Had the flip and slide knives as a kid as well :cheers: Loved them but as you said they weren't very strong :ahhh The Christy is a great fit for me with the 3 different spots that it opens :like: I love the lightweight yet sturdy design and this will likely find a permanent spot in my EDC :salute:

Those Olfas also look awesome though :o :like: :like:
many different types of Christy knives, beware buddy!!   :salute:

 Nothing to beware :rofl: I am already hundreds of knives in with knife collecting and know the dangers :salute: well I guess I do :think: :D

I will stick with the more budget friendly Christy Knives until I order a new 1 or 2 directly from them :tu:

I've seen these over the years but never owned one. Never saw one for sale anywhere that I can remember.    :think:     Did a search and found the company and ordered one this morning. I love the history behind these knives. It'll be good for small survival kits also. After reading through this thread will be looking for older ones on the the bay. The hunt continues!      :ahhh      :D
What? Enablers! Are you serrrrious? Where? I dont see any.

https://www.amazon.com/Olfa-Craft-Kife-size-34B/dp/B000TGF9DI/ref=asc_df_B000TGF9DI/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167133658256&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11140792462056195960&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9019691&hvtargid=pla-305908215509&psc=1

Having received this item, it seems to be of good quality for the price paid.  However, the design isn't nearly as clever or convenient as the Christy.  The thumb stud must be loosened and then tightened in order to adjust the length of the blade exposed.  While this mechanism allows infinite adjustment of the amount of blade exposed, and holds the blade in position fairly securely when tightened down, opening the knife and or adjusting exposed blade length are two-handed operations, and not particularly quick.

Well after all this epic and auspicious orating and meandering, I'm pretty sure the site administrators are going to need to come up with a Christy award badge.

Congrats,  David :woohoo: They are so lightweight that you don't realize they are in your pocket until you need it :salute: It is a great package opener because you can set the depth of the blade  :like:

David, do an experiment.

Take the Christy, and drop it in your pocket while taking all other pocket knives our and stashing them. Try to go for a week with just the Christy in your pocket. Then, if you make it a week, do a second week. You may be surprised at how much the little sliding blade wonder will do in a normal urban/suburban life in the 21st century .

I do these experiments on a regular basis to keep a reality check. I'll go fir a week with just a classic, or a week with just a Leatherman squirt. Its amazing at what we don't really need, vs want.
Don't get too serious, just enough will do.

I wish some modder would figure out how to retrofit a Christy into 91mm scales. 
It would be handy to have a quick one hand sliding knife along with the multi-tools of the SAK.

I'm sure it can be done.....

Then it could be called a Swiss Chris.....
