My tripod just busted.
It's funny. The big one and the little one nests inside perfectly. Each end is dead even at 90 degrees. Coincidence?

Heres a crappy closeup.

They have a bolster like that of a copperhead pattern and feature a lockback. Hence copperlock.

Which begs the question; why is a copperhead called a copperhead?

That was one of the two options I was considering, but it seemed so far out in left field that I would've felt foolish suggesting it had I been wrong. The other had something to do with copper liners. Anyway thanks for clearing that up.

Here's an SS version wearing red bone. I got it as a gift at my Eagle Scout ceremony. To date it's unused and uncarried. It feels so nice in my hand, I'm constantly tempted to slip it into the EDC pile....

Theyre great edc knives. The walk and talk is superb too. You can open them one handed by pinching the blade. Great if you smoke a pipe.

Or are they Copperheads that don't grow a lock until they get older
