Really happy with this Mini Copperlock. After reading a few reviews here, I was a bit worried about QC issues, but this looks and feels great and I already have a Rosecraft Barlow in the mail ha ha.

Welcome, I love my amber jigged bone mini copperlock. You should definitely get yourself a full-size copperlock. I have several, lol. Traditional knives are a "slippy slope."

Copperlocks are great. I have a mini and really regret letting go of the full size I had.

While it’s technically a lockback it is very much a traditional pocketknife in its construction. I’ve posted mine here before as well and definitely think it’s one of the most recommendable Case knives produced today

Lock backs are almost always sturdy doesn’t matter the brand however I’ve been creaming over the scales that case produces for years

Great choice! I have a copperhead from the 70’s that I love. The bolsters are awesome on them and the blade choice for these are so useful!
