I think that is a very good looking knife, Paul.

Great knife, QS!

A couple of little beauties there, RR!

How you like it? Any wobble when open? Just got an ACK OTF and it wobbles big time. Disappointing. Hope yours is tight.

Absolutely ZERO wobbling. It couldn’t be any tighter when opened. Very smooth action as well. Couldn’t be more pleased.

I must have bought the wrong brand. Stay away from AKC F-16. All hype and wobble. NO tight precision craftsmanship at all. What brand is yours?

I recently spoke with someone who had just bought an AKC F-16, Iman, and they had the exact same complaint.
They said everything was loose and sloppy with zero precision on the entire knife.
So it's not just you, it's obviously a poorly made knife.

I think someone posted recently that their customer service is terrible too.

Sweet trio, is that a Schrade?



Going with a 6292 USA era today.

No it's an Ulster. Basically a Schrade 856.

Nice Case!

Lately I've been carrying my purple barn board jig bone Barlow.

to AAPK if I haven't said so already. We like knife pictures.

Great 92
Harvested with a 125OT

redrider, your Case is an eye catcher. Very nice.

This CS, while not a thing of beauty, is rugged, sharp, and heavy. Did I mention it is heavy? When some extra heavy cutting is needed, perhaps on extra thick cardboard or rope for example, this knife will get ur done.

Thanks for the 6292 comment.


I have a Cold Steel AD-10 that was recommended to me, it's pretty heavy as well, built like a tank.

Beautiful 6292 Case. One of my favorite Case pattern.

Ahhhh, two witnesses to the problem. Agreed Marco. Well I guess I was fooled by the Italian made part of it. Thought that meant something since I have a few knives from Italy that are slip joints and well made, tight, smooth. But this one's price, I believe $59 tells you about all you need to know about what kind of quality there is in it. Or lack there of. I don't mind a bit of wobble either. As long as it's close to tight I'm able to deal with it and accept that. But this one I have is so loose it's embarrassing and if you wanted to get in a tight spot or narrow spot and needed precision you won't get it with the F-16. Moves like about a quarter of an inch at the tip when deployed. Oh well, you get what you pay for I think in OTF autos. I would tell anyone who's interested to spend your money elsewhere. I would never buy another and am not happy and have a big load of buyers remorse on that one. FWIW.

This KA-BAR has been seeing a lot of pocket time lately. Fits nicely in the breast pocket of my bibs.
And yes, most people think it's an adjustable wrench.

Gorgeous. Some niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice red bone there, excellent example. Blows that 1980 edition away.


Couple Northfields, 92 and 62, both goldenrod camel bone.

Very admirable knives, nice choices that made for some great photos!

Iman, that is some great looking camel bone. Very fine.

Garddogg, get that deer a sheath for that knife. It's going to hurt itself without one!
