Frank B swingaurd
I was looking at a site called allaboutpocketknives.com and noticed they had a Frank B 9 inch swingaurd.Is Frank B making nine inch swingaurds? The reason i ask is the blade had an oval shape lock like the eleven inch ones. There is only one pin on bottom bolster. HELP

Re: Frank B swingaurd
See the oval lock hole and only one pin on bottom.I hope these pics help'
Re: Frank B swingaurd
That is a swivel bolster release and nit a swing guard. It is a REAL Frank B...He started the oval hole about two years ago to help stop blade peek from occurring. The single pin only is for swing guards..
Re: Frank B swingaurd
Sorry for wasting your time. I will double check before posting. I just want a nice swingaurd thats real' Sorry Tom'
Re: Frank B swingaurd
Perry Knife Works has a few models of Frank Beltrame 11" swing guards. PVKvegas has what is likely the lowest price for a new Latama 11" swing guard ($500 with dark horn handles).
I'm not recommending for or against them, just mentioning what's currently available in terms of new, genuine Italian swing guards.
