Comment by Jan Carter on February 9, 2014 at 12:02: I am learning an appreciation for the push buttons and the gravity knives but I can tell you which one bit!

Comment by JJ on February 9, 2014 at 10:16: Cool li`l build there D ale . Jan once the switchblade bug bites ya ,,,, watch out LOL , Have you found what area of them you like modern / antique etc ? I`m into the older ones like this

In Memoriam Comment by D ale on February 9, 2014 at 8:59: Thanks, Clint .. I was happy with the way it turned out.

In Memoriam Comment by D ale on February 9, 2014 at 8:47: Jan .. I heartily recommend these. Have personally built multiple units of ea model. Given most away as gifts .. which I will not do if quality's not present. SS 2.0 & the SS 3.0

Mikov's can still be sourced as individual parts bagged off the production floor .. not as finished a kit as the Darrel Ralph kits listed above .. requiring a slightly higher level of experience .. results are a hardy reliable leverlock.

Nice job on the knife.
