AGR Lock Back Folding Hunter

AGR Gunstock and Arkansas Hunter

Not perfect, but pretty good for a production knife

AGR LARGE Folding Hunter

AGR Sunfish (I call it The Kraken)

And this....

Holy Smokes, that Kraken is a BIG knife!!!

It locks, and it's in the back, is this okay?

Some "Sunday" knives. All are lockbacks. The last one is very slim and light. Had I been able to keep it, I would have carried it.

Are these knives of your creation?

 

[wolfeknives]

Dwight, yes they are designed and made by me.

Looks like a tail lock? Who is the maker, if you don't mind?
Very nice.

Those are superb, Wolfgang! Thanks for posting!

Well sir, I wish I possessed the eloquence required to properly compliment your work. But my articulation would be far too pedestrian. I have seen such beauty in museums. Thank you for sharing them.

Yes, a tail lock. Made by Ryuichi Kawamura (Ryu).

Thank you. I'm sure it is an amazing knife, Ryu makes nothing less.

WOW! Quite amazing work. The first and last have a elegant art deco vibe.

Can we see it open ?

I'll have to check if I have a picture fully open, but here's most of the blade.

Ryu tail locks are absolutely exquisite.

Ryu tail locks are absolutely exquisite.

Agreed. I’m already planning my next one.

Here's a trio that you don't run across much anymore...

Gerber FSII in bone, Puma 745 in Stag, and a Smith & Wesson folding lockback; nice looker, but when they made this knife they didn't really know how to do it.

Here is a small group of Gerber Silver Knights in various covers:

Some "small lockbacks" - Schrade LB1, Buck 501 with scrimmed Micarta cover, Gerber Silver Knight - 200A in abalone...

No lockback collection would be complete without a Case Copperlock...
