Ok you are fascinating me way too much today. Can you elaborate on this one piece handle bowie titanium framelock. What do you mean by one piece handle? As in integral like the Sr-1 or the BM Anthem?

Also I wasn't joking earlier, that tin knife isn't tin is it?

The Tin knife is so called because it fits perfectly into an Altoids Tin.

This isn't mine but mine looked almost identical just a little longer.

So it is like an integral sort of, not even sort of, that is exactly what it is. Awesome! This is like an unknown integral knife. Do you know what year it might be from?

He was makin' them in the late 80s- 2000. He did a Tanto and a few other blade styles. If you Google AG Russell K87. 1987 was the year AG produced a similar knife using the same concept and lock as Crawford, (hence the 87 in K87) but since Crawford didn't think to trademark or register the lock type AG used it after sending a what he felt was appropriate royalty, (IIRC he paid somewhere between $5K-$10K and eventually Pat just cashed the check.) AG decided he satisfied a royalty fee and he could make them all he wanted. Eventually he changed it just enough so no one could claim it was Pat's design.

Notice any similarities? The Crawford was about $300-$350 in the late 80s an AG Russell One Hand Knife was under $100, probably the one reason I haven't replaced the Crawford aside from the price is because I have an AG Russell version that works just as well as Crawford's.

Again not my pic but my knife is nearly identical just a little more worn. If you can pick one up I would, they were unique knives and fit inside a wallet perfectly. They were 2/3rds the size of Pat's knives.
