I have a german tool set and the knife handle has a locking lever on the side of the handle. You pull it up, change the blade then push the lever back down to lock it.

Many of the tool kit knives lock in the same as the Imperial set.Some of the German ones have the locking lever as described above and others have s simple lockback style backspring to release and lock the blades in place. These usually have a handle that allows the blade to be locked into either the normal position or at 90 degrees to the handle for using a tool such as a corkscrew or an awl.

Nice clean 8OT, GW!

Got a couple real gems in the mail this week, plus a "user" that is nearly as clean as the dead-mint example I've already got. A few hits on the DMT and it'll be pocket-ready.

Tony, that's a couple of nice 72's there! ::tu::
Here's what I had in the mail basket when I got home. The sidewinder is larger than I thought and is quite impressive. The unlocking mechanism is activated by depressing the shield. Another liner lock Sodbuster and a good old shortline 72 with black composite handles.

Got me a couple of older schrades on the cheap.

First one is a walden peachseed 895, perfect HOK condition. Tight and snappy as it should be, just needs a little sharpening work. Second one you don't see too often, cut co stainless. Too bad somebody sharpened it poorly and messed up the finish, but the blades are full and any stainless cut co is relatively rare. I was also supposed to get a rough rider swing guard today, but the delivery person blundered. I guess I'll see it monday :roll:

Boyz, when you buy from Scott (TripleF), not only do you get great service, you get treated like you're part of the family. I bought this Premier Lifetime Jack from him and when it showed up today she was outfitted like she was going to the prom. In the package with her was a pen, a lanyard/fob and a brand new, unopened deck of USMC playing cards.

The knife is outstanding. Half-stops on both blades. Snap like the crack of a rifle shot. Blades very near full and terrific bone handles. No buyer's remorse here. Thank you very much Scott.

My pleasure Jerry!!

These arrived yesterday. The flakes in the Imperial are tough to capture in a pic and are beautiful.
Top knife has pinned-on scales (not shell).

Just received this Imperial E/O from Scott. It has what appears to be real tortoise shell scales. These were illegal after about 1972. If I am correct about the scales the knife will be 45 plus years of age. Although showing some wear and tear it has held up nicely.

I don't know how old your very nice Robeson is, but Delrin was first used on knife handles 1960/61.

I don't think it's either one of those. It looks like good 'ol rough black which is more "rubbery". Maybe robeson called it black composition, I don't know.

Turns out the Imperial I posted above was made sometime between the early 20s and 1935. Much older than I originally thought. Anybody have a way of determining the authenticity of real tortoise shell?
