The lock is "meh"; it is however a nice garden harvest knife. It will also scare the living s*&t out of anybody who walks up behind you unexpectedly - it looks wicked, but is not strongly built enough for a fighting knife. And it'll rust. Damn you, Garet Wade.mikelaforgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116638991696774832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-72252083329381252382011-09-26T11:17:07.497-04:002011-09-26T11:17:07.497-04:00When I first saw your photo my first thought was t...When I first saw your photo my first thought was that you carried a douk-douk; most people haven't the slightest idea what they are.

(...The <a href="http://www.garrettwade.com/brass-cased-knife/p/02E05.01/" rel="nofollow">one I carry</a> was purchased from Garret Wade. (Warning, you will probably spend money if you look around the website!) The blade holds a keen edge but don't use it to pry with -- this one has had the pointy end reground. It's hard steel laminted to softer steel. Opens one-handed. There is no spring -- in use, you hold it open (if needed) with thumb pressure on the little tab. I like it.<br /><br /> Lee Valley offers <a href="http://www.leevalley.com/US/wood/page.aspx?p=51165&cat=1,51222&ap=1" rel="nofollow">a similar knife</a> with a slightly larger blade for a little less. (This is another site I dare you wander around without at least wanting to buy something).<br /><br /> Both companies have a good reputation for quality.<br /><br /> GW also sells a "douk-douk" knife that I'd like a closer look at.Roberta Xnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-20938735549713618172011-09-25T19:55:00.047-04:002011-09-25T19:55:00.047-04:00Ditto Carteach-O.Ditto Carteach-O.Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778737553770514684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-52576414511155443672011-09-25T19:51:01.234-04:002011-09-25T19:51:01.234-04:00I wish to know more about the carpenters knife, pl...I wish to know more about the carpenters knife, please.Carteachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08468700184940877315noreply@blogger.com
