Hey all
I was wondering if you could help me identify the knife that "started it all". I have veryyy limited info on it, as I only handled it for an hour or so about two years ago!! I found it on a chair where a guest in my hotel had been sitting, and returned it to him when he came back for the night.
I could tell from his relief and thanks that it was a much loved knife, so I'm sure it wasn't a $10 gas station special. (You never know though) Its going to be extra hard though because I don't have pics!! But here's what I remember:
Almost definitely USA made
Full metal handles, yet lightweight (I don't count in ounces though like you guys haha)
Handles had cut outs, kind of like on a gerber paraframe but obviously not the exact same
Pocket clip
Blade length no more than 4" but not less than 3". I'd say 3.5" if I had to bet
Blade style: I honestly don't remember... I don't think it was a recurve, it MIGHT have been a drop point
It was all metal, no g10 or FRN just metal handles, no black blade coating, with a logo I can't remember printed on the blade
Opening mechanism: I THINK it was a thumb stud, I'm almost definite it wasn't a thumb hole
Locking mechanism: I'm not sure, but I think it was a liner lock or a frame lock. It DEFINITELY wasn't axis/lock back/compression/nothing too fancy
Anyway I'm sorry there's no photos but this is the best I'm remembering. If you have anymore questions I can try and answer then let me know!! I figure this is a hell of a long shot, but if you don't try you'll never know! I'm really hoping one of you can help, I've been reading the EDC thread for months hoping to catch a photo haha
Much appreciated
