Just sent an email to Tim checking availability of the...Locksmith(Image removed from quote.)and the Tradesman(Image removed from quote.)Not sure which one I want..the Tradesman might be a little big for pocket carry. My OHT is fine and I think the added layer of the file on the Locksmith would hardly be noticed.Quick question; Is the main blade layer on the non OH knives thinner than the OH ones, or does it use the same basic locking mechanism?
Does the bottle opener on the Tradesman click at 45 degrees like on the OHT? I always liked that feature on my SAKs..
I like the forester and the Hunter ( RAF Issue one ) (Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)Dunc
Here's a cool video review of the Tradesman;After seeing it though I realize it might be too big to pocket carry, so I'm back on the lookout for a Locksmith I like the end mounted Phillips of the Tradesman, but don't really need the pliers, so it wasn't worth the extra layer IMO. I think Spoonrobot had/has/carries a Locksmith...if you're out there Spoon what do you think of it for EDC?
It killed me when he snapped the blade shut...I used to do that but realized it made a tiny dent in my blade!

According to the SAK selector it's 30mm.Paired up with a Mini-Tool;you'd have a handy combo
According to the SAK Selector...One Hand TrekkerThickness: 18 mm LocksmithThickness: 30 mm Something is wrong...adding a file doesn't add 12mm
I don't doubt you it's just the the models and the sizes I'm finding online don't jive... I'll find out soon enough; I've got a Locksmith on the way...If the OHT is 18mm and the Tradesman is 24mm...I'll take a wild guess and say the Locksmith is 20-21mm (?)
Just ordered an OHT -but I forgot to specify Plain or Serrated Edge, so there is still time to change my mind!What should I do?
I think you as a connoisseur of fine stuff should go for the plain edge, wouldn't want those horrible looking serrations messing up the beautiful lines of the blade now would you?

All this Hunter talk compelled me to get one!
