Uhmmm ... I guess you pull the ring, count to 3 and throw the knife? ...

Haha!! No sir!! You open it by the nail nick. It's the closing portion where you pull the ring which unlocks the pin by pulling the back strap up, which allows you to close the knife.

Ahhh ... Now I see! ... A very interesting piece,

al mar today.

Good choices! I also like the SAK that didn't get carried; sort of a harder one to find.

35 1/2 and a CLA

The 35 1/2 is really sweet!

Those are indeed smooth Alox. Smooth Alox seems to be the type most often used on narrow 84mm SAKs, such as Tom's and mine below.

Thank you much!

Nice ones gard, GSP, Dan and David.

TPK, Ivoryman, thank you. We're on opposite schedules now so never have days off together, when we get a moment we have to grab it quickly. It was a beautiful evening and nothing beats hot food and drinks in cold windy conditions.
Some design work today. For my upcoming birthday my sisters are getting me a carbide file guide for doing stick tangs so first design will be a sgian dubh.

OSCAR, THE KNIFE you asked about is from Thailand.

I think the figure in the wood of this Bulldog is very fine.

I agree. Very nice!

Thank you for your comment David. Having far more experienced members confirm my judgement is highly encouraging.

Thanks to all for the kind words, and fantastic carries from Garry and David!
