Sorry to interrupt the flow of The Mystery Knife, but i fellt the need to display my ignorance and to give kudos to AAPK. Came here to learn and there it is again. "Coined liners" was a term I west not familiar with, I Googled it first and got a bunch of IA gibberish that even I knew was wrong. So, I came back and looked closer at the pictures, even magnifying one. Now if I am not mistaken (an all too real possibility), "coined liners" refers to liners whose tops are reeded to resemble the edge of a coin. DUH! I can be a little slow on the uptake sometimes.

Gtrclktr, this thread has taught me so much about styles of builds, jigging patterns, shield types and so on. Like you when I see a term I don’t know I pop it in the search bar and read up on it.

Okay, American. Gone for quite a while. Can't show the main because it is etched. J.O'.

Boker

Very close.. O'.

New York Knife Co.

You got it Galvanic. A great old Valley Forge. If anybody likes it, PM me. Snaps like a pit bull, lightly sharpened, no cracks. J.O'.
