I've got two Frank B's, one was a rescale that I bought at sharper deals, the other has abalone scales and a safety, I'm not sure, but I think it came from AIK. Both function well (I wish I had a safety on the rescale), open with a very good snap and are straight with no play up down or sideways whe...

Merry Christmas to you all!
