This is a custom slip joint made by Bobby Toole. The model is a Native with antique micarta scales. You can find Bobby Toole on FB and Instagram or look for his stuff for sale on Blade Forums or FB knife groups.

Chris Reeve Professional Soldier USN Limited Edition :





Designed by William HArsey, the Professional Soldier had a 3.5" .160 thick S35VN in Gunkote. I remember seeing these at The Gathering in 2011 but didn't grab one. The USN forum is about to undergo a major transformation and change of platform and this came up in a fundraiser auction to help with the transition and I couldn't resist. Interestingly (to me), while the knife is a special edition with the USN logo cut into the handle, the sheath is a production version molded to the form of the production Professional Soldier.

It's a very handy size minimalist blade made with top shelf steel. It's on the larger size for a true neck knife, but is an interesting balance of something that could be used hard, but small enough to easily carry.

I hadn't had a CRKT for a long time, but I think that was the first fixed blade I really liked a Sawtooth 2000 or some similar model from Big5.

I just got their new slipjoint and it is a winner. $25-$35 1.87 ounces, great walk and talk.

Cold Steel AD10, designed by Andrew Demko. Got a good deal on it during a sale online. It's big but not overly big. Won't be an ECD but more a camping blade.

AD10 and 4-Max/4-Max Scout are probably the closest thing to a folding fixed blade you will get. I don't know if his new locks are stronger than a TRI-AD, but I beat the hell out of the 4-Max Scout (with a dead blow hammer and a wood baton) and it got a tiny bit loose. May be able to just tighten the pivot to get rid of the minute side to side play, but no other folder could have handled that. Previous choice would have been a Contego 810 in M4, but the Demko design is a lot tougher IMHO. It is not just the TRI-AD lock either. You could not torture a Talwar or many other TRI-ADS like you can the AD10 and clones.

Well...not a recent purchase, but I found this stuck in a Beer Stein on a shelf in my old bedroom at my moms house.

I moved out in the mid 1980s and the knife dates as a 1981
