I was looking for a small pocket knife to carry. I saw this one by John Lloyd for sale on another forum and decided it was what I was looking for. It's that and more. This is a great knife with excellent fit and finish, 2 1/8" balde of ATS 34, 5 1/2 overall length, stag handle and it came razor sharp. It's like a scalpel, it's that sharp. It does everything I would ask a knife this size to do, open envelopes, boxes, slice fruit and it's people friendly. In fact some people even said how nice it looks. I work with a bunch of non-knife friendly people. I was so impressed by this knife I ordered another one just a little larger with a 3" blade which I should have in November. John was very to work with when I ordered it. Great knife from a great guy. What more could I ask for?

Thanks Tony. I bought the one in the picture from VCM. Vince was great to work with and the prices are very reasonable. He has a couple on his website now,. John doesn't have a website as far as I know but I do have his e-mail address if you want it.

I have one of John's knives. It is a great knife for the price. His work is becoming better and better all the time. He had 20 or so knives at Atlanta, they were very nice.

Vince is the go to guy for a Lloyd. He can usually get them in a very short time.

Very classy looker and I do like ATS 34. I have a Benchmade with ATS-34 and it really holds an edge.

Bought this swayback jack a few days ago. I am a big fan of Dowell knives.
