    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    I hear what you're saying. The Buck 112 is big and heavy for a folder. So is the slightly smaller 112. That's why I like the 055 that OMG mentioned and is shown in my picture above. It has all the styling of the 110, but is easily carried in the pocket and features the sturdy and reliable...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    I love seeing all the Buck knives here and I'm happy that they are partnering with Filson. My very first knives as a kid were Bucks and I still have most of them. Here's a shot from a couple of years ago with both Buck and Filson content. The belt is from Tanner Goods.

    Nice 98 Camp Knife. That's a big 'un. I love the GEC's

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Nice build. Green micarta (linen or canvas) is probably my favorite handle material. I've always liked the compression lock on the Paramilitary knives. The .45 casing lanyard stud is a nice touch. By the way, the lanyard tube is so hard to remove because they flare the ends at the factory...

    I don't see any Copper Fox/Wasmund's on your shelf. What are your thoughts on that Virginia distillery? Their rye is one of my all time favorites. Rick is a really great guy as well.

    I grew up here and moved back after living in Richmond for about 5 years while attending VCU. It's a lovely town and I've really grown to appreciate it more and more as I get older.

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    I have a quick question about the leather on the newer luggage pieces. I feel like I came across the answer when I was trying to catch up on this thread, but now I can't seem to find it again. Is it the general consensus that the dark brown leather on newer luggage pieces will not lighten...

    I didn't know there were so many local (to Virginia) members in this thread. I live in Staunton myself and work north of Charlottesville.

    Looks great. Be sure to post some pictures as the brass starts to patina.

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Practice will help with operating smoothness. I find the Axis lock to be one of the easiest to operate once you get the hang of it. Like with most locking systems it takes some time to get used to. With my Axis lock knives I rarely even use the thumbstud anymore when opening. Here's a...

    I'm new to this forum, but a lifelong knife guy. If I may ask, what do you not like about the Axis lock? I know it's not for everyone, just wondering what your thoughts are. Best, Matthew

    **Update to my recent Filson Field Watch review** Much to my surprise the white dial version does have luminous numerals and markers. Since it is the black-colored compound it is not very strong or long-lasting, but it is there. I must say after discovering this, there is very little to fault...

    I like that a lot. I would’ve bought one if they had made it in the 36-38mm range. It looks fantastic on the red strap.

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Thank you very much. It's easy to photograph and write about a product with so many interesting little details. This is definitely a watch with decent value and thoughtful design. I do hope Filson continues to offer more watches in the future, especially if they offer them in a wide range of...
