So maybe long stainless bolsters and Cocobolo scales on the McBurnette/Mar mid lock back?

too bad I have no money, I could see myself collecting every version of the sage.
 
Hi Paul,

I thought to use long stainless bolsters and walnut. I thought Al Mar used white paper micarta or walnut on the early models?

Hi USSR,

Do you mean an automatic or just a button lock?

If I recall correctly, the box said rosewood on this one from 1981, but I haven't seen the box in twenty years, so I could easily be wrong. :o

I would snap up a couple of Sages like this in a heartbeat.:D
 
Yeah, I took that picture in the shade, so the color of the wood didn't really come out. In direct sunlight the reds almost glow.
 
So what are we looking at for the Collins Bolt action lock in terms of handle material. FRN? Probably cost prohibitive with the tooling.

Haven't decided. FRN was his choice (Blackie Collins ingtroduced FRN handles to the Industry in the Gerber LST). But as mentioned, tooling would be very high. We need a bridge across the top of the handle for the lock to work.

Does the bolt-action lock work similarly to the axis lock? As much as I love Spydies, I really like the axis lock...

Just a button lock, the William Henry or Lone Wolf "Paul" type. Not that I wouldn't want an auto, but there aren't that many button lock knives around and I would like to see Spyderco's interpretation of the design. Thanks.

It is actually closer to the ball lock than the axis lock. It uses a coil spring to push a locking rod between the blade tang and the backspacer rather than using the tiny omega springs to push a crossbar running through the liners across the blade tang.
