Strange new sample room knife?

Redshanks,

Does the mystery knife have a hollow grind by chance? The fall line is certainly much more pronounced than most other 152S seem to exhibit.

Cool piece, no matter what.

It appears in the photos to be a fully flat grind, without the rounded transition at the choil of the production flat grind, and even to an extent in the later production hollow grind. I'd bet that both guard and butt are cross pinned. A bit of vinegar would tell. Chances are that while the furniture and pins are the same color, they are slightly different alloys, and would tarnish at different rates.

All this aside, it is a very interesting rendition of the old 152. Black delrin with a textured finish is interesting. And the black/brass combo is a favorite of mine and many others here. Know a friendly doc or pipefitter who would x-ray it?:D

Yes,

I should've looked at ALL the pictures before squeezing off an errant shot.

My bad.

I saw no errant shot Bill. Looking at photos is not the best way to determine a grind as you know. I can only determine a hollow grind on a 152 blade a percentage of the time at best, and then only on an angled shot that enhances the curved arc line effect. This is one of those birds that is best determined in hand.
