Er, forgive my ignorance, but surely camouflaging a knife increases the risk of losing it ? Assuming it gets used outdoors of course.
Yeah, but it also means the dear wont see as you creep up to its sentry post!
You'll probably think i'm mad but i've still got my old oil the joints ( we used to call em oily joints) from 1984, cracking old knife, still in great nick.
they are badass though, I have one too and I have it in my waist coat pocket at all times!
mine is a 1953! and still has the strongest lock up of any slippy in my possesion
it was an incredibley generous gift from a member here who felt it wasn't seeing enough action! I love it, great knife with loads of history behind it.

well in theory i guess it does. i havnt managed to loose this one yet though and i like the coating as it helps look after the blade. it also looks pretty funky
My old rescaled SAK goes everywhere with me.

It's very handy and comfortable to use.

have you been able to find one in the UK - most get taken down when spotted - there was a put it up on ebay.com rather than ebay.co.uk trick but I think they got wise to it
how about a wanted on BB or even a US forum
not owned a Marbels yet but I've been informed in the past they are made in the same factory, F&F is usually pretty good and the heat treatment which was always the biggest issue early on seems to be spot on now
The bottom one is identical to my oily jointsMine is a plain British Army clasp knife. Been all over the globe with me.. Simple tough tool. Like this except mine doesn't have the lettering, just a crowsfoot:
In fact this is identical
I set my self a challenge, in January, to use only this for a year, still not cracked yet.
It's made me think about how I do different tasks about camp.

Been wathing this thread, fascinated by all the knives and the age of some of them.
Question: several people have told me, in the recent past, that folding knives aren't safe, exhibiting scars to prove it. I've not used one since I was a teenager (pre-Ark days) and so don't really remember what it was like using it. Everyone had one in those days - well, not "well brought up young ladies" but I was never one of them! - so I never thought about it. Obviously you all find them very useful so I'm thinking about getting one next year ... are some knives safer to use than others or is it all about using them correctly (as per all knives)?
