Grats on your find Lookin' good!A little late to the party.
Just added the Elderberry today. Last one out there I think. I have had the Cocobolo for a little over a year now and it rides with me by far more than anything else I own. I know the collectors here on the porch will think the wood is plain and dark however that is exactly what I like about it. It feels like it is 50 years old to me. Also a 2 blade fan so I wanted to complete the Tidioute set before they were all gone, love all three. Just need to get the other two as smooth as the Cocobolo. I can actually pinch the main open on that because it is so smooth.
Thank youAwesome, good for you OG.
The closest thing I've seen is a single blade Barlow, which is smaller, of course (or larger), or a doctor's knife, which is narrower. Many of the French patterns are single bladed, but longer and not as flat. Maybe a Pradel, perhaps by Au Sabot? A little bigger than the 78.I own five or more of the recent 78s. Are there similar single blade jacks in stainless manufactured by anyone out there today? I was watching an episode of Jack Ryan a couple of nights back and one of the terrorists used a nice jack knife to open a package of SIM cards. Just made me wonder what brand it may have been.
Just curious. Thanks!
