Thanks!
I just had to check it out at Hennies, and at those prices, I had to get one as well. :D

Hopefully the fit and finish on this one will be good. I have unfortunately gotten a couple of RRs with bladeplay or one of the blades scraping against the liner when closing, dulling the edge, in the last year or so.

So far I'm more than impressed with this knife,a fee things though ,first there is a slight gap between the backsprings,No biggy but I'm a bit OCD with these things  :D there isn't a liner between the 2 backsprings so makes cleaning inside much easier,the other was the 440 laser engraved on the main blade £ but this info was posted on the Show me your RR post, :salute:

It is surprising to see the difference in thickness.
I think I would prefer the high carbon for the thickness.

For some reason I thought the Canoe patterns were on a single backspring ?

I prefer the chunky feel of the High carbon Canoe but the Rams horn model is a nice lighter slimmer option  :tu:

You get variations, just like with all patterns.  Any pattern with opposite side blades can be made with a single or twin springs.

Just because they have a single spring it does not mean that they will be thin, though this is usually the case.
