Would you carry a Solo?

[Neil]

Single blade so makes a good food knife but not enough tools for my liking.  Also it has way too much snap; anything that sends a jolt htrough your nail and up your arm as it clicks into place is too highly sprung for my liking

After that I best make things up by providing pics ..

If I had a 108mm solo I would carry one.  Seems like a good lightweight edc for when I want a knife, but not want to carry a tac folder around.

i carried a 108 solo for a long time ... along with my pbj spirit in order to have a decent blade. sometimes as a solo + to add the corkscrew.
as dressknife i always carry a alox bantam with my name engraved. just great.

You're a man of taste, HighlandPark - I have a alox Bantam II and it's a lovely little thing

@ cliosguy:  *ouch* ... and you dont think it has something to do with "mausering" your blade?

mausering.....me dont understand

[jim guy]

Id carry one, any one care to send me one?LOL

[HighlandPark]

i only know that blade shape from the second mauser blade.
all my 108 solos have a blade like on neils pic.
spork once posted a thread over on sosak where he showed how to mod a "poor man's mauser" by grinding the second blade (yours) from one like in neils pic.
i thought you modded it.

I' not sure he modded them though, I thought it was some unusal stock he found.

i think that too, is way more easy that way

Certainly a lot less work on his part.
