Ah, so it is a swivel bolster. That just goes to show you can’t make judgements and absolutes by looking at internet pictures.

Great very early transitional . 8)

I have a couple of bayonet bladed transitionals ,and one was also thought to be a picklock when I posted it some years ago.
These 2 are only marked INOX but are very high quality transitional knives with nice horn.
Excuse the older pictures and missing bolster on the black one ,I am having it remedied when I get time.

That one with the yellow striped horn is super cool! They are rare to find with a swivel bolster and bayo blade. Probably some of the earliest swivel bolster knives were these. I have had a couple 11” like it.

Send the one that needs a bolster to WI-collector, he’s the best for vintage knives. Best work, best prices and best turn around time.

The original posters knife is really great!

Hi Mike

I can't use Bill .

He wont accept knives from the UK ,which I totally understand.

Jeremy has kindly offerred to fix it for me some time back but I was letting things calm down for a while this side of the pond ,with the knife trouble I have had.

Hope your well mate.
