Having used his knives in all manner of ways, I can personally attest the quality, fit/finish, steel. However something about Menefee and his folders moves me. Can anyone share some pictures and let me know how they like them? How does the steel hold up? How does it sharpen? Do you use it for bloody stuff? (If so how do they clean up?) I am considering trading a sebenza for a menefee if I can find another agreeable party; however I would like some input before hand. Oh I forgot to ask, as this is important! Do they lock open?

I've had experience with 57-about 60 and liked it. If I were to have a problem with your product, even if I purchased it used, would you repair it?

I suppose that would also necessitate me asking what steel does Rick use for his folders? The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog.

FL	I can't keep them in stock I do have a 4.25" clip point trapper with a very strong snap & the "lock up",is as good as it gets for a slipjoint. You'll need real strong fingernails though. PM me if you are interested Website : New website coming soon thanks for your patience

I have a couple of Rick's that all the money in the world wouldn't buy. Rick's folders will outshine damned near any out there. Check out my new website http://www.howemtnknives.com/
