QTCut5:
I saw the pictures you posted of your old Russlock knives, the ones you said you sold a long time ago. They were all very nice, but the following two really stood out for me as being exceptionally beautiful:

The pearl one's color scheme and designs on the handle look great, and the wood one is not only beautiful but also quite unusual and uncommon. (An honorable mention goes to the fancy blue-and white one in a wide 'V' pattern on the handle, the one in the middle of several others, that one was gorgeous, as well). It's hard to believe you actually got rid of those exceptionally beautiful and rare knives. Since they're most likely quite hard to find, do you regret at all giving them away or selling them?
The only Russlock I have is this cranberry Case XX with the silver script shield:
It's true they're rather difficult to open, but the contours of the handle do feel great in the hand. The majority of my knife collection is comprised mostly of stilettos because I've always loved knives that have that slick-and-sleek look. Russlocks definitely have that same slick-and-sleek look, what with the thin and subtly-upswept curve of the blade, and how the extended tang flows into the handle when opened.
The only aspect of Russlocks that I don't really care for is the rounded part underneath that has to be pushed to unlock the blade. I know it's necessary for functionality, but still, it does somewhat detract from the slick-and-sleek flowing look of the knife from top-to-bottom.
Regardless, your Russlocks were great to see, and I hope you (and everyone else) enjoyed seeing my cranberry one.
