Thanks for him
Yes it has style and this bowie blade shape has a swedge that you can't see well in the photos.
This is the first time I've seen this blade shape on a leverlock with this handle

I just stared at it for at least 2 minutes, dreaming about where it's been.
I love WWII rifles with black steel and checkered walnut grips, like a 1911 Colt. Gov.
That maltese and grip is amazing.
I had once mentioned to Walt (Latama LLC) about the vintage classic designs.
and the possibility or laser etched cross hatch.
It becomes problematic on a 3-d handle scale. The top is easy.
but most lasers are not 5 axis CNC. . .
You can get desktop lasers that will do what looks like an insert, on the top / face.
But it looks like those Mil-Spec plastic moulded things from 20 years ago.
Wonderful collection. . . .
Yes, the vintage OTFs had their charmsFishtail Picklock wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 11:58 pm Very nice! I like the old-fashioned OTF blades. They're a refreshing departure from the Asian clones.
I believe that all "superoto" have this blade tensioner at the top left to avoid blade play when it's open.whippersnapper wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2024 12:27 am <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Je ne me souviens pas en avoir vu un avec le tendeur de lame... cool !</font></font>
Hello Ian, thank you for your message once againgravknife wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2024 10:18 am Frenchi94
Love both the otfs posted .
The spanish otf I believe was contracted by Bonsa under their B&S brand and sold in Germany aswell as Spain ,your variant is one I have not seen till today ,really like it .
The variant I have is marked Pat 79075 and here is another larger type shared by Tanto few years back .
I love the superoto otfs as the action is strong and silky , and the blade tightener locks them up solid when deployed ,good lookers aswell .There were also imitation stag variants of these otf knives and they had a few different manufacturers markings ,mine marked MF St etienne .
Thanks for the look at these and hope you are well.
Ian
