All About Pocket Knives

That thing jumped out of the tube and into my pocket so fast yesterday I haven't even had a chance to put a better edge on the Wharnie and clean up the joints some. It should get a break for Stag Saturday so I'll take some time to slap some polish and 3-in-1 on the thing and drag it across an Arkansas stone before the next ride.

QS, will you elaborate on this knife? More pics, maker, etc.
Don’t think I have ever seen it, and it calls to me.

That's a Pacific Rim Colt brand in buckshot bone of recent vintage. Built in the same facilities as Rough Rider, IIRC, and occasionally with the same tooling. I've always liked some of those knives with the buckshot handles, but that one is pretty wild even for me.

How does the 440 hold up, QS? Certainly not as well as some of Tony's creations, no doubt.

I enjoy things crafted from natural materials and those are great, lovely primitive style to them. Very nicely done I-Man and a cool hobby ya have going there.

Tony, Tsar Bomba hit the target. A Colt. The majority of my pocket knives do only light duty so I am always reluctant to generalize on the performance of their steel. It arrived with a good edge and it certainly performs satisfactorily on the simple "open the mail, cut the string" kind of duties. The blade reads KEEPING THE PEACE SINCE 1836. Comes with a half stop.

This is one of my favorites I'm carrying today
