Lil' Temperance with a hawkbill blade in 3V?

Dang. Picked up some knowledge and a new expression today. Great post!

@Wartstein , good to see you back.

I'd go backlock. The market is flooded with crossbar style locks. And they use too many fasteners, IMO.

Thanks for the photo and link.

Hmm. Anyone have a picture of the N5 Crucarta disassembled? Curiosity has been piqued!

But my perception is that China as a whole isn't playing fair. China floods the US market with goods ...

I'm so glad they are making the Bodacious with peel-ply scales. I like the texture, they don't show wear as easily, and they should be a little wider.

He and Paul Newman were quite the pair. I most enjoy RR in the movie, The Sting. RIP

For Schempp Bowie fans, there's one on the Bay for $200 or best offer. Good price if you're looking for this particular model.
