The scales material and backspacer is Thunderstorm Kevlar. The liners are bronzed and jeweled Titanium. The clip is milled titanium orange peeled and bronzed. Unfortunately, I don't know what the weight is though, it definitely isn't my heaviest knife that's for sure!

Thanks, Tony!:D Keep The Pics & Info Coming, Brother!:tu

Should I pay any more/less for a first production knife? Looking at an Benchmade 300-1 Ball Axis Flipper Knife First Production Blue & Black G10 #522/750.

Thoughts??

These are my knives. All the knives in the top photo will shave the hair off your arm and are my Sunday knives. Two Colts, a Schrade with a white bone handle and Uncle Henry stag.
http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k9...pse6b74f8e.jpg


The bottom photo are my working knives. Starting from the left is the Schrade my father gave me in 1976. I carried it on my web belt in the military for 10 years. Below that is a slim Buck knife. I removed the clip and it's a awesome pocket knife. The Gerber pouch goes with the rubber/gray handle Gerber. A super smooth easy opening knife you can open with one hand every time. The hunter is a Winchester that has the sharpest blade I've experienced. The red and white knife is a Uncle Henry two blade, both as long as the handle. The ebony wood handle knife is a Sharp 200 with a 3 1/2 inch blade. Next to that is a Master Barlow my dad gave me in 1975. The Master Barlow and Sharp are the only two here that will not shave the hair off your arm.

Found this old girl today while doing some cleaning, and decided to clean and sharpen it up and add it to the carry rotation. Camillus official Cub Scout knife I got when I was probably 7 or 8. Hair popping sharp and just an all around great knife.

Thx Heavy_d! The Style CS has been great! My wife got one first and it was so useful that I got one too. Only $20 at REI. The scissors are the most useful part but the little knife is handy as well. Nice and small, fits in the pocket comfortably. Cant do better for $20 IMO. :)

Thanks for the comments Derek and Charlie. I am really liking this little one! The only thing I would change is the pocket clip. It came with a Spyderco wire clip.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 
This is my steady. I only have pocket knives and I don't have a rotation set. I carry the same one until I lose it or I get an overwhelming desire to change (which I never do). It's my box-opening, fish tackle-mending, leftover steak-slicing, general purpose everything you want it to do piece. I hit it on the sharpener every few months, but it rarely needs much maintenance. Probably have 4 years on it. Picture below is stock - mine has a little more patina. My mom gave my BIL and me these for Christmas as a Buck Collector’s Edition 2-knife set; 379 Solo and a 373 Trio. Neither of us use the 379 Solo. He broke the point off the big blade in the 373 within a year, but he still carries it.

I feel lost is it's not in my pocket.
