Custom Barry Wood Mk.1 folder. This blade has a grind that I've never seen before, has an unsharpened "false edge". Most solid lock-up of any Wood folder I've ever seen, as solid as any fixed blade. Maroon Micarta scales. Newer triangle logo, probably made in the early 80's, prior to Mike Irie joining the business. Serial # 1187. Near mint condition, has the usual rotation marks. Never used, never carried.

Handle scales rotate at large pin, locks open and locks closed. Arguably the strongest lock made.

Below are 2 links to the patent, along with pictures.

Hi Guy, It depends on several things and pictures may help to determine, but if that is an MK1 with micarta scales avg. market price today would be around U$300. Hope this helps.
