[AT] OT pocket knives

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

Just an update: I bought my son a single blade Case with a plastic/composite 
handle. The knife has a lockback design. After reading your posts it seems 
quite a few folks are using single blade knives instead of the 2 and 3 blade 
knives I carry. I carried him to 3 stores and we tried several. This one is 
fairly easy to open and close, yet the blade is never in a "free" rotating 
state. Some of the easy opening ones seemed to me they could open in your 
pocket. The blade is about 3-3.5 inches long and the knife is big enough to 
get a really good grip on. The handle is also textured. The Kershaw and 
Gerber knives some of you suggested were out of stock actually. Anyway he 
seems pleased and has used it the last couple Saturdays around the farm.
