A few days ago, this pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT purchase the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, strangely enough, it did turn out to be a keeper. It did end up being added to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It is a MADE IN U.S.A., two blades, one tang stamp, 3 9/16" closed, a long main blade pull, two springs, tipped bolsters, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "MADE IN (over) U.S.A." Both scales appear to have suffered some shrinkage. But, both scales shrunk in ALMOST the exact same shape. There are NO cracks, separation, or any damage to the scales at any of the six pins. It ALMOST looks like the scales were installed that way. The main blade does have a WEAK half stop. The main blade does have an OK opening snap. The main blade does NOT have a closing snap. The secondary blade does have a CRISP half stop. The secondary blade does have a VERY GOOD opening snap. The secondary blade does have a VERY GOOD closing snap. Overall, even with the shrunken scales, this pocket knife is STILL in GOOD condition. It's NOT uncomfortable to hold. Cleaning was sorely needed. I took some pictures and here it is.

Don't you hate when the handles shrink like that!

Yes! But, it could've been worse.
