(Apologies, Mike, if I am beating you to it)
As most of us are aware by now, Mike (@knifeswapper) has facilitated a number of excellent collaborations with the Maniago cutlery firms out of Italy. This has resulted in a number of variations of Barlow, Sodbuster types, Sowbelly, and others - as well as the Swayback that was our forum knife choice for 2020.
I am very fond of these knives and they do a tremendous job of bridging the gap between traditional designs and modern manufacturing and materials. Mike is to be commended for these efforts and I really hope they continue well into the future.
This brings me to the latest - the Fox Cutlery "Recoil" Gunstock, a single blade jack with all the slickness of design execution we appreciate in Viper and LionSteel. Since there has been a lot of interest in a single blade Gunstock from GEC, I thought this Fox version might hit a sweet spot for some and it would be neat to drum up some discussion on it.
(If I recall correctly, the Recoil name was determined or at least was featured in a recent giveaway that Mike hosted and I think it rather fitting.)
A single blade in M390 stainless steel, integral titanium bolsters/liners, and a variety of cover options that are potentially yet to be determined. It looks to be a lot of blade for this knife at 3 1/2" closed and Mike demonstrates the action along with some commentary on his website - it really does look like it will be a superb offering in CK's burgeoning lineup.
