Intriguing, huh!WIN_20230830_14_32_50_Pro.jpgWIN_20230830_14_32_33_Pro.jpgUp next is this 7 1/4" oal Fury lockback featuring a SS spear-point blade with n/n, brass bolsters liners and pins, lanyard hole, and some kind of dark wooden covers that have a faux abalone escutcheon on the mark side cover that I'm coming to believe is after-market and may attempt to remove!WIN_20231102_13_34_37_Pro.jpgWIN_20231102_13_34_59_Pro.jpgAnd lastly for today is this 8 1/2" oal unmarked linerlock with a SS 60% serrated spear-point blade with a stud, 1 steel liner, screw construction, and green plastic 5-hole covers! The nice flowing shape of this knife trumped the serrated blade and plastic covers for me, and oh yah, the $25. price too!

They are a Schrade 125OT

And a Solingen copper-plated hunting knife with a picture of a Boy Scout etched into the blade.

The store mostly had flipper-style knives, including a Benchmade. I just didn't know enough about them to spot the difference between real or fake, so I settled on what I liked instead.
I had a fun time shopping!

Very nice couple there. Beautiful fixed.



Picked up this CRKT Symetry for 19.99 plus tax and shipping, for a nephew. Must say I was very impresses with easy open and close. But nice tension keeping it open. Excellent workings, thin, smooth, fit and finish great, tight, well done. Nothing to disappoint so far. Would recommend it.

This is the only way I could make a correction to my post as it's been too long, but I just want to say that the covers on my Rough Rider R1708 are wooden and NOT aluminum!
Sorry for any confusion!

Matt mcAlevy made this from my design, kinda got the idea from the Schrade Sharpfinger .
61/2 OAL/23/4" blade. CPM154 steel, dyed stabilized hempwood with bone.

Pops62 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2023 8:12 pm Not really a new mail call but it is the first time I posted it. AG Russell One Hand with I think red bone handles. There was not a specific description of it when I purchased it. Very tight. One handed operation would need it broken in.

Nice score. Surprise addition is even better. Congrats. Been looking at those.

That's a good lookin' knife, Pops!
