Reworked folder
Bought this one some time back and while Its a nice example of a C Johnson 'Boys Knife'
I was never going to carrry it in the condititon it was in - Both blades were like a beartrap and I lost more than a couple of nails trying to open it
So last week I stripped it down, removed the pen blade and reassembled it, Main blade now a 8/10 pull but its still a bit rough on the nails so its now an easy opener
Realy starting to enjoy tinkering
