    OooooooooK, since I've run my mouth Ima gonna post a 'few' Tactical Folders that I possess...any folder can be 'Tactical, depends on how I use it, kinda like a screwdriver...and a Kitchen Knife or three. Yeah, I've got a few of those, too...no Kramer's but they cut just as well. :D

    I don't own many 'grey turds' as I call them....all the shoebox-looking CNC pieces of unmitigated *&^*&^%#....these are my idea of 'Tactical Folders' and there are MANY more, let me know before I wear out my welcome. ;)

    McGinnis, Rider, Carothers, PJ Tomes, Draper, Boye, and Krein plus my new Wulf. :cool:

    Dudley, beyond these tacticals and kitchen knives, I am pretty sure you have perhaps the most eclectic collection around. We've talked enough to know that we often have the same kind of taste when it comes to the "eclectic". You have lots of fabulous pieces in your collection.

    Hey Dudley,

    Your kitchen/utility selection is well rounded. Bravo!

    I'm like you: I LOVE the G&G Hawk creations, because of the engineering and their personalities. I've owned a few and I still have one or two left. I forget! LOL

    Never heard of a Hydra. Sure is SEXAY!

    Man! Steve Ryan can hide a LOT of blade in those crazy grippy handles.

    Airline pilot Jim Smyth and I crafted a folder years ago with my input. It had that circular ring. Legendary. I got an offer I couldn't refuse. It's gone. Jim is CLASS A. His work is CLASS A+.

    Thanks for showing! I've learned more about you and your great tastes. :cool:
