Well I've looked high and low, even kicked around in the snow a bunch, my knife is actually lost.
Pam gave it to me for Christmas, I feel like chit now.
It was too bulky for front pocket so I had it in a side pocket, carpenter pants.
Not a goot idea.
live & learn.
Next one will be something like that slimlock, if I find a good enough deal on one. It's shorter, slimmer, better for front pocket carry.
Stupid knives.
Now I'm cranky, and driving straight into a snow storm for a 5-6 hr drive... grumble, grumble...
Something clever here.

Hadn't remembered the AL MAR waranty.
Been two, three years ago now. Sure don't have a recipt.
Wish I would have thought of this back then.
It was a $120.00 knife. (kicks toe in dirt!)

Great knife. I've got a couple of griptillians with different blade styles. Expat

I didn't read the entire thread, but agree 100% with Steelhead that a pocket knife should be able to be opened one handed.
IMO, one of the best utility/duty knives ever made is the CRKT Crawford/Kasper Fighting Folder. Simply a work of art that will open with a flick of the wrist and retailed for under $40.00! I currently rotate between it, a Kershaw Scallion (another fantastic assisted opening knife that sells for under $40.00!), and a Benchmade 2550 Mini-Reflex Auto.
Simply put, Kershaw and CRKT offer a lot of bang for the buck!

Having just had my EDC pocket knife lifted by sticky fingers from my office at work, I decided to buy a Benchmade BM585 Mini Barrage. It has a Spring assisted Axis system and it's FAST. Much faster than my old Kershaw "Boa". With a blade length of 2.9" it will keep most folks out of trouble.
I just found mine online for $83.99 Shipping included! May have to order a backup at that price!

Ya know how to find lost stuff, Dave?
Buy another!
The first one will trip you when you walk back in from the store ( or mailbox in my case )
Man, I sure have a lot of double stuff around here.
Works with wimmens too ....for a short time!
Then they run into each other... and the fight begins.
