Comanche taskmaster lockback ?

[zed6309]

I picked this up sunday from a market, the blade had a lot of side to side play and the bolsters was loose, I re fitted the bolster and blade, re profiled the blade to a nice point and polished it up, I've looked on line but cant find much out about these, I was thinking Japanese? I see frost did some with comanche on the blades , this has no stamp just the etching , very nice bone covers , anyone know about these

Nice save Paul! I don't know anything about your knife, other than it's really cool! I'm a sucker for big ole' folders and your new Comanche ticks all the boxes for me! Very nice knife!

Paul,
Here is a picture of Comanche Taskmaster 4 that I thought look similar? The auction that sold the 2 knives listed them as Brass and two piece wooden gripped pocket knife with folding 4 inch blade and the other as pocket knife with antler grips and 3.5 inch blade named Comanche Taskmaster No. 4.

Frost also used the Comanche name but I did not find any Frost using Comanche Taskmaster name. So I do not know who made your knife but it is still a good looking

That frame style with slanted bolsters sure looks familiar, but I'm drawing a blank right now.

Bone-Handle Comanche

Trying to find out more about this knife and Comanche Cutlery (Pakistan) in general. I bought it at the local antique mall.

The blade release is extremely stiff. I have to use a thick bit of cloth to get enough pressure on it to close the blade safely.

Welcome to AAPK. Your knife sounds dangerous! And not very useful. Be careful!

Maybe someone knows more than what has already been shared in the prior posts in this thread, but if so I’ll be surprised.
