New toy - not a levergun

Post by jhrosier »

I've wanted one of these for a long time. I always told myself that it was just too expensive to justify.

It is a Lone Wolf Paul knife

I watched the prices go past $100 to $200, then to $300 and more. :cry:

Today, I decided that I deserve it and bid just over $150 on ebay.....and got it while the bid snipers were napping! :D

I've carried a pocket knife every day for more than fifty years,, but never one this nice.

Nice looking knife. I did the same thing after carrying a Buck 110 for years. I finally bought a Puma lock blade and love it. It seems much lighterand slimmer than the Buck.

Rusty,

I had a Buck 110 that I won at a turkey shoot. It was way too big and heavy for my purposes so I got rid of it, still like new. I did keep the leather belt pouch as it is very handy to carry an extra magazine for my 1911 without attracting too much attention.

Yep, the best belt pouch I ever had was one that I got from Sullivan's holster shop in Tampa, Fl. It was a .45 mag pouch and fit the Buck better than the factory pouch did.

JhRosier, That is a nice looking knife...
Probably worth 10 of mine...
Problem is that if a feller (me) puts a real good knife in the pocket, some where along the way it will get lost... be it in the barn, haymow, field, pasture or went out a hole in the pocket from wear.
Now I carry a nice knife when I leave the farm, but I carry a cheap knife that I think might hold up. Even if its foriegn made. :(
This one, the grips have have already left... Something about using it in solvents and oil does not help glue stay attached... Oh well Now its thinner in the pocket. :) .

Very nice.

I have a Kershaw Ken Onion that I've carried for the last 10 years or so - but it's in bad need of a professional sharpening. I've been using the little "crossed stick" ceramic sharpener but that's not doing the trick - too many boxes and such I guess. I don't know how people get by without having a pocket knife...

I thought about these things and decided that I won't let the fear of such disappointments rob me of the satisfaction of owning something nice. I lost a treasured pocket knife when I was ten years old, but never since. If it is lost or ruined or stolen, I will still have enjoyed it in the meantime.

At threescore and four, I find my values and priorities changing in interesting and unexpected ways.

Snap-On folding box knife for me for 75% of my pocket knife needs --- it gets dull, i just replace the blade :D

use a Buck for the rest ----- but JR, yours is much much prettier , looks slimmer too -- good stuff

That's a nice looking knife for sure, but I'd be afraid to carry it for fear of losing it!
