Very nice! I'm a Spyderco hound and really only carry Spydercos. I'm sure you understand why now.
I do the same with the ones with a back lock. I hold it almost like I would for use, but depress the lock and fling it forward. It looks like its going to close on my pointer finger, but always gets stopped by that curved section under the blade. Be careful though as i'm not sure if you remember, but I got bit pretty bad from my Pacific Salt. Still have a huge scar and finally got feeling back in my finger after a year or so. Ill try and dig up a picture to warn you.

I think its there instead of a nail nick so you can open it two handed with gloves on. Sent from a device made from star dust using tapatalk

Are those pipe tools marked "Richards" or "Rodgers", guys? Rodgers I see all the time, and have owned several. Never seen a Richards. My current pipe knife/tool is a Kershaw. Go figure.......
Freaver, Like the look of the 'big one'

Well, I can't lurk through so much of this thread, without posting a pic myself, even though my "collection" is gonna look like a drop in the sea, compared to some of those I've seen here...The small one, is being carried everyday, together with the ID-card it's hooked to - it's inconspicious, easy access, with a little training it can be opened one-handed and it's a helluva lot better at opening boxes and plastic packing than cheap utility blades.The "big one" (blade is only 7 cm/2,7 inches) always follows me to work in my backpack, but only get time in my pocket when I know I'm going to need a reliable blade, that can take a beating and won't close on me. And don't even begin to ask what makes they are; can't even remember where I got the small one and the "big one" is from a sporting-store, bought for about 175 dkk/32 usd. Nonetheless, the only thing about the knife that ever failed me, is the rubber pads on the side, that needs to be glued back in, from time to time.EDIT: Sized the picture down, so it's actually viewable.
