That is a nice elk straggler, Monk! ::nod:: ::paranoid:: ::woot::

Robert, there really isn't any closing "snap" on the 42LB pattern. It doesn't have a conventional backspring and uses a completely different mechanism that has very little spring tension/resistance. That's why they open so easily for us older guys with arthritic digits. ::shrug::

Thanks Bill!!! ::handshake::

Yer right! I've been carrying her for a couple of days and it's a load. I have to make a critique about it though. I would like the cut out on the top of the saw to be sharp so I can use it to strip wires. So I think I'll make it be.

Other thing I'd like is a cap lifter. I'll think about that one for a bit.
