    Slipjoint advice

    Thanks, it is a sickness. Here is another one that I didn't have when that groupshot was taken. It's a Queen "Classics" Brown Jigged Bone. Only 14 were made, and I have been told they may be the rarest MM yet. I agree, beyond the normal leather use, I find the awl on my Victorinox...
