I really like it. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the reply, Bill! That’s very helpful info.

I have a medium size Bargeon (9" counting the bail) that arrived with a broken spring. I was hoping I could get a sense of what it would cost to get it fixed. I have the option to return, but I got an okay price because the blade is a bit scratched (and I'm already a bit attached), so I can't help b...

Really cool, portlandmike! I dig ’em! I’ve never seen the lockbacks before and would love to know more. What are they, if you don’t mind me asking?

Wow, that’s cool looking. It’s neat to see and to know it’s out there. I’d sure like to know more about it. Thanks for posting!

If you can find one made by Straydog you should get it if you're looking for one. He does some really nice work! Thank you, Sammy the Blade! The two I saw of his were cool modern twists on the original design while I'm looking for something more traditional. If I can find one by him made more like ...

I see. Someone somewhere is selling "AGA Campolin" ring-pull, automatics that are patterned after the old "Hecho In Mexico" picklocks that were somewhat blocky and seems to have the constitution of a 1946, Dodge Flathead in-line six engine. While appearing a bit crude, they were well sorted out, re...

Three years after The Outsiders sparked my fascination with switchblades, 1986’s The Hitcher , starring Rutger Hauer and The Outsiders ’ C. Thomas Howell, mesmerized me with this Super-Automatic. It was featured pretty prominently in the film. Movie magic (or my imagination) made it seem like a nice...
