Generally, I buy a couple of knives a month —
8 months go, I lost a little Case Camo Lockback out in the Mojave Desert when camping.
Looked everywhere — so, hopefully someone else is enjoying it.
Decided to just order another — since these are nearly bullet-proof.
Zytel scales, SS, lockback, 3", Case XX, Made in the USA, Lifetime Guarantee, only weighs 7/10's of an ounce, spear point.
Ordered from Blade HQ — $17.99 + tax + $2.99 shipping.
I like lockbacks because they won't fold up on you when using them.
This is a good value.

Thanks Fred, I just ordered one. $16.99 + $1.23 tax, free shipping. Dominick
Should have bought the safety orange one. Easier to find in the desert ... ;-)
Cool

Actually, I did have a quality metal detector (Garrett) on board — but did not realize the knife was missing until a couple of weeks later.
Then after 3 or 4 months of looking everywhere in the truck, trailer, clothing, gear boxes — finally realized it was not going to show up without ordering another one.

Spent 7 hours in the sun today, drinking water, weed-eating, and repairing fences —- came in at 3:45. It was 101 degrees.
Found the little Case SS Lockback Knife I lost a couple of years ago!
Had replaced it —- now I have (2). These are great little knives.
Heat doesn't really bother me, like some folks are concerned about nowadays. Like Alan, I grew up in the Central Valley of California where the temperatures are generally over 100 from late May through late September.
Had a nice cool 45 minute bath —- Sue has a roast in the oven.
I will hit it again tomorrow —- start at 6:30 and work until finished —- Target "Done Time" will be 12 noon.
Best, Fred
Gotta love finding something you thought lost forever. Bill
Isn't it nice when they come home?
I lost mine some time ago and miss it. However SOMEONE has given me some other knives that I use daily. Thank you SOMEONE.
You can never have to many little lockbacks. I'd put one in a travel bag that goes with you but not as a carry on and then you know it is there.
