Usually I'm not too crazy about "flippers" in general,but that one ^^^^ looks pretty cool to me.Kershaw Link with GFN handle and blackwash plain blade. First Kershaw. Heck, it's the first knife I've bought since I was a pre-teen (pre-Imperial Shrade 881).
Had a neat little Made In Japan locking blade knife I've carried around for years. Really nice, held a nice sharp blade. Forgot to take it out of my pocket when we went to Disneyland, and it was too far to take it back to the car.
Dammit!!
My dad passed away in 2012 and we are still working on going through his stuff and figuring out what to do with it. He built guns and loaded ammo, built fishing rods and control-line model planes, and just piddled with stuff that interested him. My brother went through some of his stuff the other day and came across this knife. I remember him using it when he was the scoutmaster for our Scout troop. It dates to the time he was a Scout - 1940s.
RH-PAL-36 - made by PAL Blade and Tool Company. One of a number of consumer knives that the US Military bought up and used as GI issue as war broke out in 1941. The initials engraved were from the late '60s or so when he had some rudimentary electric engraver tool - you'll find lots of his stuff with his initials like this.
