Conable

[sharpasamarble]

Anyone know anything about Matt Conable's work b4 William Henry.
I have a 3.5" long titanium folder with integral liner lock (kinda like a Sebenza)
I dont see his work talked about....
value on this type of piece?

I had one of those. It was a mighty fine piece. Matt doesn't make knives like that anymore either. You might find a Boye/Conable collector that would pay top dollar for it, which probably be around $350, but I am guessing. Mine had a custom etching on it from Francine Martin. I wish I had kept that knife. I can't afford Francine's custom work anymore.

Yeah, Matt Conable still makes nice customs - I saw about six at Blade 2000 and was really impressed. Several had a similar type frame lock. His modern custom designs are 2-3 times more that the William Henry line but are definately worth the price. You might call and ask him if he has any customs on hand and possible pricing for his older work.
