For Trade: Schatt & Morgan File & Wire Swayback Clasp
Withdrawn for now, 2/3/11
I just got this in the other day as a warranty replacement for another F&W knife that was out of production. I like it but not enough to keep it. I made a few slices on some newspaper to check the edge. Other than that it has not been carried or used, just handled and inspected.
4 1/4 closed, ATS34 blade, nickel silver bolsters, brass liners, Morning Ash worm groove bone scales.
The walk and talk is solid and there is a half stop. Spring is about a 6 out of 10 with good snap. The blade can be pinched open pretty easily. The edge would need some work to get shaving sharp. There are a few cosmetic/finish issues. The back half of the nail pull has some light discoloration, there is a gap between the spring and the back of the blade in the open position, and the grind at the kick is not even on both sides. I have shown all of these items in the pictures below. Original box included.
All pictures taken 1/15/11.
In return I would be primarily interested in the following
> GEC #61 Half Congress with 440C blades
> GEC #53 Furtaker with 440C blades (trapper or muskrat setup are both fine)
> GEC #72 Lockback (either clip or wharncliffe blade)
Other offers are welcome.

Thanks.
