Thanks Rick, happy with it so far
Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
D Rocket Design MaximX Flipper!
The scales are a red fiberglass high voltage electrical insulator material and the blade is VG10. I wish I knew more information about the scale material but it’s fairly unique. In a way it reminds me of old melamine resin kitchenware or some type of vintage urethane bowling ball. In short, it has a retro appearance that I’m a big fan of.
Overall first impressions are great though. It has good flipping action, feels solid in hand, and has a secure lockup. I’ll take more pictures in better lighting soon, I just wanted to get one up after unboxing it.

Reminds me a bit of those knives that Liquid Cobra was making and posting a while back!

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
Yeah I can sort of see the resemblance. Darriel Caston has a really eclectic and almost unconventional design style that I really love. As blasphemous as it sounds to the Spyderco fan in me, I can already see myself buying more knives from D Rocket Designs.

Too early to say for sure, but I think Magnacut and I are going to get along just fine

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
The new Schrade company released a few traditional knives that are made in the US. Quality is somewhere closer to Case than it is to GEC. I applaud Schrade for moving some production back home and supported their efforts with a purchase.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
These are surprisingly difficult to find. There are some in stock at Red Hill Cutlery. This one is the Schrade Old Timer USA Generational Bruin Lockback.

There are a few other places to get them that are a bit lower in price.
