MTech. Never cease to amaze me jerry!!

It's a large knife, John, 5 inches closed. I have to say, it's very pretty and well put together for a knife in that price range. I'm very satisfied with it.

Nope Floyd, not disappointed in the least.

Dang Glenn, are you trying to turn me totally green with envy?
You've been scoring some amazing Wharnies lately that have me drooling all over my keyboard. Wish I knew where you're finding all these great knives.
What's the handle material on this Rhidian?

Thanks! It's white G10

I've never been a fan of wirejacks; always thought they looked too insubstantial. However, I am a minimalist at heart; I love the plain, simple, unembellished, unadorned, basic, elemental folders. So when I found this interesting mashup of an old Geo. Wostenholm wire frame and a Queen DFC Carbon Wharncliffe blade, I thought I'd give it a try. I've been coon-fingering it ever since...can hardly put it down.


No idea if this is typical fit for wirejacks, but it's really the only "flaw" I can find with this knife:

Just received a very nice 5 1/4" Queen Coke Bottle. Half stops, excellent bone, well sharpened. I have an impression that most brands give their Coke Bottles extra sharpening attention. I may be mistaken but so it seems to me. This was made in 2012.

Thank you edge.

You can't have too many 194OT's.
Actually this one is a SC503, same knife with different handles.

Awesome find ~Q~! I, like you have never been a fan of these knives and for the exact same reason as you, there just doesn't seem like there's a lot of knife to hold on to, plus prior to viewing yours the only models I've seen are beat-up and not very attractive to look at. But to see a copy that's still in great shape with a nice shiny Wharncliffe blade such as yours, certainly changes my opinion. I'll still not likely purchase one, but viewing them in the future will be a whole new proposition. Had you not pointed out the looser tolerance I doubt me or many others would have ever noticed it. I love it when you receive a new knife that surpasses your expectations and you just can't put it down, it just keeps getting more and more comfortable to hold! Enjoy!

Lovely Garry! I love coke-bottles and matching that with those dark bone covers and shield just make it stunning! And it's BIG too! For a knife that's 10 years old it's in exceptional condition! Very nice, enjoy!

Beautiful Jamie! It fits right in with all it's counterparts! I wish I could say I was visiting my mailbox, but alas, no such luck! From past experience I'd say it's a lost cause at this point, but ya never know, I might just get an unexpected surprise one morning, although I'm not holding my breath, well, not any longer anyway! LOL!

Besides pike fishing and delivering me a knife there's another reason for you to come up here for a visit, to marry Shania Twain!

Aye I knew you would get a rise from me mentioning a Canadian….. sorry about customs, I have not got any updates from the postal service.

No, don't feel badly man, you bent over backwards to make it happen, it's always risky and I knew that. I should not have been afraid that I wouldn't be able to reassemble the knife and got you to send 2 packages, but I didn't and the outcome really doesn't surprise me. Like I said, it could show up yet but I'm not holding my breath. Perhaps you're game to try again when I can afford it but this time send 2 packages?

A couple new Rough Ryders showed up today.
