True Meaning Of Interframe?

[narruc1]

Maybe someone can set me straight... I get a little confused when I see, or hear the word <i>"Interframe".</i> It could be that I'm just getting it mixed up with another word. <p>Anyway, I was always under the impression that <i>"Interframe"</i> meant that the frame was one piece of metal, and not two seperate halves, with liners, put together with screws.<p>Am I totally confused, please let me know?

Hi Bob!

After our discussion the other day a bit of research was called for.

I believe interframe refers the method of construction where each side of the handle is one piece, with the inlays set into an interior space removed from the handle. The inlay never touches the perimeter of the handle, but is always surrounded by some of the handle material. Please take note of this description from AZCK (some of our favorite people!):

Judy Gottage-interframe lockback, 3 5/8" closed, 2 7/8" hand rubbed ATS34 blade, integral stainless sideplates with polished interior, engraved "bolster" area, premium pearl inlays, stainless lockbar and backspacer, zipper case.

It follows to reason that a one piece knife would not have a back spacer...interframe should not be confused with integral.

Thanks Michael, that clears up a little, but look at the picture I put up. What would you call this knife from Scott Sawby?<p>It shows no screws, and the handle is one solid piece.<p>Thank you buddy!
