Rare, Scott Sawby Large Button Lock Folding Knife (SOLD)
Rare, Scott Sawby Large Button Lock Folding Knife (SOLD)
This beautiful custom large Button Lock folder was made by Scott Sawby of Sandpoint, Id. The Button Lock utilizes the same locking mechanism as a lock back folder. Depressing the button raises the locking bar with a cam action in the button mechanism, thereby releasing the blade in order to close it. I would describe the button as just a tad sticky. To open the blade, a nail nick is utilized. The blade steel is highly polished ATS-34, and the front and rear bolsters are 416 stainless steel. The handle is an exotic wood with beautiful grain lines - perhaps cocobolo? The front and rear bolsters are dovetailed. The liners are beautifully fileworked around the entire knife. This knife is rock solid. It locks up tight with absolutely no blade play, and the blade is perfectly seated between the liners when closed. It is in excellent condition. There are some very fine surface lines on the bolsters from storage and handling.
Condition: Previously owned. Excellent condition. Never used, carried or sharpened.
