Here are a few Tuna Valley lockbacks. The first 4 are made by Great Eastern, the last one is by Queen, all from 2012.

Thought I'd throw in my 2 cents worth...couple of Buck 110 clones. My father and I carried these back in the 1970's from the time I was around 12 years old until I was 18. Top one's a Schrade LB7...bottom one's a Craftsman.

When I went to college, I graduated to the little Schrade LB5 at the top of this photo. Probably one of my favorite knives ever...

Will, your stag #83 is phenomenal! If the pile side is even half as good, it's a show-stopper, every time.

This 30 year old BuckLite still works, in spite of breaking the tip off and regrinding it back to a point.

Here's a cool Case lockback with a bunch of different inlay materials... turquoise, red coral, mother of pearl and pakkawood.

I rarely carry a lock-back these days, and I doubt I have many more than half a dozen traditional lock-backs left. Here's one which sometimes sees some winter coat-pocket time, EKA 88 in Normark clothing, had this one around 30 years

A few more lockbacks for your perusal.

Very kind of you to say so Jeff, thanks. I have to tell you-brag-that it is as good on the pile side too Interestingly, despite being gnarled and plenty of topography, it is thin panel Stag- They just did a grand job with the knife and Drop-Point is a big favourite of mine.
