It didn’t stay at your mom’s very long.Had to fly to Canada to collect the kids from their grandparent's place, and didn't want to check a bag. I'm never without a knife in my pocket, so the plan was to pick up a cheap knife and leave it at my mom's for future trips. Got this Buck Maverik 251 at Canadian Tire for $25 (about $17-18 US):

I don't know why I like the look, but I do. I like the feel too. It is about 8" total length with a liner lock.
It wound up coming home with me...
I was going to get one for my boy, because he likes it too, but the US version (the Langford) is different:

Lesson learned. Always buy 2!
Barlow 2 blade 70s, old timer stockman middleman (grandpa's - rip) '80s, Leatherman sidekick 20s, unlabeled scout '60s-70s, old timer stockman senior (edc) '80s, buck 450 '90's. chinesium swag (nice weight, hollow tang) '10s, SOG I found in a parking lot '00s, Schrade 2201 "semi stainless" skinner '10s, Schrade LB7 (grandpa's) '80s, Carl Schlieper Solingen German Eye Bowie (found at the creek as a kid) '70s. I got a nice Victorinox somewhere I can't find.I went and looked at the newer version at the store and really liked it. however i wasnt going to pay 400 for it. i watched ebay for a while and this came up with some scratches on the blade from the kydex which dont bother me. i got it for less than 200 and its super sharp. it seems like a pretty perfect knife.Neat little knife, perfect size for just about anything. I have the Cold Steel version in my hunting pack.
