I've never seen one at all.

I too love those, in fact I have one I got from you several years ago. Stainless blade excellent for cutting fruit such as apples. Raises eyebrows, but what's wrong with a little excitement in life, your own and others watching you dice up stuff.

I did sell a few but I couldn't remember to who I sold them to. They are a nice quality knife

I bought a few of these on Ebay back in 2004 or 2005 from a lady in Australia. We communicated for a bit and she told me
her father who was a Knife Maker apprentice in Solingen, Germany back in the 50's bought up all the remaining stock of these from a company in Italy in the early 90's. She had them in 9", 11" and 13", silver or brass. Very nice quality knife

Maybe the late 80's or early 90's but I'm guessing

Duke rescaled one for me in zebra bone, not too long ago. It was a 13-incher. It also got new solid NS bolsters. Have a gander.

The one I have in the picture isn't a lock back, It's a bolster release manual and that's what made it different.
Nice knife you have there in the link

You're absolutely correct, slippies and lockbacks, never saw a pivot bolster afore ...

I'm going through my Falcons today and come across two oddities. The first is a 13" Falcon Clip and has the bolster release and a patent no. on the tang.
Didn't know I had this one. Then the second 13" falcon came up with the Kissing crane emblem and KC49 on the tang.

Keep looking through the drawers and you'll find a whole bunch of them that you didn't know you have.

That's not really funny! I'm really getting into looking at my blades again so I go in a closet and and on the upper shelve are two boxes full of Khukuris
that I forgot I started collecting. Pretty funny to me at the time but ohhhhhhhhhhh so sick.

You could look till your 100 years old and never find all the ones you have!
BTW, do you still have the one that Smallfoot made for ya?
