Swinden construction thread
Posted: Sat Apr 07, 2018 1:04 pm
The Swinden construction method for pinning the blades began about the same time as the Delrin revolution, about 1960/1961. We know that some of the patterns never did use this method. My first question is: "Does the 194OT small linerlock use this method?"
And secondly, can we start a list here of the post 1960 Schrade knives that did not use the Swinden method. I will start it off with the big linerlocks.
7OT, LB7, LB8, etc.
51OT
and some smaller lockbacks, the #5 patterns such as the 5OT
All the 5 1/4 inch folding hunters
Please add to the list!
