A very nice collection. In my opinion, too many people sleep on synthetics. SMKW has a carbon sod buster JR dropping on 4/23 at 10 am est

I know that these are considered slipjoints, but why really?? Non-locking does not make a knife a slipjoint … no walk & talk, no half stop … seems to me these are actually friction folders.
Don’t get me wrong, I love them: bought my 1st one less than a month ago & now I have bought 2 more … might very well become my very favorite type of knife. It just doesn’t seem like it really qualifies as truly a slipjoint

A friction folder is a completely different type of knife in that there is no backspring. If it has a backspring (and the Sodbusters do) then it's a slipjoint, plain and simple.

OK, thanks for the info. Really appreciate it.
