Chrome knives—what are they?
Recently picked up these double lock blade chrome knives. One has markings on one blade the other has nothing.
Anyone have any idea what these are?

Re: Chrome knives—what are they?
The only brand that comes to mind for me, BCF, is Parker/Frost
and I'm not real confident with that. I too am a fan of all chrome/metal knives and I have a full box of them to prove it, but I'll only post what I consider to be the nicest of the bunch today, when time permits I'll post others now that you started this thread.
to AAPK!
This knife is a 10" Matt Diskin built auto liner-lock with all Titanium hardware but for the genuine Abalone button. Matt is the person who designed the Kershaw "Launch 8" automatic, as well as many others. Not only my favorite all-metal knife, but the crown jewel/grail of my accumulation!

EDIT: - It seems I have mistaken the topic matter "Chrome Knives"! I thought it's what I posted, an all-chrome knife not realizing it's the name for a certain knife, my apologies,
duh!

Re: Chrome knives—what are they?
The only American knife maker that I am aware of using stagered lock back release levers was Camillus so my guess is they were made by Camillus. However, there is lots I do not know or have forgotten and I may be about to learn something.
By the way, aren't their sides aluminum?
Cool knives.

Why are they called Chrome knives?

Weird thing is that neither have "PATENTED" anywhere, as on my smaller 902.Modern Slip Joints wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2025 10:06 pm The only American knife maker that I am aware of using stagered lock back release levers was Camillus so my guess is they were made by Camillus.

Re: Chrome knives—what are they?
Looking again I noticed their blades have a feature that Camillus blades did not have, choils, the small notches that seperate the edge from the tang. Perhaps their maker did not think they had to respect the patent of an a company that had gone out of business?

Are they chrome or polished aluminum?

Re: Chrome knives—what are they?
I will have to investigate further to make that determination.
