US Army Edge co OTF
Hello, gentleman, here is the recent knife i got. It seems somebody decided to upgrade edge co otf - super automatic/ nato military type. But i never saw US Army - fort Wayne engraving. Does anybody have something similar?

Interesting hand made OTF. How does it work? Smooth? Lock Up?

First one I can ever remember.
PS- As long as you're there, how about sticking it in Putins pie hole.

i doubt if my entire knife collection would be enough to get through even half of his security guards.whippersnapper wrote: ↑Thu Mar 03, 2022 7:35 pm First one I can ever remember.

Very cool knife! Looks like a customized "Super automatic", I like that it is screwed together!
Re: US Army Edge co OTF
That is a nice knife.

I believe it to be a shop-made knife, rather than a modified factory knife.

Re: US Army Edge co OTF
I agree with Bill. . . .
the bolster looks to be a machined billet of metal.
maybe aluminum ?
NATO OTFs are zinc alloy or other alloy with a plating on them.
NATOs repaired have the shiny plating micro flake off,
leaving a grey metal.

Re: US Army Edge co OTF
Thank you for your answers. Maybe someone decided to create a clone of NATO otf from what he has.
I'll disassemble it and make more photos

That's a very interesting knife. I look forward to seeing the inside. I'd love to know the story behind it, but I doubt we ever will.
Thanks for posting it. This is one of the main reasons why I like this forum- seeing unusual switchblades that I would otherwise never see (especially one-off's and hand/shop made knives).
I've done multiple Google searches using various search criteria looking for that knife, in the unlikely event that a previous owner had maybe posted pics of it, but I found nothing. I think it's great that it now has a presence on the internet where others like myself can admire it .
