Zoogirl. Be careful and never under estimate the strength and violence of crackheads. A friend of mine is in the police force, and they advise people to avoid "crackheads" if they encounter them, their mind set to be extremely violent is very dangerous. You only have to look at the violence in emergency wards towards the people that are trying to help them. Just be careful is all i am trying to say. You have a good week.

You are right, of course. Thank you. Actually, I’d probably just throw the purse at ‘em and run. The purse weighs between five and ten pounds. I’d get a good head start.

Much better idea.

Rough Ryder #599 Whittler with 440A & composition
1973 Case #3201 Equal End Pen with CV & Delrin I got the RR about a week ago to see what the commotion was about. It's the first RR I've even had in my hands & it's the first knife I've bought that was made in that country. I'd rather have a different steel & different handles but I figured a split back whittler would be a good pattern to compare to one I already had. It cost me $17.98 from the outfit that owns a slew of once respectable trademarks that they put on knives that are made in the same country. Now that I crossed that line, I might as well buy something else I've never owned: a tactical knife. But I don't expect to get more than one of those, either.

Couple of stainless on a rainy day. B. Svoboda stag pen knife and a RR bone stockman.

Zoogirl, it that your first automatic knife?

Yes, it’s my first and only push button. I do have a Mall Ninja Special that I think is on a spring, but no button.
What attracted me to this one was it’s relatively small size. Well, that, and the fact that it was ten bucks, Canadian!

Nice Railsplitter! I need to pickup a user, the three I've got are just to nice although I do pocket my D2 rams horn occasionally.

Thanks, Trace. This is my first Railsplitter & I really like this thing. I'd like to have three more to carry!

Ok...so I stopped at the pawn shop and purchased this China made Schrade Uncle Henry.....$10.00 out the door.
I'm gonna see how these imports are!!

Scott, that far Eastern fella won't ever do for you 1/2 of what your Anza can do, but some of the recent Taylor output has been serviceable for the buck. Bear & Son make usable American-made versions of popular Schrade fixed patterns (all stainless as far as I've seen to date). I have a very passable Bear version of a fauxstag Uncle Henry Sharpfinger, made in the USA and prices to move. My original OT version is still way sharper, of course.

My first dedicated user from the resurgent Maher & Grosh marque, paired with a RAT-I. Think I'll carry the whittler tomorrow, too.

Scott, you must be going through withdrawals. Time to hit another flea market. ASAP!!

Guess what.

Still carrying my GEC 29 but added this railsplitter today just because. I'm sure it is a 'second/blem' as it doesn't have the blade etch the other D2 Rat Railsplitters do. Has some blade play but the w&t is smooth and strong. Should have gotten a pic of the other side as the rams horn on both sides is really nice, at least to me.

Hen & Rooster, Bertram Cutlery #252 RPB Canoe with SS & bone & Fight'n Rooster Gunstock Stockman with carbon & bone
With two roosters & only one hen I figure they need to be carried in separate pockets.
