Re: Found a pair today
That’s two beautiful knives that you have. I never run into anything like those. And if I do find ones that good, it comes with a huge price.
"The Edge...There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.

Paid $100 for the pair, so I’m pretty happy. Cleaned them up, all blades fire and lock.

Re: Found a pair today
Awesome score! I've seen a few for around $100 EACH in parts shape. Never seen a Shapleigh version either.
I usually carry a small penknife around the house, and maybe GEC will consider producing something like the old pressbutton penknives. My state is loosening its auto laws starting in July, and I plan to add a few. Most autos are just too tactical for my tastes, and I'm not the biggest fan of Stilletos. Press Button Knife Co./Schrade made some really attractive ones, but few have been reproduced. Big fan of the pens and the Hunter's Pride.

I carry a Kershaw Blur, or SOG Flash II, both cam-assisted. After a small push, they both open like autos. Inexpensive, and legal.
