Thanks sal, yeah I'm the last one before it's on it's way back to you! Not managed to use it much but I like the design and n690 takes a good edge and strops well.

Welcome to the Forum Leeroy! Care to share any more info on the PITS pass around? Was it decided by draw or something like that? And how did you like the PITS folder? Does the titanium scratch up easy, how did you find the steel, weight etc?

That's a very cool shot btw.

Never mind! I just read all 17 pages of the pass around thread on britishblades. That knife you've got there is a bit like the village bicycle eh? Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

http://www.britishblades.com/forums/sho ... passaround

It is very impressive to see where this all began as an idea posted on their forums just over 2 years ago. Amazing.

http://www.britishblades.com/forums/sho ... ITS-folder

The more I read the more I need to get my hands on one of these. I have a soft spot for slipits for some reason. I don't know if it's because they remind me of the knives I had as a youth or what. Maybe a return to simpler knife designs, but with a high tech modern spin. Perhaps its because there is a good chance that one day knife laws in this country (Canada) may go the way of the brits and its good to have a back up plan. I dunno. But what Mike Reid and Sal have created makes for a pretty unique piece.
