She is an American Staffordshire Terrier. Part of the same family as Pits! They’re such great dogs!

My last one passed in November. She was a stereotype, black, one eyed, battle cropped ears and missing some teeth since she was a trainer. She was rescued from the streets. Despite her job she was a gentle dog who wouldn’t fight a dog unless allowed and totally gentle with all humans. Yours looks like a gem

Hope these still qualify as traditional. If not, moderators please delete.

Sorry to hear of her passing. I agree, they’re great dogs. I didn’t plan on getting mine, she sort of stumbled into my life and I’m better for it. I had a Doberman that randomly passed at 3 years old and three months later this little one entered my life.

wouter1967 Love the early no dot and two dot.
(wasn't so fond of sharpening them prior to 3 or 4 dot, tho.)

I'm also not fond of sharpening the convex edge.
The newer ones are just easier to maintain.
But back in the day many folding knives were standard convex.
(But I'm sure this is not new to you)

I just scored this big beast ( about 9.5" open) on Ebay for $15.



I don't have a use for a lockback....excuse me " SAF•T•LOK" knife this big, but I just had to check one out for myself and the price was cheap enough.

Nice one.
Forgive me for asking ... maybe it's the lighting and/or angle.
Is the lockbar/"Saf-T-Lok" bar present?

I'm sure it's sucked down into the well as the tang rolls over it.

Yeah, it's looking like these are one lockback you've gotta press pretty far to disengage.
They have deep gimping on them too, so hopefully they aren't too stiff or it'll be hell on the thumb.
It's a mid position lockback, so maybe it won't be too bad.


Btw anyone else find it funny that the art in the advertisement depicts the knife with another of their advertisements for it ?
