Hey Sal maybe that should be a slogan for advertisement something like

Spydercos Byrd Knives

"Gotta get a Gooney" Birds not invited.

So I finally had time to disassemble the Gooney. It most definitely has full nested steel liners and phosphor-bronze washers

That's disappointing after it was advertised as being linerless. I've almost pulled the trigger on a Gooney a few times, and now I'm glad I didn't.

And I’ve seen some serrated versions around supposedly available as well.
Got one incoming, Fingers Crossed…
That’s gonna be a real ripper with serrations.
Thanks again Sal for the concept.

It's just one guys opinion, but I luv full steel or titanium liners in folders. Nested liners are OK, they don't bug me.

I like the heft and strength of a folder with full liners.
