I especially like that Maher and Grosh Mr. Ripster! That's very pretty!

It made a tour of the Southeast, started in West Liberty, KY, went Lexington, KY, then to Louisville, KY, then to Oxford, MS, then to Jacksonvulle, FL and finally to Chipley, FL. Computer says it's 637 miles from West Liberty to Chipley, the Kabar took at least a 1500 mile trip in 8 days. Tracking is always interesting.
I have a Kabar 1097, 4" bird eye stockman. It is a used knife but I just like the feel of it. Saw the smaller 1092, 3 1/4" on ebay and was able to make a deal with the seller. This one has never been sharpened but sadly has some rust spots that have stained the finish and the handle on the mark side has a crack at the rocker pin as does the larger one.
Just something about this style that I like.

This one is a Robeson made by Queen. The fire engine red handles are just beautiful. The ringed bolsters are a touch I love on a knife. This one is a split back spring construction and snaps like a gator. What a great knife. I have it listed in my store but it might be joining my pack soon. I try to be disciplined and not keep everything, but man these are a weakness.

I got a new one today. Madmarco is influencing me. This is a CRKT called the CEO. It’s designed to be worn in your shirt pocket like a pen and it’s just about the same size as a pen. The slender blade is amazingly sharp. The carbon fiber handles are really nice looking. It will deploy out completely with a little practice. My fear is that when it moves out and my thumb slips off the thumbstud and the blade is not fully deployed, I will slice my thumb. Not a knife to hand to a friend to try out, unless you carry bandages with you. I think the slender design works against it if you have fat thumbs. Still, I really like this knife and intend to carry it.

Edit to post, the handles on this are not carbon fiber, they are glass reinforced nylon or GRN.

There are many years with them, the 1st generation gunstocks had them too.
