@JRB That's a heavy duty field knife with the ironwood scales.
I have a steamer trunk full of khukuris from HI downstairs. I've given some away over the years.

This is the Wenger evolution series which is my favorite swiss army knife variant. Its still made under the victorinox name today. This is an S14 i believe. I found it new in the plastic from a gift shop in the Adirondacks last October qnd have carried it at work since.

How do you like the Smock?
I haven't had it but for a few days but my initial impressions from the shop and now having one in hand are that it's like if i took a 940 and changed a few things to my liking.Originally Posted by EricP
Spyderhole - i prefer holes over studs and while a smaller hole opener on the smock, it is plenty functional
Lock - i like the axis lock plenty and am not a bug compression lock fan from the standpoint of single hand manipulation. But the button compression lock allows single hand manipulation without getting near the blade with your fingers and without having to push the blade closed with other objects or body parts etc...i really dig this lock type from a manipulation standpoint
Flipper - not a necessity for me but i do like the extra leverage it provides and i occasionally fidget. It looks seamless so i don't even notice it until i want to.
Choil - that was my biggest complaint about the 940. I felt like it had a pretty long blade and no good way to choke up on it. I'm not even sure this choil was designed as a finger choil, it works that way for my finger size and allows me to get a high grip when i might need more control.
It's thin, looks cool, and has a feature set i enjoy. I think it'll be pushing a few blades down the road as it takes over pocket time.

My everyday knife. Chris Reeve Mnandi. “ gentlemen’s knife” they call it. Tool I call it, but hey who said tools have to be boring?!
My OCD went straight to overdrive... Nice Tool.

THANK YOU! It was killing me as well. I must figure out how to avoid that!
Finally got a Pena X series variant. This one is a clip point Barlow that has seen some pocket time but i was a sucker for the jigged bone scales fitted by Jerry Valdez. It also came with the micarta scales and clip. Nice modern traditional and it sure is pretty. I'm going to carry it for awhile and see if it fits my tastes or not.

This is a custom "Lanny's Clip" which I had Enrique make for me several years ago...also featuring beautiful bone covers:
