Nice Tom! That's quite a "few"! lol...I only have a total of one to share, among my tiny Falcon group. Mine seems to have a different amount/placement of scale pins.

That's a nice collection.
Love the swedged flat-grind blade profile on the 9 and 11 inch swing guards. I wish I could buy a switchblade with a blade that looked like that.

Tom, have you ever seen any manual swingers other than the brass 11"s that have the little circular dent in the middle of the bolsters? All the brass 11s I have seen had that but none of the others did.

Those ones had this weird design where a small tab came up from the liners then the bolster was dented to attach to the flap. It's so weird they did it that way considering they had been attaching bolsters to liners just fine without having to do that convoluted method that left a dent in the bolsters.

I have had three of the brass 11's and all had the dent in them. Only ones that had that mark. I agree that it is strange......

I tried to undent them one time but they didn't come out all that great. It probably would be easier to just make new bolsters.

We haven't paid for cable or Tv since about 1998. Just an old antenna on the roof. Costs enough for this damn shitty internet that don't work half the time.

PS- Haven't been able to find Hamms since I mentioned it to you the other day. Had to go back to Natural light. Seems like everytime I start to like something it goes away.

I know what you mean, now I can't find any natural light in the 6 proof at the dollar store. What's up with that?

Don't think I ever seen the 6% stuff. Unless you are talking about the natural ice stuff.
