I have owend a few LL knives but sadly had to sell some. Still have the bowie I got from another men mev ber on here. And now a friction folder that loyd sent me along with some other good stuff. Going to TRY and make some of these Friction folders... I love them and thnk they are just handy. so anyone got some Lippert blades they wanna share?<><
