I have two nice Frank B picklocks. each is in very good condition. Black & white is a bayonet blade, cream and dark brown is a swedge blade, both blades are as they came new, never sharpened or used. Each handle is fine, one standard black / white horn, the other is cream front with dark brown back. No cracks, no bugs, both work exactly as they should. Both are nine inch --
Here are the issues, both are a little hard to release the lock plate. The lock plates are stiff, but doable. The other issue is the blades are not centered in the handle when closed, they are not rubbing the liner, simply not centered -To many collectors, this simply goes with the territory,
some are easy, some are a little harder -
I will be the first to admit, I am probably too picky. I collect only Latamas and the numbered edition Frank B's. These are two standard Frank B's I bought simply because they were picklocks -So, I am offering both for $300, pretty much two for the price of one. I'll cover shipping -
I will take photos and can send them to an email. I have tried a few times to upload from my phone, but no luck yet -So if this sounds like a pretty good deal, PM me with an email and I'll send photos -- John

But, if anything else, they'll be well taken care of and with about 70 or 80 of their Beltrame relatives! I even have one of their "grand-pappys" here, a BV&F, for them to visit with!!
Re: Two Frank B PICK LOCKS-KNIVES ARE SOLD
Oh, no guilt implied my friend! If I wasn't already in the doghouse for my knife overbudget spending, I sure would have jumped on them myself! That 2013 BEF model is super cool, and getting really hard to come by.NorthCarolinaDude wrote: Sat Jul 11, 2026 2:46 am
