Very close here, design wise. What is missing is the rounded heel on the Case.

That jigged handle reminds me of the Tony Bose collab slipjoint Case D sold me. The blade is not stainless so you can patina it, great knife.

This exact knife with a red bone handle was my favorite that took a walk. Was confusing knives this one is liner lock.

Mclain,

Mine was that red bone in the below knife. Had much more color depth than the trapper

I calmed my itchy trigger finger a bit by buin a benchmade 530.

Btw. I like to wrist flick my knives pretty much, too.
Maybe it´ll fuck the knife up in long term view, but it is so calming and fun…

This is kind of over the top, but suits my taste

That pricing is way too high for a factory piece IMO. You could get one of Ohta's hand-made traditional Western custom knives for that kind of loot. Granted, this is a slipjoint and not a lock back, but something like this, for example:
https://www.arizonacustomknives.com/Model-108-by-Hiroaki-Ohta-Knives.aspx?ReturnUrl=Hiroaki-Ohta.aspx%3FPage%3D

This site has a number of good custom blades as well, plenty in Damascus.

Here's a lockback: http://customknifegallery.com/lee1f.html#fbm

And another: http://customknifegallery.com/ricke1f.html#diw
And a framelock I almost bought myself: http://customknifegallery.com/wilmot1f.html#DIW1

I like the more rounded, contour heel. There is a Damascus/Sheephorn listed that is nice on the site, but I don't see anything from Ohta that is quite right. It's a little thing, but that heel makes a difference in feel when skinning small game, or other tasks that take more control at blade tip.

I need to stop looking at this thread. I found a Japanese kitchen knife forum and had to use the Men In Black memory eraser thingie immediatley afterwards.

I found a site with killer gyuto and other Japanese steel. Aogami clad with stainless, incredibly thin. In a word, "sploosh."

Chefworks just came out with their Rain line with Ken Onion. Worth taking a look. I bought their 4" chef's knife for Jody for Christmas.
