Leverlock/Birdsbeak

Post by sprink »

Recently acquired this nice leverlock from a friend and fellow collector , Believed to be from the 80's , Has an interesting panther logo on blade fires like a rocket with nice dark wood scales , it measures 9 1/2" overall ,Not sure who made this particular one but it is well made .
(still looking for one with the blade grind that the one pictured with stag has in 9 1/2" over all length )

Remember these Jim?

Don't know why It posted a double picture. Won't seem to let me edit it. I'm still experimenting posting with some old phones.

Yep, kind of miss the old Claudester. Thought maybe he would check in once in awhile after showing up again awhile back.

BTW- For those that don't know, SWB was an old long gone knife forum (stilettos without blades) that was popular with some of us old timers. I think this was one of the last forum knives done over there. Hard to believe it was 16 years ago.

Did I make a mistake on these? I thought they were part of the Brad S fiasco?

These were from Claudster's old forum "Stilettos without Buttons." Steve always liked those Kissing Crane non autos.

I could have swore you were a member and got one.

Brad Skipper knives were marked wSb....Worthless Sorry Bastard, I think :twisted:
