Sal Glesser's Chris Reeve "Lock 45"

Very interesting design... thanks for sharing this Sal and Deacon.

What I wouldn't give to get a quick peek at Sal's personal knife collection!!! :D
 
I love this knife, seems that the pivot may be the only weak point, incredible design, and to think its from the 70's!

Not sure how well it would work on a four inch bladed knife, but on a knife like Sal's with a two inch blade, thick frame and robust pivot, it should never be a problem. Heck, I'm not really sure how much more rigidity the G-10 or CF side that folks seem to crave on framelocks offers.

Thanx much for doing that Paul. Beautiful pics. We appreciate your skill and willingness to help.

Wow.
It also really shows what an incredibly beautiful patina can arise on the handle
of one of these after a couple of decades. :thumbup:

Thanks!
 
Maybe I missed it, but why is it called the "Lock 45?" It is very cool, it is more "integral" to me than the end result R.I.L.
