Let's See Those 5 Inch Folding Hunters!

Tobias suggested that someone should start a discussion on 5 inch lockback hunters. Since no one else has, I will. But since I have two folding hunters and only one of them is a lockback, I will open it up to all 5 inch folding hunters.

Here is my first. It is a Rough Rider Once In A Blue Moon 5 inch lockback with one blade.

My other one is a Rough Rider Rifleman Series folding hunter. It is two blades and is not a lockback.

this one came in a camping~hunting set. gerber / usa ..which surprised me at the quality of this kit..very well built and feels awesome in hand. this was my first 5" hunter style with a center lock.

charles.. i have this one and the halloween one in the large version, and several of the smaller ones., but honestly, to me they seem { thin } to me. if that makes sense to you. i wouldnt pick them as a first choice for actual use. i hate to say that because i collect and own ALOT of case knives. their mako and similar versions feel much better for use to me. but.. that being said... as a collecter.. yes you need one ! lol ;-)) they are a well built knife CASE !!
