Very interesting and thanks for the answers Rick and Vince. It appeared to my untrained eye that the slipjoint design would be tougher to get right....especially considering the unknown individual use/preference factors mentioned. I own 1 custom folding knife and carry it daily. I don't care much for the "tactical" look of so many folding knifes...the style/pattern of a slipjoint like the one pictured really appeals to me.......but I do like the ability to open one with 1 hand while I'm working on something or the other hand is in the middle of holding something.... I have no real need (or argument against) a lock but the general "tactical" look turns me away from them and towards slipjoints. Considering the walk/talk of a well designed slipjoint, I guess they can not be made to open with one hand?  Thanks again, Jay Spyderco UK Pen knife is a one hand opener slipjoint,I do believe. My guess is Benchmade has one too. One custom maker I know of that makes one is Michael Vagnino,he calls it a zip slip. Thanks for the info. I didn't mean to say I was against a lock, mainly the look of many of the liner lock knives. I looked up the UK Pen knife and from the description it is similiar to a slipjoint....but the look/design of the knife just isn't the same. http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=243Found a review with pics of the Vagnino Zip Slip and it looks like a great knife, but still seems somewhat tactical to me: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/996037-Mike-Vagnino-Zip-Slip-folderI'd be fine with a lock, just something that had the pattern of Rick's with a small stud or oval on top to allow 1 handed opening....without the "tacticool" look. Can't always get what I want though  Thanks again for the recommendations.

I did this thread a ways back,you might have missed it : https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbth...742199/New_liner_lock_folder#Post6742199I had no interest here on the Fire. I traded that knife to one good guy here,that I have done a few deals with. He loves it.

That is the way they should look!

I did see that one a while back. I thought it was a nice looking knife as well, but the pattern just didn't trip my trigger like this one.

I love the look of the "amber stag hunter" on Rick's website. Are those the drop point hunters?

The bottom knife is a mod Bose drop point. The top is a straight back hunter Roy kind of came up with that pattern. That bottom knife is good as it gets for a all around hunting knife. I love the look of the "amber stag hunter" on Rick's website. Are those the drop point hunters?

Grampa looks pretty healthy for his age. Damned fine buck with a ML Rick and that is a beautiful rifle.

Very nice. Good job Rick.

That's a dandy buck period! The fact that he was taken with a flintlock makes him even more special!
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

The buck has went way down in the last two years. Smooth mouth- he was all front and know back end.
