When they say "Assisted Opening", do they mean just the thumb stud or is it spring assisted?

Yup, spring assisted.

Oh MAN!! I love the bone on that top one-Q-... a real beauty! I can see why you couldn't resist.

Buck 301

That's a very pretty Buck (by Camillus)! What year is that?

Thanks It's not that old I don't believe. If I'm reading the symbol correctly it's a 2010.

Oh - then maybe it's not part of the Camillus-produced 300-series. I like it!

Doug, that's a good looking Buck. I'm not much on single blade knives but I sure like that one.




Found this Made in Japan tool kit for cheap on eBay and it showed up today. Brand new. All shiny, it looks to have never been used. Seems to be well made.

Jerry, That is a very neat acquisition. Impressive. Congrats!

Thanks Garry. It's different.

This knife, whose name is Ghillie, came all the way from China to be with me for a total cost of $3.75. It is 3 7/8" closed with a 3 1/8" blade. The colorful handle is shaped like a stalk of bamboo is a natural hand fit. I don't know it's composition. Could be melted down computer innards. There is also a spring but no liners, just handle, blade, spring & pivot pin. Blade has good opening and closing snap and get this: zero play, absolutely solid when open. Arm hairs pop off as soon as blade touches them. Edge grind goes all the way to very tip, both sides, giving a needle like point.
It is amazing really: as cheap and chintzy as it looks it actually is a well functioning knife with a razor edge and no issues.
I like my Ghillie.

Neat Roland

That's an interesting pivot - is that just a rivet of some sort?

Dang KJ... you better not put that one down in the woods. You might never find it again.
NICE knife!!

These today.....

Scott - I'm curious, when you hit a sale, do you typically buy all the knives they have, or do you typically cherry-pick the best they have from a larger set? Today's round-up looks to have come from opposite ends of time & space!

Scott, that tidioute has about the most different scales I think I have seen. Unusual.

Usually I cherry pic Jeff....sometimes I buy the whole lot. Going to one tomorrow morning.....they have CUTCO to cheap China made utilty knives...
I'll probably offer one price for the whole lot......just shove'em in my bag and see what happens!

I want to know about that spoon. Did you carve it?

That bacote suits that knife well Scott.

Very observant Doug....and YES I did!!

This Moore Maker 5204 knocked on the door today so I let him in. Needed some TLC 'cause the blades were abused but I cleaned it up and its ready for "moore" work. This one was built in 1999, probably by Queen.

Jerry I dig that Appy!
