For the Love of Liner Locks! (Traditionals only).

[Markeologist]

I did a search of BF history and found no thread devoted to traditional liner locks…lockbacks yes, but nothing for this particular locking design that goes back at least to early 20th Century as seen on some Cattaraugus models. Borrowed title from lockbacks thread, show your love here for traditional liner locks. To get things started, a couple of big ones, a #23 from GEC and #3 (Mountain Man) from Schatt & Morgan.

Good idea for a thread.
I don't currently possess any (my last one went AWOL around 1999~2000).
However, I'm watching the thread, despite not having one at this time. Who knows? There might be a (Sod Buster pattern) large RR locking Work Knife (I might be able to afford that one) in my future next year or the year after?

EDIT:
I was rong. I totally forgot my Marbles MR409 (see post #27)

Here's a Scout Trapper with End Cap that's a little less used for wear. It met a brush hog on it way through life.

Before it met the brush hog, this is what the Scout Trapper with End Cap Looked like.

Here's my Scout Trapper without end cap that's still in one piece and living in it's tube in a box marked for my grandson when my expiration date arrives.

Oooohhhhh Ive fallen for the Liner Lock craze this year bad and now wish I had incorporated it back into the TL-29 Customs I did years ago. I still have all the parts and will be doing do on the next one I get my hands on for sure!

This knife has been posted all over the place and is the reason I now appreciate Liner Locks so much. I hope to have many more in the future!

Good idea for a thread and it's a good idea on a knife at times. When you have a Traditional with a strong spring, having that extra security of a liner lock is desirable on work knives. I've never found the tab to interfere with grip or handling either, would have thought it would be a desirable feature on whittling knives?

First off, Queen Cutlery No. 06 Teardrop in ACSB. don't let anybody tell you D2 won't patina, it will. This is a marvellous work-knife, thin grind and agile great W&T too.

Another Queen Cutlery Teardrop, this time in the earlier WCSB, pile side. I also have one in Zebra Wood and another in Bird's Eye Maple, tidy pattern.

Queen Cutlery Copperhead, D2 in ACSB Very sturdy knife this no question.

The 'chatter' used to be that GEC's 73 pattern was 'iconic' (worn-out word...) but you don't see so many around recently. It's true it was their first pattern though and really helped garner appreciation and I certainly like them, vas trange of scales and fittings, here an 08 Stag liner lock Drop-Point, it certainly can do most tasks.
