And mine came in yesterday's mail. Sure is pretty but I haven't decided whether I like it or not; Very stiff to fire and very "pinchy."

Heads-up, gents: A fresh run of the SFO autos in Kingwood just hit the shelves. There were twenty-eight when they were first listed late last night (9/9/12); now down to twenty. These things sure are pricey (probably overpriced, IMO) but I'm still very tempted to bite the bullet and grab another one while the gettin's good.

Nice grab there, Bonehead! The (I assume NOS) stag version of the Schrade auto represents a pretty serious commitment if it's the one of which I'm familiar. Here's hoping the wife is in a particularly good mood when she catches wind of the purchase. :wink: :mrgreen:

These were right up my alley. I got my hands on a 2 blade Yellow and an Ivory LL which I cannot keep my hands off. I love 2 blade jack's, but this liner lock is sweet. It is what I consider my first real traditional liner lock. My Case Russlock and Trapperlock just don't compare IMO. Would love to see more EO's in the future. Great job from Mike!

I bought these 2 #72's from the AAPK store of King Cutlery, and they are awesome. These are the prettiest knives in my collection. I can't even explain to you how cool these knives are in real life. Thanks so much King Cutlery. I thought that these two would fit into this thread. They are 72111LT with red "ELK" stag, and they are mathching serial #23 out of 23.
