The other "100" pattern style of coke bottle handled single blade knives had 2 nickle-silver bolsters and were the ::
6100 - bone stag handles, heavy saber clip blade - 1925, 1931 and 1941 catalogs
6100-L (aka6100L), bone stag handles, but with a blade lock (type undefined) - 1925, 1931 and 1941 catalogs


Notice that the 1936 catalog did NOT include the 6100, 6100L, 2100V, 2100BH, and 3100 models. Who knows why they were omitted from the 1936 catalog but do reappear in the 1941 catalog.

Old thread I know

Do you have a catalog picture of the model # 6100L?

I am interested in seeing what the lock looks like.

Not my knife, not my pics.

Not my knife, not my pics.

Thanks for posting the picture

The one I am looking for has a lock in the side of the bolster, like a button I am assuming, don't know because I have never seen one before.

Looking for a catalog cut or real knife picture of a 6100L if you have anything.
