Re: reasons to like the compession lock:

Didn't know it was assisted, started slowly thumbing it open and pow, thumbnail to the bone. Bled all over the counter at the retail shop...and the knife. This is why I don't like assisted ...

Cricket - due for an upgrade?

I feel like the cricket has been around forever in it's current form, but rarely gets talked about anymore, BUT hasn't been discontinued yet, so it must be doing something right. Kinda want one (tiny hawkbillish blade) but dread sharpening it (okay that's a personal problem) How would you "upgr...

Re: Cost of Sage 5 LW

Other than the Para 3 lw, the Sage lw HAS liners "that go all the way round the handle". At least that's roughly what Eric said in some interview. Might add costs, don't know... Given the highly unusual internal workings of the Para 3 LW, I am sure the R&D costs are higher on that mod...
