Sweet! 👍👍, real sweet! ... ::hmm:: Marco, I have one that I got in a group lot as "NOS" still in the shrink wrap. It too is made in Germany, (I hope ::skeptic:: ) but.... ::paranoid:: ... I'm not sure if it has Derlin or real bone scales. I got it before joining AAPk and was not yet as crazy about bones as I am now..... ::facepalm:: .... ::paranoid:: I need to dig it out and do some verifying.... ::uc::

A friend of mine calls this knife therapy. It does feel like that for me. Its comforting to sit down in the solitude and listen only to the sound of my tools, and think only of the out come I seek to achieve in using them. Meditative mindfulness :wink:

Gifted this same friend my other G96 960. Got this one all banged up in a repair lot, making it pocket worthy is tonight's project.

I just like to look at this one...
Begg Knives Astio Flipper Production Version
3.5" D2 Recurve Hollow Ground Tanto Blade / Ball Bearing Pivot / 4.75" closed / 8.25" open / G10 frame lock

Besides the artistic look, this knife features a ball detent pocket clip for a smooth draw.

Many thanks T-Dog! The original custom version of this knife with better steel, etc. costs thousands now if you can get one.
I like Todd Begg Knives ... they look good and are built very well. Just noticed my reply is bold also. ::shrug::

There is something confusing about your Ontario Comfort Van ... think I will stay tuned in to get my mind right.

The original custom version of a Beggs' knife was between $350-$450 (at least on the used market) about 10 years ago, ::paranoid:: if'en I recall correctly .... ::paranoid::

This knife very much reminds me of the "Swordfish" knives you have in your store, Tony, and a couple of similar looking Cold Steel models also, and I really like it. As for Begg Knives, I only need to reach beside me and I have the great little model you sold me awhile back in my hand ready for action! ::groove::
