To buy a two- or three-bladed locking folding knife?
Perhaps 20 years ago I owned a Browning three-bladed locking folding knife. Details I think I remember are:
- Made in Japan - [Advertised as] 440-C stainless steel blades about 3.5 inches long - Aluminum body - extremely light overall knife weight (or so it felt to me); smooth enough configuration to be comfortably pocketable - Rubber or soft scales with molded-in checkering - Lock releases were a little bit forward of center of blade back - One clip point blade with partial serrations; one drop point; last blade not recalled except NOT having gut hook - Extremely easy opening and closing - Possibly had F. D. T. or some other initials with first letter "F" *** I seek a two- or three-bladed locking folding knife of good quality having general purpose blades [at least one a] 3-3.5 inches. Knife is to be carried in a front pocket, not in a pouch or scabbard. Since I am unfamiliar with such knives currently available as NEW or used excellent condition, I have no idea of price range, brands, or models. I have done a modest Internet search and have not clearly identified what I'm looking for. I'm really "at sea" on this. New or excellent condition is equally acceptable. But New or acceptable what? __________________ When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him. Jonathan Swift |

find a local knife shop, or sporting goods store, and check out all the different ones you might like.
unless you are looking to spend some more serious $$$ and have one custom made. |

I still have a few of my custom made folders that I made 20 years or so ago.
If you're interested, contact me. drobinson6@rgv.rr.com |
