Great assortment. I like the Spydercos in particular! Makes me think I should post up a photo of all of mine...

Here's a Miller Brother's lockback with a skinning tool on the end. Only made for a few years. 7 inches closed.
Also a couple of bone New York Knife Co. lockbacks, some stag Henckels and a Napanoch.

Absolutely spectacular knives Mike! Is your stag Henckels swinguard an ancient antique, or can they be found for purchase somewhere? Thanks, Mark!ObsidianEdge wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 6:14 pm Here's a Miller Brother's lockback with a skinning tool on the end. Only made for a few years. 7 inches closed.

Thanks guys for the nice comments. Mark, Henckels quit making its own pocketknives around 1960. The swing guard is probably pre WWI.

You need to move to Arkansas. Not only can anyone who can legally own a firearm can carry it concealed without a license, they can carry any blade, pocket knife, bowie knife, straight razor, sword or sword cane with total impunity...Ridgegrass wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 1:02 pm Somebody, with any level of intelligence, explain to the world any rational reason at all for banning a knife that locks back ????? Are straight, fixed blades banned too????? J.O'.

Most of these are single blade Gerber silver knights with a few 2 bladed folders thrown in...

Gerber 1052 LB stag. Great little knife, bank vault lock up and no wobble but smooth easy pivot. And my fave GEC #85 with it.

Re: In praise of single blade lockbacks...
Your Queen sort of took my breath away. I guess I just wasn't expecting so much Winterbottom goodness in one place.
Re: In praise of single blade lockbacks...
Me too, thanks Quick. That one came from one of the Hawaiian Islands courtesy of Volcano Q. Seemed prettier than any other winter bottom I could find.Quick Steel wrote: ↑Sat Feb 12, 2022 6:11 pm Your Queen sort of took my breath away.
