There's one in here. you'd just have to go to work finding a back handle and get Kaleb to work his magic on it. You can sell the rest and get most of your money back.

Hey Bob,

Great link. Looks like it is missing the swing guard but that could be taken from other swing guard in the lot. Unfortunately, looks like there is also a pretty good crack thru the entire mark side handle at the shield.

Thanks for the offer JJ. Not trading any knives as if I let go of a knife, I am trying to thin the herd. That said, that one is not for sale at this point but if I change my mind, you will have first crack at it. We can talk offline in the future on such matters if you prefer.

Just a note, I had that and another swing guard that were loose on lockup, No side to side play at all, just some very minor movement up and down on blade and guard was not tight to bolster either when locked which I cannot stand on a swing guard. Had it fixed by one of our own Master Knife Mechanics here, Kaleb aka Muskrat Man. He had to have some extra metal tig welded to the tang. Only pivot pin was removed to fix the issue. No one would ever know the difference had I not said anything. Superb work, looks original and locks up real tight now. Looks like it was never worked on.

That said, I will keep my eye open for you. I am sure you will find one soon.

Regards, Jerry

Ok dutifully noted

Kaleb sounds like he is the go to
