CORRECTION!!!
NOT a swinger in abalone. Just a regular bolster release.
I already have a swinger,as well as a pick lock.
My apologies to all.

Thanks for the info.
I had heard about bamboo scales, and found a video on the internet. From what I could see they looked more like plain brown wood than bamboo, but it wasn't much of a close up. They were dated 1993 or 2003, I forget which. Definatly Frank B.

Re: WTB Frank B. swingers
Might be thinking cocobolo wood? I’m pretty sure Frank never released a bamboo scaled knife. I have a nine abalone with file work if you are still looking.

I'll pass on the nine, i really like the 11:'s.

Re: WTB Frank B. swingers
I've seen some FBs that were described as Bamboo. At least I think they were FBs.
Anyways, hwevers; I have an AGA 11" Abalone picklock. Are you saying you are not looking for that one?
