Hi Scott -

Never heard of one. That one kind of looks like a Frank B Switchline
model. If Frank will put wSb on a tang, he'll probably put Rialto on one.
I just don't know, maybe it really is a rare one. I'm sure somebody
will be along in a little bit who might know more about it.

Congrats on a beautiful set of knives - wonderful close-up detail.
Answers a lot of questions I've had about the fit and finish on the DB's.
Could agree more with you about Rick - he's great to do business with.

Like most, I haven't handled the DKD but have carried a 921 (black handle with black DLC blade) for about 2 years. Unlike many others, the blade coating is durable with moderate use and the point has stayed needle sharp (something I was very concerned with before choosing it as an EDC). The edge is ...

I've got one of the very early production runs of the MCM Cobra. The blade is totally unmarked, not even a tang stamp, and I've carried it a lot (and used it a lot). Doesn't hold a real durable edge but re-sharpens easily, so I'm pretty sure that it's 440. It's my understanding that AB uses ATS-34 a...

I travel a lot in my business and usually carry a couple of SB's in my checked luggage for "click therapy" in my hotel room but I always make sure that I travel with a type that has a removable spring and it's not packed with the knife. Perhaps you'll be able to locate one of the older kit stilettos...

You're talking about some serious thumb exercises between now and then.

Shouldn't be a problem - especially since a lot of these pieces came from
Texasmad in the first place

Thanks to all for the nice comments. Actually, at the time this picture was taken, this was one of three. Since then it's been downsized to about 110 of my favorites and the rest went to the sales stock shelves. I still try to add at least a couple a month, but just one of these cases holds about 15...

About 2 years on that case.

Yup! Camel bone, but Glenn's guess of pre-ban would be sweet if you
could find (or afford) one.

Here's a pic of one of my halfgrinds

Haven't bought any of the "switchline" stilettos for a while, but the split
you're referring to is (at least on the older models) a replacable spring
inserted much like the springs on the "magic knife" DIY stiletto kits. The
backspring and kickspring are two different pieces. Hope that helps.
