Self-lock Bradshaw

[Thomason]

Here is one I picked up from our own "Mad Mike" Robuck a while back. Bailey Bradshaw - forged W2 and stag, about 2.5 inches. Bailey made this one with the Scott Sawby self-lock. I have absolutely no idea how it works but it sure does. The knife locks when opened, to unlock and close you press on the little thumb ramp on the end of tang, shown in the third picture. Cool little piece of cutlery. Thanks Mike, thanks Bailey.

Nice pictures, Rob. Now I miss that little knife. It was the second self lock Bailey made after the prototype he carries. Glad it has found such a good home.

Rob, I think your addiction to obtaining more and more of great knives is getting close to or exceeding mine. Great Score, I would bet Mike regrets letting that one go.

I like that one! I've got one of Bailey's folding bowies that uses the Sawby self lock. I got it from Vince awhile back. Bailey Bradshaw makes a nice knife for sure. :thumbup:

I think the picture is Vince's.

Nice folders you guys! :thumbup:

The Sawby self lock is pretty slick.

Very nice, good shot of that edge too, looks to be a good slicer!

I really like all of Bailey's work myself, fixed and folding. I've been trying to afford one of his tail locks for quite some time now. Rob and Peregrin: beautiful blades!!
