Thanks fellers. It fits very nicely into the slot in my display case that I've been saving for it for the past five months.

I was gifted with two of those display cases (actually three) with glass fronts so I know nothing about the price. They're available online but I don't remember the price. (for ones like mine, I think $50-$60, don't quote me on that) I can say they are very nice and are a very classy way to show off your knives. That picture was taken with the lid open to eliminate reflections.

Edit: They come in various sizes of course. Mine are 18" X 12"

Sounds like a fair price for such a nice showcase IMO. Thanks for the information. ::handshake:: :D

Had this for two days now and it's rapidly become one of my favorite knives. This is my third Lionsteel and none have disappointed me. The pinchable sheepsfoot came shaving sharp, out of the box. My love for the sheepsfoot got sealed, with the GEC 93. This is a big knife, in a small package. The satin finished, copper handles make it a slim; yet, solid knife, in hand. It has crisp opening , half stop and closing snaps. With M390 steel it will handle a lot of chores. Will be interested to see the copper age. I usually like to carry a smaller traditional knife and a larger knife, to handle heavier duty. This really can fill either role. I think this is going to be a staple for quite a while.

These arrived about an hour ago. They're inexpensive and imported, but I truly liked the aesthetics of them, and man are they sharp. They're well built, clean and open nicely with nice closing snap. Sorry about the one photo w/haze. Lens fogged over due to humidity and I didn't realize it.

LJ, super nice looking knives. And I love the copper look. I'm not suure what you call it but on the 3rd photo from the top one of the blades looks like a scimitar shape. Very interesting.

Thanks, QS.

I believe that blade is nothing more than a Spey style 'skinner' blade, QS. That's what they call it in the description at SMKW. It is an unusual style blade though. It would do a number on small game.

Very nice, that Copper with black bands is great together. And agree with Quick Steel that Scimitar looking blade is a eye catcher !! Don’t know much about Red Rider ,but have been hearing as you said ,affordable, sharp ,appealing knife.The Black and White,what material are the handles? That Black and white Barlow is sharp! Nice stuff . Be safe Take care.
