WTB Frank B. swingers

Post by hwevers »

Looking for 11" Frank B. swinger w/ original abalone, not a rescale. Dagger or bayonet, MUST BE STRAIGHT in both directions.
Also the same but Bamboo scales. Thanks for looking.

Best regards,

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.

Jules:
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.

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'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?
