New toy - not a levergun

[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.

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

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

Sometimes ya gotta just go for it, very nice and grats.

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.

Very nice, congrats!

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

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!

Wow, that is a sharp looking knife (no pun intended)!

you can't have too many knives.
