All About Pocket Knives

Check out the size difference between the 3 3/4 inch Mini-Lockback and the 4 1/4 inch Missouri Trader; 1/2 inch is quite a size difference! Whaddya think guys?

Thanks for showing Barry, I was wondering what side by side would look like.

A little stouter than the 72, but not 23 size....looks like I'll be trying some more out...

Looks good Barry!! Hows the lock up?

I've only looked at a couple Earl, but they were like the 72's in that one was tight and the other had a tiny amount of movement, but hardly any really. I've seen the same with the S&M mountain man lockback which seems to be the grandaddy of this pattern.

Thanks Bill H.!!! My appologies for the crappy photo.

Thanks Barry

All of the 42 Traders I've looked at thus far have been very tightly constructed; any tighter and they'd be difficult to unlock. I think GEC hit a homer with the new, slightly larger lockback!

I think I'll take this'un deer huntin' this fall!

Nice one Barry,good color....and it runs up to bolster

How about this beauty????Check out my post in the advertisement forum

SWEET!!!!! I really like that one!!!!

Congrats to Big Monk; he is the new owner of that beautiful 42L!

Well I'm in love again, this 42 is my kind of knife.....

Thanks' GEC for naming this one after Missouri.....

Monk that is sweet... ...and as usual you beat me to the draw... , but I have one comming so all is good...

I would like to know how they chose the name, if I'm ever in Titusville I'll stop and ask them....

I've been waiting on a lockback Pioneer for a while. This is certainly a step in the right direction! Great knives fellas.

Big Monk,

That one is communicating with me..... Awesome example there Oh Yeah BH

Monk......


Beautiful stag on the LB...............

Nice one's Bob & Monk

The Bone is ""REALLY NICE"" on this one__ #421112LB,Copperhead Jig Bone______""Go Figger' We have a new ""JIGGER"" __ and he's doing some outstanding work

I agree with you Monk, the color and jig are really improving.....

Well I added a few more 42's...I really like lockback's... ...and I see this getting out of control...

As soon as they put a Wharncliffe blade in 'em...

What, Bob? No natural stag???

Are these new 42 lockers tight, or do they suffer a bit of blade play like some of the 72s?

Thanks' guys...it's a work in progess. Jerry that would be a big wharnie blade...who knows it could happen.

Barry I'm looking at one...seems I've spent my allowance for this week...

Bass all of these have a tight lock up no play at all...I am well pleased with them.....
