Its weird how its close to the holy grail but I almost never carry it. You have done some cool mods here though, good work. The file in the corkscrew area is a good move, I have modded a 58mm file to fit there on one of my most carried mods.

I had plenty of problems to chew on today, but none of them could be solved by the Sportsman - it was all code! (C# and JavaScript for anyone interested) IMG_1623.jpg (Filesize: 92.61 KB) 7

My third and final companion carry for the month, a Case Russlock. I think these are both underrated and kind of niche. On the one hand, it's a great knife, and it's hard to get OHO in a trad folder. On the other hand, how many people want a small, OHO trad folder? It takes a little practice, but the little razor lever is actually a great action, I think I like how it feels better than most flippers. Compared to the other knives I carried this month, I actually used this one several times. OHO vs "double" open on the Rebar is a big difference. 8

I should have said, "Stuntzombie, didn't you have some LL Bean , etc." Didn't mean to be more confusing than usual. I always liked the 84/85mm platform. I'll go sit in the corner and put my paper cone hat back on. Best wishes. G

Swiss Army Knights Forum / Re: Tell me how your Victorinox 3 layer is better than my Wenger Swiss Sportsman« Last post by pa_strunk on Today at 03:21:27 AM »I actually had three of those Swiss Sportsman's at one time. Part of me regrets letting them go because they carried so much better than a 3 layer model in 91mm. The Wenger models actually felt more solid to me compared to Victorinox. I do think the Vic scissors have superior cutting ability, though I like that the Wenger version has an integral spring. Agree on scissors, cutting ability is better and springs are not that hard to replace. |
