Love the look of that snakewood
I love my Snakewood #62, that just came in. Congress style knives are not the best folders for one arm me. My Boker Congress knives love to bite my four fingers and thumb. I did buy the #62 blue camel and the #62 desert ironwood also. I canceled my other #62 pre-orders. The #23 Jumbo Trappers will be my favorite GEC knives. I am really counting on those. I have the two Club knives on pre-order (paid) ! Frank's will have a SFO #23 knife with the old man shield. Mike Latham talked about the club knives were being produced in two blades and the other #23s will be single blade liner-lock knives. One blade , Two blades , slip-joint , lock-back , liner-lock , automatic(doubt) , or bull-lock , I am down for #23s. I hear the old ones are nail breaking gator snappers. I can use my feet and a CASE XX blade pick to open those. In the last year , Bill Howard has been making big knives that open a little easier. I am down with a lighter pull. I will buy them regardless and be thankful.
Now DLT Trading is out of the #62 snakewood and blue camel bone. They still have the desert ironwood and the maroon micarta. As of 23:45 CST, 2/11/2020.
Kenneth, I'm kind of partial to the snake wood handles, so if I spring for another #62, that will be it for me. Great idea on the heavy lube.
Yes sir , that is a wonderful knife. Do you plan to buy any other #62 on this run? I have a banana #62 and the two carver #62 pre-order coming up on this #62 run. I am keeping my eye out for the DLT SFO #62s coming up. DLT has some "HEAVY" lube that I will add to my purchase. Better than paying shipping.
