Reel Repair by Alan Tani

That Schrade is a good looking knife. Bargins are there. Just need to be diligent. Bill

If you haven't decided on a replacement knife yet, I found my Rick Hinderer designed Kershaw this morning in a drawer and thought about your post.  It has an assisted opening as well and feels more capable than the Leek I often carry.  If you don't mind used as mine was, this one looks pretty reasonable and is open to offers.


 

Today I received an identical replacement from Amazon,lost one ain't turned up yet.I am sure it will be in an unlikely place.
It's hard to beat a kershaw & the assisted opening seems better than the competition.I think its my all time fav.

My pretty Case Knives:

They sure are !!!

This is my most recent edc, it was 15.97 at Home Depot. 

Hows the spring action on that guy,maybe I wouldn't lose a yeller one looks stout !

I have a couple of those DeWalts.  They open easily with one hand.  No wobble or slop in the blade or action, solid.

That HD Tanto blade with the serrated portion also —- is a great knife for the shop, travel, emergency, on jobsites.

It will cut through carpet, strapping, a safety belt, or most other things.  Impressive tool.  Feels right in my hand.  Good grip, good control, lockback.

It will also break vehicle glass in an emergency.

Best, Fred

I got a wally special-Ozark trail in the golf cart,its got the half serrated blade.good for scaling or cutting fish heads off in a pinch.

"Schwartz saw a grizzly bear"

I had that DeWalt for a while. Might still have it. Did everything I asked it to do. In general it's a good knife. For the price it's outstanding.

Fred,
I used to have a boy scout knife with the spoon/fork,who knows where it is now, but  is that an official BSA knife?

I'm don't think so.  But it has more rust on it than a 200 year old anchor.  Looks to be pretty old.  Maybe 20's

Best, Fred

This is the one I remember.

I still have my set like that Steve in my tackle box.We had a BSA store in town that sold uniforms & accoutrements,is where I got mine in the 70s

That Kershaw Oso Sweet is indeed sweet! It's been my EDC for some time! I still carry my original Spyderco Worker that I got back in the early 80's too!
