I'm posting in the Traditional forum, mainly because Le Thiers has been around for a while.
I have a Le Thiers linerlock my wife bought for me some nine or ten years ago.
I do not have pics, but a brief description will suffice.
It is one of the thumbwheel knives, with a dark wood handle. My guess is cocobolo, but it might be ebony. It has no bolsters, and reminds me of a sodbuster.
The difference is that the thumbwheel is plain metal, with no inlay. I've checked their catalog, and found no such knife.
I'm a registered user, so I won't use the "v" word, and anyway, I'm not interested in selling it.
My wife was told that the knife had some rarity, since the designer passed away soon after, but I can't be sure that isn't kool-aid.
I would be interested in knowing if this knife has any special history above and beyond that of being a Le Thiers knife, and anything else anybody can tell me about it.
Thanks.
