So you were the one. You old dog.


SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mckgreg]

Yep.

Very cool. How does the bolster release work?

 

[mckgreg]

The bolster release is a lot like Cargill's. Except, when you push on the bolster sideways, it doesn't have to push the whole backspring to release the lock. The backspring is shorter and has a center pivot. It requires a lot less movement to release it. The precision is absolutely incredible. I will post a photo that might help explain it. Thanks for the interest !!

This should help.

Thanks for the photo. It does give me a better idea of how it works. I think you better send it to me so I can fully grasp the concept.

Congratulations, I have only handled one and it was too sweet. Great knife from a heck of a nice and skilled guy. I know the fit and finish on it is second to none.

if you still have the Bolster release I'd be interested in seeing it.
Thanks,
