Photos For the love of Lockbacks! (Traditionals only)

Dave you have an amazing collection of LB's but I especially like these.

Dwight thank you again for your valued comments. If it wasn't for Blade Forums most of my collection would never see the light of day.
My wife smiles and says "that's nice Dear" which leaves me with Suzee and she doesn't care either.

After Western was sold to Camillus, they used some of the knife parts to make knives. The scales are the same.

As is your LF&C! What is the closed length on that knife?

 

[Will Power]

Mike, that Henckels....more than Top

Thanks, Will

 

[Mike Robuck]

Thanks Will. I've always thought the blade to handle ratio was a bit odd on that knife. I've posted these two Henckels lockbacks numerous times over the years, but they belong in here as well.

Be careful or this could happen to you.. haha! This is a documentation picture. Somehow I went from a user to a hoarding collector. Its a tough deal but I need to pick a few I cant live without and start trying to get rid of the rest. Most are out of site and out of mind and its starting to get to me. It gets a little uncomfortable when I try to take more than two knives with me at a time. I love a good lockback!!

You can mail them directly to me at .......

Those Henckel’s, oh man!

 

[black mamba]

Ditto the praise, Mike, the stag is incomparable!

 

[Mike Robuck]

Thanks guys, for the nice comments on the stag Henckels. Bought them off of that large auction site many years ago. A guy was selling knives from a display case. Those were the only two I could afford at the time.

I did not see how to send you a message; the LF&C lockback is 4 7/16 inches closed.
