Why do I like it?
I like this campaign because I know how nice these knives are going to be because they sent me one of the little Bandit knives. If that project is any indicator to the quality of The Strand and The West knives, they will be keepers. The Strand is the larger knife with a frame lock and The West is the slimmer model with a slip joint non-locking design.
