A friend had the green insert buck crosslock in 1996. Thought it was the coolest ever. I got one a few years later in the same green insert. Carried it for years and loved it. One of the best early modern folders. Would probably still sell. The giant pocket clip and tip down made it great for basketball and swim short carry.
And now a collection of two, the new one waveless...the wave is THE fastest opener from a pocket, unbelieveably cool to self and anyone watching, WHEN standing....
but, when seated CAN grab pocket liner further down rather than top corner of pocket, and attempt to open in pocket or prevent draw, and I like to have a knife I can draw from pocket while seated without taking extra care.
Originally, only the thumb stud/wave knife advertised the scallop to thumb cutout in handle in photos while the thumb disc knife was advertised pictured with no scallop as always...
and I didn't want to take a chance on disc being hard to reach in a rush and ordered the thumb stud (turns out last of 125 tanto with stud to date).
But a much later call confirmed them transitioning all the CQC-7s to the scallop, and my ownership confirms it rolls open about as easy as a Spyderco, even if disc knurling obviously rougher than a Spyderco hole...all info for possible shoppers.

Does this count as a knife? Picked it up today...
Initial lookup on it suggest its a late 1800's Chassepot of some variety. Going to have to check for markings in a bit but I couldn't pass it at the price on it.

That's a cool looking swife but that front license plate was the first thing to grab my attention.
Been rocking that plate on every truck since I inherited from my dad
From what I read the curvature of the blade was so when the Calvary charged on horse the troops would kneel down and position the bayonet at an angle to take the force of the horses coming in. Either way I wouldn’t want either of those jobs.
True story there. I did some looking and found this one was a St. Etienne made one from 1873. Scabbard is not numbers matching which is a bummer but it's in overall super condition IMHO.
