I would politely disagree that the LB Hawkbill could be in any way inferior.

Happy Birthday!

In my mind’s eye I can just see Jim pulling out a Province in a restaurant....

I wonder whether they will ban phosphor bronze washers.... the risk to anyone disassembling their knife must be considerable.

I’m in the Big Hand Gang, too, which as an aside is why long handle to blade ratio smaller knives like the N5 and Brouwer work well for me. Legality is an issue I don’t like to talk about ...

That’s nuts. Absolutely ridiculous.

N5 G10 for me. I much, much prefer the liner less version over both the lined and frn ones.

I picked up an M4 version recently and it’s excellent, choil and all (sorry, Doc!).

I’m a surveyor (of usually old buildings) so my flashlight gets used waaaaaay more than my knife. Other than technical equipment, my county-com tool steel widgy pry-bar gets used next most, but I can’t make myself buy (to use and trash) an expensive Lynch one, regardless of how pretty they are.

Absolutely! I don’t know about anyone else, but I will balk at spending 00’s on tools I regularly use, but not on knives I rarely use. Here’s another question .... what cost more?

Congratulations, David!

Well deserved for all your contributions here, I reckon.

Who’s got the Elmax BB Exclusive? Definitely one that got away for me.

I let mine go and regretted it ever since

I have the Elmax Squeak, and was on a slimming down phase. I know, I know....

Diamond burrs for the Dremel are cheap as chips on EBay, probably ideal for experimentation.
