I know tacticals have pretty much dominated the market for the last few years, and with good reason. They are very useful and have pushed folder technology way forward. For me though they seem somewhat cold. Dont get me wrong, I like them but I feel they have become predictable. Please if you are a tactical maker dont be offended, I really do admire your work.2thumbs And Im looking forward to making my first one. (thanks again T and Dave.)
I dig taking out a knife and, flip, you are ready to work. But I just get the warm fuzzies when I reach into my pocket, pull out that swayback to peel an apple with. Or when I think about how many splinters dad's old case trapper pulled from my hands, or remember watching my grandpa sitting on the porch with his worn out red bone whittling some cedar.
I guess Im old fashioned, I like the tacticals, but I just feel more connected to a slipjoint. Sound crazy? What are your thoughts?
