kept breaking. I now have a 13mm in it and it's about an inch shorter.

I was surprised to find that I liked them as much as I do, I need to remove the belt clips on the backside, I don't find them useful, more annoying than anything else. I also need to add that spring.

Are the Camillus made in the USA???

A couple of Kershaw Leeks and a Scallion. Also a Meyerco Blackie Collins Strut 'N Cut Rascal and a couple of Chinese POS AOs. One because it has the Marine Corps emblem on it, the other because it was a dollar. No pictures on the last three.

gardd-
That post was made in 2006, Camillus closed up about February of 2007. At the time that was posted, Camillus had those knives made in Taiwan. Since Camillus closed someone is having the same pattern made in Spain, iirc. I have heard they are nearly the same.

Great old thread, thanks for resurrecting it!

Might as well jump in as it was AO's that first got me sliding down the steel slope!

i really feel bad about you guys that have all those joint problems, has to be some pain involved. i received a plastic knee about 4 yrs. back & it was great --no pain & i can work all day w/o trouble.certainly i believe any individual with these impairments should be specially allowed to carry any knife --special tool to make their life easier. the new benchmade barrage was my last toy but it was too heavy for work..i have no problems with these knives but i can open mine with a flick of the thumb nail--my b.m.710 in m390 & the. spydie endura in zdp are my work carries but on the water i carry my millie in s3o. i'm lucky to have good dexterity in my joints since i still roll at 72.---HiPower

Here is a SOG Twitch II;I used during hunting season,I may have to put in EDC rotation

that AUS Steel I had to resharpen after one deer but it was easy to bring back I do like the steel in the Kershaw Scallion better.

my 2 AO, gerber mini fast draw and its big brother. i really like the simplicity of the unlocking slide on the side and they hold a decent edge. they get carried from time to time.

I have a couple of AOs but gimme autos any day of the week.....and my .45, just sayin'

jerryd6818 · Post by **jerryd6818** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 4:08 pm

A few more have joined the pile since I last posted. More Kershaw Leeks, a couple of Buck SIRUS AO's, Kershaw Needs Work, Kershaw Zing (flick), Kershaw Skyline (flick) and a Kershaw Pack Rat. The little Kershaw Silver Spur II (thanks Scott) would be a stud opener if there were room for a stud. Ignore the Bucks in the clam pack. They're just there because they're orange.

Here's just a few that I have pictures of. Love them AO Kershaws. I EDC one along with a slippie

Oh my, Cutty. There's something about those Baby Boa's...

Top pic, bottom knife. Did you remove some partial serrations? What happened to the blade on that one?

Jerry
It once looked just like the one next to it sans the DLC coating on the handle that it didn't come with when i got it in '07.
That one was put out on loan to a guy who used to do work for me (construction) a few years ago and that's the way it was returned. He was a sub. (grading/silt fence etc.) and a few weeks passed before I got it back, after repeatedly reminding him. When I asked him "what the bleeeeeeep did you do to it????" Well the short answer is, a GRINDER was used to sharpen it after he abused and damaged it. Needless to say I never loaned him so much as a cup of coffee after that. I was able to get a decent edge back on it but it sure is ugly now.

So now it rides in the tackle box or glove box most of the time. To tell you the truth I would trade a bunch of them to have construction come back like it was here back then, pre busted bubble

I don't understand what goes through the mind of people that will treat the property of others in that manner. Is their brain housing group just a vacant space? Do they just not care. Are they ignorant enough to think they are doing a good job? "Unh. Dull. Thor sharpen." The answer is beyond my feeble mind.

It just lends credence to the old adage: "Neither lender nor borrower be."

My buddy, the guitar player, lent an amp to his son who is also a guitar player. The son lent the amp to an acquaintance that was in a band and in need. When John's son got the amp back, it had been painted some God awful color along with child like figures all over it AND it had been dropped so hard the transformer mounts had sheared. I want to hunt them down and beat them severely about the kneecaps with a baseball bat but John says no.

Get 'em Jerry.

I will say that "el dipspit" did offer to replace it but back then I was so busy and doing so well (comparitively speaking) that I just let it be. Nowadays I would react a bit differently

Everything is relative to what's sittin' in the bank, I guess.

We make our decisions with the information we have at hand and based on the current situation. If things change, oh well. What you did was right for you at that moment in time.

If we use that incident to make a decision in a current situation, we call it experience.
