Lone Wolf City Knives

[airyq]

........know I'm getting older, but my apologies, I could see little/no difference in both the Snakewood folders - though there is a difference with the Micarta version of Leslie Tomville 's

That's what I meant. You may be getting older but still sharp enough to notice the details!

B brownshoe told
us the main difference. He wrote that the first edition did not have “City Knife” stamped on the blade tang. However, if you look closely, my knife has city knife stamped in very small letters on both sides of the pivot. Just guessing here, but I would bet they decided it was easier and more visible to stamp the tang rather than the tiny stamps on the pivot. That is the only minor difference I can discern, and it is not a change that would be difficult to implement at the factory. In fact, it was probably a pain for them to place that tiny stamp on the pivot. I had to blow the photograph up to make the pivot stamp visible so it looks a bit blurred. However, in real
life it is crisp and well done.

Mine does not have City Knife around the pivot. It does have a very small evergreen tree on the tang, which is the Fantoni logo. So tiny you can barely see it. Knife came in a tin along with a leather slip.
