that tribal lock sure is purty. that’s my next purchase

the rep that responded said that it’s unlikely my request will ever be realized. bummer

i understand the ease of maintenance for ss. its just lifeless and boring. every time i use my carbon it has a different look. i guess im weird.

sent an email. we’ll see what happens

wow! thanks yall! im going to keep it around. thats some neat history

closed length 3 9/16"

oal 6 3/8"

single blade

trapperlock is a whole different knife. at least in my eyes

hadnt thought about it being a reblade. interesting

i cant remember when or where i got this. it looks like a queen but no stamp or etch. did pakistan make queen fakes?

it's built rather well unfortunately?

i picked up this lockback at the fun show this weekend.

any word if case will ever make a 549L in cv again? i think this would be my favorite blade.

purty!

Sorry for the delay. I apologize but with job and family and holiday season, my schedule is just too crazy right now. Im gonna have to shut down my trade thread. I dont want to have upset trade partners.

i picked up an LB7 this weekend. My plan is to rebuild it and give it to a friends son. I have never seen one with a serial type number on the bolster. then i pop it apart and it has N.Y. stamped on the tang. I thought this was so cool cuz those are my initials. What is the significance of the stamp...

that looks really good. that mammoth is some cool is cool stuff.

I got rid of the lovely platic covers and made these. I think it is african blackwood, but not sure. if yall recognize the wood as something else, let me know. i made a spacer for the rear. it acts to keep the covers properly spaced and a blade stop.

hahaha. i thought keeping the spey blade. you know. a mechanics lean kinda deal

no liners

is the sodbuster cv or ss?

A friend asked me to re-cover this trapper. It had yellow delrin covers and one side was terribly sun faded. I chose to use some Purpleheart wood that I had on hand. While I had it apart I decided to convert it to a single blade. I was able to make another knife from the spey blade that is covered i...

MM, that is sweet! what fasteners are you using for the pivot pin?
