That's a solid looking folder, Tony, very cool. I love the thought on your cup, too, walk around all day think'n 'bout Hawaii. I browsed your store today after somewhat of an absence, and you sure have some gorgeous models in stock. You're stocking some McCusta's now I see, good for you, buddy. All the best, bro!

And your geography is pretty good, too, except, Hull and Gatineau are CDN CITIES located in the PROVINCE of Quebec, whereas Quebec is a PROVINCE not a CITY, that has Hull and Gatineau as 2 of it's CITIES. Same thing as Los Angles, the CITY, in the STATE of California. Get it, buddy?::hmm:: ::handshake:: Please give Zeus a good rub-down for me, and maybe a treat for being such a good boy!

PLEASE, don't encourage Donny-Boy and his ramblings, my friend, he seems to be calming down now that his butt-buddy took his bat and ball and went home, and we don't want to risk upsetting that vulnerable mood he's in. ::hmm::

I broke out my CRKT "Redemption" cross-lock for today, and this cool knife is 9 1/4" with a stonewash CPM Magnacut spear-point blade, SS bolsters, G-10 covers, cross-lock open/closing, and ambi pocket clip. Weighs nearly 5 oz.'s.
Designed by Ken Onion after the all-black Aces and Eights "Deadman's Hand" held by Wild Bill Hickock when he was bushwhacked by the coward Robert Ford, as he played poker.
This large but really cool knife can only be opened or closed using the cross-lock system, no nail-nick or pinch-pull is available. Not cheap for a CRKT knife, but worth it, IMO.

I'm curious about three things, all of which could be looked up but it's more fun asking. First, Los Angles, the city, along with other cities, is in Las Angles County which is in California. Are provinces divided into the equivelent of counties? Second, how does a cross lock opening system work, and third are both sides of that blade sharp?

Thanks Mark... that Kershaw is well suited for most of my daily tasks ... big enough with some belly, but small enough at the same time.

I'll do my best answering your questions, buddy, and to start I can tell you that what you call "counties" we call "communities" which is any area people live in within a city.
It would be difficult to verbalize how the cross-lock system works, so suffice to say check YouTube for the video, I've watched it and it's excellent and self explanatory.
Lastly, this knife has a single-edged blade.
Hope this helps!

Many thanks, Dog, the c/l system is fun to fidget with. I can honestly say that, that blade profile is my favorite, and G-10 is also a long time favorite.

This CTKT knife I'd designate as my "Mama Bear" knife, not too big, not too little, it's just right. ::groove::

A Marbles with some Bangers.

Made in China, but it's a pretty nice knife. I don't love the blade redundancy though. Why not just have a coping blade ::shrug::
