What are the bottom two knives? They look great.
Thanks. I built them.
The one on the top (pic below) has an off-the-shelf blade, spring/lock, and blade release mechanism, all with some modification. The stainless steel liners, solid stainless steel bolsters, SS lock release mechanism, and micarta handle scales I made from scratch. The firing button is a flat, checkered, low-profile magazine release button for a 1911 pistol.
The bottom knife has the same blade, spring/lock, release mechanism and button. The stainless steel liners and bolsters are from a manual production stiletto (Rite Edge) which I modified for an auto. The bolsters are welded to the liners. I made the handle scales and lock release mechanism.
Both knives are 10-7/8ths" long open with all-screw construction.
If you're interested you can read all about them in this thread- https://bladeforums.com/threads/a-trio-of-stilettos-lots-of-pictures.1407974/
I have an infatuation with the the folding stiletto, both manual and auto going back over 40 years. But I only really started to act on that infatuation in the past five years. Keeping these knives next to my tv chair so I can fondle them often is my way of making up for lost time.
