Thanks Bernie! Glad to hear it's original. More so surprised it was a forgotten material on the certificate. I think it's a very good looking knife (as they all are). Thanks again!

I'm a bit torn as to which one is my favorite - I am a big fan of swedge blades; personally I don't feel they get the love or attention they deserve. I don't like plain or dagger blades, but if you were ever gonna use a stiletto, a bayo would be entirely unsuitable for anything utilitarian other than stabbing as the edge angle wouldn't work well for anything. But the humble swedge brings to the table the best of both worlds, aesthetically pleasing from a collector's point of view, yet suitable for sharpening from that of a utilitarian. Of course I'm just projectin my own thoughts, all collectors are different, and if you ask 5 collectors what kind of blade they'd like to see on a display knife, you'll get at least 6 opinions lol...

If Frank and Sara were more accommodating to requests for small orders (see Rick's Memorial Switchblade thread#1), I'd be trying to make an order for a modern "transitional" throwback with n/s and said swedge...
Very nice! I love the look of a nice flat grind with swedge blade! Nice switchblade, I would never get rid of this gem too rare!
