The knife has covers (bone, wood, micarta, horn, whatever) and liners (brass, steel, whatever), but no bolsters.

Shadow by Moki

Moki puts out a fine knife and that lockback is a grand example:thumbup:

Randy You got it correct, that Sodbuster is a decent rendering of a knife with no bolsters, thus it qualifies Of course, some Shadows go further and have no liners either but that's an offshoot of the definition, an ultra light interpretation.

Some wonderful examples have been shown, it's especially interesting that modern,contemporary custom makers strongly favour the shadow approach particularly when allied to tough but beautiful materials such as Micarta, very effective on Trappers and the like. Shows that Traditional knives retain their roots but are unafraid to experiment with appropriate materials., as it should be.

Robin Wonderful Shadow Farmer's Jack et al. shows Shadows have been around a long time too.

Thanks, Will

I'll tell you what Jack, that Stag Whittler may have seen a great deal of use but it's a fine knife all round!

Thanks, Will

On alox SAKs, the whole cover is a bolster!

No bolsters on this Alaskan traditional.

But where does the bolster begin or end on a clam-shell? :thumbup:
