I am a big fan of Kabar switchblades also. Here is a couple that were hard for me to find. Jig bone and second cut stag.

Thanks. The jig bone examples, for some reason, are hard to find as are the yellow celluloid. Stag is the most common example found.

Great looking flylock! Is the blade tang stamped with an "S"?
