Ok, that's very nice, I like the screwdriver, and especially the bottle opener, that I would use everyday!

Now what would a guy charge for one of those...

thanks for the kind words. it is a handful/chunky knife but meant to be so with a full handle. i wanted the closest thing to my full size bushcraft knife that could be carried on day trips without legal concern.
they are a little fiddly to make to get the action true and smooth with the right amount of friction, the main area of attention is the pivot hole, stop pin and the fit of the scales, im using ptfe washers that need very little lubrication but allow a tight but smooth pull... the closest thing i can relate it too is the feel of the focus control on a good quality set of binoculars... if that makes sense?
