Tactical folders got me into collecting, Spyderco at first, quickly followed by Benchmade and Cold Steel.

    Thanks Jerry! I do love that Northwoods. Its basically BlackJack Trailguide parts assembled by Northwoods, but cheaper than the BlackJack. And, of course, its way cheaper than the Randall that BlackJack copied.

    Hows things down in Champaign? Have been back down there since I graduated in '86! I understand it has changed a bit in 23 years!
