Trying to find out what this knife is...

[mrszeontestpilot]

I saw this knife before, and I can't remember who made it, only that it was made in Japan. I've been unable to find anything like it either. It was perhaps a whittler, as it has 3 blades, but each of the blades locked individually, like three back locks (lockbacks?). The handles were either bone, or something made to look like it (probably the latter).

Anyone?

Either a Parker or a frost. Without pictures or a better description it will be hard hitting the nail on the head.

For sure! You might ask in Bernard Levine's forum

Yeah. Thought I'd give it a shot. If there's anything similar out there, I'd be interested in knowing about them also.

This might be close enough to what you are describing.

Maybe something like this?

Rough Rider Dogleg Stockman. Can't tell for sure how many locks, but seems to be close to what you are looking for. Maybe?
