Re: 1920's flatguard
The knife is not put together from 2 knives. The blade is original to the knife.
Unfortunately, at some point the blade was reversed and drilled and pinned in place-so the knife would not be a switchblade.
I know this because I rebuilt the knife.

Re: 1920's flatguard
The blade was reversed?? Like the sharp edge was on the locktab side? What a crazy way to aconvert a knife. How would that even work? If a second hole was drilled to keep it open, wouldn't it still have been easier to leave the blade unreversed?
