Does anyone know if Warren Osborne still makes his Sybex and Police Mate folders? It has been ages since I have seen either of these. Thanks in advance.

Hey, Dex.
I'll try to remember to ask him tomorrow at the show.

police mate?
that is interesting...any pictures?

 

[Dexter Ewing]

Bob -thanks!

Underdog - check this out: http://www.retting.com/Knives Only/Knife Photos/osborne/osbpmcfl.jpg . I recall seeing this exact folder one time except it had a skeltonized handle and was light as a feather.

He doesn't make either knife anymore. He said once a production company picks up the design, he will not make it as a custom.

Bob -thanks for asking him. I was afraid of that. I can see a lot of the Sybex in the Benchmade 940, but I haven't seen a production Police Mate. I am starting to regret not getting that skeletonized carbon fiber Police Mate I saw at a show a couple years back

I agree Dex. You should have grabbed that puppy! Oh well, we all have stories of "missing the boat". Warren's stuff is so nice.

Dex I see a lot of blade similarity in the Police Mate and the BM 940, and the coincidence of it also having a top lock, albeit different, is another common trait I notice.

Do you have an image of the Sybex? I've not seen one of those. The Police Mate's have been on the ForSale section a couple of times and I saw one at the Lewisburg Show, nice handling knife.
