Sadly, Canal Street Cutlery is going or has gone out of business. I snagged one of the last production knives, in Bocote wood. The unopened blade is a sheepfoot blade. Both blades share a common backspring. This is a fine traditional pocket knife I'm sure to enjoy carrying and using. Some would hang onto this as a safe queen or something, but I use all my knives.

My small Sebenza came back from the spa today. It looks amazing.

However, I have really taken a new liking to my old green mini CQC7 and will likely continue to carry it, as I did for over a decade.

The Sebenza is built like a bank vault, but now that it looks like new, I am reluctant to carry it every day.

My mini CQC7 is just like an old pair of jeans or a favorite pair of shoes that are broken in and just right.

My SOG Flash II has gone everywhere I have for many years, with complete satisfaction. It has to go in checked luggage on airplanes and left in the car at courthouses, but otherwise it is in my pocket, or in my hand.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

That is nice hobbs. How have you been? I am still carrying the vallotten and syderco firefly for the most part. I really like them both. That being said. I am rocking my 940-1 and my field and farm today.

Thanks D. I think that stockman was made by Queen for Northwoods ... maybe around 2010.

It's one of the better put together traditional pocket knives I own.

No blade rub anywhere. Walk and talk is superb. The jigged bone is smooth ... almost pocket worn out of the box ... no little catchy pieces of bone sticking up out of the jigging like so many new knives have until worn a bit.

I'm not a big fan of the stockman pattern but I do have this one and a Buck 301. That said, this one gets carried when I want to carry a stockman for a change of pace.

A Chris Reeve Sebenza, a small one I purchased in 1998. It's a constant companion. I also have a Victorinox SAK, a Spartan.

I'm going into San Francisco tonight where 3" is the max blade length so I'm going with my Leatherman Skeletool and a metal pen.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
