RDN ... I like the Case and the Big Marbles!

This one came yesterday:
Rigid RG14 ... 5" Closed ... 8 5/8" OAL ... Made in Japan
This knife features a unique liner lock. By sliding the thumb tab on the bolster up, as pictured, the liner lock will be free to move. Next, you depress the shield inward, which moves the liner over to disengage the blade. If the bolster tab is in the down position, the liner is locked, for safety while using. The shield will not depress. These and the RG15 model were also made with "Operation Desert Storm" on the blade, and were serial numbered.

Impressive knife Tony

Look what showed up in my mail box today. Wahoo!! That's not a super model showing it off, that's me. The 20 year anniversary shirts are available in the AAPK store. Thanks Bryan.

Looks like you were a super model back in the day to me doglegg. Straight out.


Couple just in from Corn Creek Rose Craft man Tony. Thank you bud, really impressed. The blue Tdrop spear, and Rosewood French Broad are the new ones, and pretty smooth operators. Fit and finish top notch, centered, sweeeeeeeeet buttery action, walk and talk, juicy, delicious bones, and grainy wood. A+ everything. Definitely worth the price and a clam happy customer. Thanks again Tony. just threw in the others for scale and family group shot.

That's yet another very solid looking knife, Tony, I admire your taste.
I have a somewhat similar big Rigid linerlock with a unique blade release system, you press in on the shield and that's how the liner is shifted for closing, it's different and pretty cool. I guess my model skips the tab-lock step and goes right to the depressing the shield. It doesn't even have the tab-lock feature.
Great new knife, buddy.

Most impressive grouping, I-man, your focus is to be admired and congratulated.

Looking good in that shirt Doglegg!

IvoryMan, I appreciate the comments, and glad you are pleased with the RCs.
All you guys know knives, and your honest opinions and feedback mean a lot to me.

Hey thanks bud, kind of you to say. But CCC should get most of the credit. I never knew of R Craft until he bombed me. And then he sold me a couple and so impressed me that I wanted another. Very well made knives and Tony bombs with excellent payloads. Great guy, great knives, great to learn about and now enjoy them because of him. And thanks for the nice words bud. I do appreciate it Marco.

That’s a beautiful knife Tony. My kind of knife. Now I will be watching for one myself.

Thanks Mark! I see the "Desert Storm" models on the bay, with a few there now. I had to pay a good price for this one, but I wanted the condition, unetched blade, box, etc., which seems to be harder to find. I will keep watch for another.

You will have to. Mine seems to run a little small so consider getting the next size up.

Old polish Gerlach in very good condition.

Very cool, I like the punch/awl. Would that be considered a harness jack knife?

As far as I know, these knives come to Bulgaria as part of locksmith tool sets. I guess the awl is for drawing on sheet metal and for cleaning chips from cut or drilled parts.

$20 survival set.

I scored this Schatt and Morgan gunstock from Mark at SSK. Nice thick stag scales. Thanks Mark!

been kickin around collecting some Marbles knives and was very fortunate to come across this very unique utility folder. It even has a scale on the main blade. How lucky can a guy be!!! To boot, I got it for nuthin!!

I've been battling with myself about purchasing this knife for a few months now, and just recently the good guys won the battle! It actually took the help of a good AAPK buddy to finally get this piece.

9" Stan Moizis linerlock auto with a 4mm S30V needle-point blade, 1/8" Titanium fileworked liners, 5-Rib carbon fiber covers, and exposed rocker Titanium firing button. Strong action via it's 4mm leaf-spring, followed by tight lock-up every time and zero play in all directions. A little up in price, but definitely worth it, to me anyway.

Stan makes some really cool knives you might wish to check out, if you an find any that is, they are very rare knives. He also designed the Boker "Dogleg" auto with it's unique opening system I posted previously, and he holds a patent for a Benchmade/Pardue design.

Awesome knives, Eustace, rdnzl, Rick, Rob and Mark!
