I would restore that in a heartbeat! If you could find someone (hint: to you-know-who). This would be an excellent project for our Master Cutler.

I know that he has been awfully busy, but you can always ask.

I only wish the handle wasn't so chunky. The Paragon clone was so much more streamlined with the same exact mechanics. I really wanted to replace its blade with the one out of this, but it just wasn't going to happen. That's the Chinese knives for you, they pump them out like water and sell them as...

I think that they're a great knife. Simple to operate and the design is robust. (Simple is often better).

We could all call on Biden's face, whip up some drop-cookie dough, and make some "butt cookies"!

How much in cash? (Including shipping, of course).

Yeah, I probably could've gotten that blade for five or ten bucks. Shit. Just saw a yellow one sold on aapk for $175. *Edit: I guess it's called a "bowtie". There's another one for sale there for the same price. The steel of the period was either 440A or 1055 Carbon Steel. I would like to see a nic...

They were made by Colonial and were made of fairly decent steel (not great, but decent). If Colonial were to make these again, they would make a LOT of money!

I would like to see someone like Colonial revive the Shur-Snap line with modern steel(s) and handle materials. D2 steel or ATS-34 would work particularly well for this application. Were it as robust as a Case Peanut knife, they could rake in a whole $#it-pot full of money selling these in the "free"...

The more I carry this knife, the more I enjoy it! The steel in this knife holds an edge like a dope fiend holds a habit. The fact that it isn't a "stiletto" seems to comfort the "sheeple" (read: non-knife crowd). I now have this thing "razor-sharp" and use it at every turn because it is so convenien...

Bill:

How do you feel about S35VN steel? If have read that it is tougher than S30V (due to the added Niobium of course).

Would you please provide your opinion on the steel in a knife that is to be carried and used?

With consummate respect.

Thank you, Jules. This is a truly useful knife. The S35VN steel is great, and the anodized coating adds an extra layer of protection. (I am carrying it now). What a comforting feeling to know that the blade was manufactured in Tualatin, OR. (15.7 miles from where I sit as I write this). Good stuff, ...

I recommend one of these for every pocket! These are nice knives and take a great edge. Many automatics are big and bulky, but this isn't. The clip point is suitable for a large number of tasks and can be called upon for lots of hard work. (This is NOT a "safe queen"). Buy the darned thing and put i...

I wish that I had the old British Commando (Sykes-Fairbairn) knife that Dad gave me 61 years ago. (It looks like the one on the left, but anodized black). That was a MEAN dagger!

A sheathed dagger may be just fine, but the false edge on a folder shouldn't be sharpened due to the possible injury that could be incurred.
