Interesting. Very nice bone on one side. I’ve seen a number of tri-folds but none having a bone cover on one side and what looks to be wood on the other side. ::shrug:: I assume it has been been modified? Or is that two different knives?

That old knife has been rode hard and put up wet! A shame the missing cover has been replaced with wood.

In an AAPK store for $250 if anyone is interested.

That's insane!! Near mint ones go for that, not rusted, cobbled examples, but then again, I can buy most knives cheaper elsewhere than here.
