That's pretty nice.
I really have no interest in any the new automatics but I like that one.
Kind of a combination of old style and new technology.
My favorite folder's this North Woods Indian River Jack.
The NW B&T pictured with it used to be my favorite fixed blade up until a couple weeks ago when it lost it's standing to this little GEC B&T.

I think bladeplay will do a conversion if you have a starter knife.I bought this one already finished off of gun broker.You can still find them online and they are not that expensive this one was 150 .I think these guys do conversion too www.wirtzwiredm.com/buckknives

This piece has become my favorite in the short time I've had it and goes everywhere with me. It was the first knife I designed and worked on with my buddy that got me started building knives.
It's 5/32" L6 tool steel with Desert Ironwood handles. Both tough materials that have taken well to relatively hard use.

Hard to put up "one" of your favorites when its like one pair of socks, you need one for each foot. This pair has traveled a lot of miles through the woods together and dressed a lot of game. I've had the bottom knife IIRC, about 30 years, the top knife close to 20 or so.

Those are nice Bob.
My daughter gave a Grahmann B&T for fathers day this year.
Haven't used it yet but it appears to be a nice knife.
The handles different than any thing I've used before, but I'm keeping an open mind.

Thanks RePete, and congrats on your new Grohmann B&T! Both of mine take and hold edges quite well. I've heard the same from others over the years that use them. Though everyones hands are different, the handle shapes do not seem to be as tiresome for me to use as some others during a long spell doing knife work. Hope your hand finds the same comfort sweet spot on your new knife.

Thanks Bob
Heck, I'd be happy to bag enough fish or birds for my hand to get tired from working on em regardless of which knife I'm using. So far that hasn't been a problem though.
BTW, I had one of those belt knives like yours years ago. Pretty nice little knife.
Not sure what ever happened to it but I suspect it ended up in the wrong camp box back when we used to do a big Deer camp. That's OK though, there were some awfully good guys in that camp so I'm sure it found a good home.

Sorry to hear your original blade went into the deer camps community chest and you haven't seen it since, funny thing now that you mentioned it, that may be where some of my trinkets have disappeared to also.........hmmmmm
Last deer camp was in S.E. Montana near the farthest corner, yours truly being the youngster (I'm in my mid fifties) of a rag tag group that goes well up into their mid- late seventies drew the short straw and had the dubious pleasure of having to cape and skin 5 deer hanging from the meat pole with the aforementioned knives..... I'm going to stick my neck out just a bit and vouch that your new blade should (and I have every reason to believe it will) reward you with the same excellent service.
Best,
Bob

"Deer camp community chest",,,, I like that.
Probably left it behind so it's my fault anyways but the jokes on them cause thirty years later I'm still finding the occasional glove under my seat

Post script;
I should add that though their eyes and senses have dimmed a bit with the ravages of time, their keen wit and insight are ever more sharper as the years have gone by. In the spirit of the OP's post maybe that's the favorite knife we would all like to end up having............
Best,
Bob

Thanks Fin,,,, yes on the sheath, it's well built but god-awfull IMO.
You must have missed it but I posted about that exact issue in my "shopping spree" thread.
Here's my answer to that monstrosity.
And YES, it's a sweet little knife. Very high fondle factor.
Can't wait to "hopefully" put it to work on a few fish when I go camping next week.
