Fabulous knife, I love those bones and the EZ TDrop. Congrats, that is a looker. Man that's sweet. ::tu:: ::tu::



An OKCA find that really got me going, love the bones and the bolster embellishments and the stamps.

Looks like a beautiful knife but the blades look modern to me , no swedge to the blades . Unless it was cleaned to the point were the swedge was ground off ?

Welcome to AAPK. Nice looking knife! BTW, it has what’s called a “federal shield”.

There is a lot of info about Bridge Cutlery in the prior posts in this thread.
If you don’t see what you want to know there, please be more specific. ::tu::

Welcome here, Jason. Thanks for posting.
I think the run up at the spine of your clip blade and the spring are upset to where your clip blade rides high.
Maybe a replaced pin.
Nice little carry. ::tu::
