both you and Vagrant have steered me in the "right direction" in the past ,so I offer thanks for the feedback ! KS forum ? I'll get right on it !
and I will proceed with "caution" Oh, and me havin' "any other thoughts"?.... Nope, haven't got a clue !
Jagman!
Just recieved my "bolster release" today ! (what a fine day it is !) it's got the same markings ,on the tang ,as you described in your post ! I love this knife ! but it' a "bitch" to open , a little work should fix it , huh ?
Glad to hear you like your new knife Straydog, do you mean the bolster is hard to flip to open? If so, I had the same problem with one of mine.
To fix it I filed down the locking pin that holds the blade closed just a little bit - this way you dont have to move the bolster so far before the backspring lock clears the blade, If this is your problem too, go easy with a small fine file - just a little at a time and keep trying it.
You could always click it a 1000 times and see if this eases it up
Whats next?

right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think
I've forgotten this before.
Jagman,
Yes , that's the problem, I'll be very gentle with the file ! I'm sure that'll do the trick ! As far as clickin' it 1000 times....... I don't think so, I've already got a dent in my forefinger, and it hurts like "hell"
You asked "Whats next ?" do you mean , questions about "bolster release knives" ?....... none , if you mean "what's the next knife" ? Well , It'll be either a 13" white pearl stiletto or 11" honey horn swinguard ! I'll have to be sneaky tho , this time the "little woman " is gettin' "concerned "
I was referring to whats next as far as new knives, keep the lady happy - have the knives delivered somewhere else I have mine shipped to work now - much less hassle.

Cheap and reasonable quality.
Fast and tight ....what more do you want?
It would appear that a little less "banana blade" would be nice to have.
Greyblade
It's just the pic ,the blade is fine.
Mine is stamped STAINLESS on one side and on the other UD96A000103 PATENT.
I HAVE THE MAMOTH AND I FREAKIN LOVE HER lil killer baby!
This is vintage by Jndiana? I also love BOLSTER BUTTON OPEN AND RELEASE LIKE the 9.5in Jndiana these are both super sharp and tight as my first Gf.
How many patent ones were made? Any historical details you can add?

Some are disgusted that I treat EVERY piece in my collection as defense weapon for daily carry(very carefully!) & may endure scratches! Even my most gorgeously expensive babes WERE CREATED TO KILL AND MAIM JUST THE SAME! THEY ARE CALLED KNIVES DUDE!
