Here are a few easy openers that I have pics of.
My favorite is the Wadsworth; just wish the blades were fuller.

:shock: That's one ODD looking knife.
What's up with that bail?? ::shrug::
Looks like a little OOPS with the belt sander on the tang too!

I put in a low bid on that one too, just in case it was overlooked, but I am not going higher, too many problems. I was looking at for a parts knife.
I think the handles may be added, the ends by the bolsters is too white for Rogers bone, imo.

The handles are original, they are white on the ends from someone buffing/sanding the bolsters.

As far as the bail, it was added, I suspect they put it there because they did not want to drill the bone handles or if they drilled in the center of the bolster it would have weakened the pin holding the knife together at that end.

I thought the bail looked a little catty wampus......
