That’s the lightest color wood I’ve seen on one. Very nice knife.

Here’s a question for you guys. Have you ever seen a Boker or Colonial with the TL-29 stamp on the handle? I am curious about this.

Here's the Empire double blade that I have that's looking for a mate.

I know this is an old thread, but I just got one of these 2 blade Empires. Can you tell me if the screwdriver blade on yours locks open and is released by pushing down on the main blade. My screwdriver doesn’t lock open, but has very good spring retention. Thanks for the help.

Yes, mine locks open and is released by the main blade.

Often times people who don't know how these operate force the screwdriver blade closed and if done enough times damages the lock ::td::
