I realize that this is a very old thread, but I'm curious.

If there were only 95 examples made, why #103 on the silver one in the picture above.

Since I now own #103, I'm curious.

Thanks,.

"Note that even though there were only 95 pieces made, serial numbers ranged from 001 to 103. Several handle sets did not pass QA inspection and were scrapped. Here's a close-up picture of the release/lock. You push to the left on the tab to release and unlock the knife. The tab pushes against the spring loaded linerlock via the transfer bar. As far as I know, this is a unique mechanism. I know I've never seen anything like it before. It works very smoothly. The tab is easy to operate, but is located so that it would not likely accidentally release in your pocket."

Perfect.

I suspected it was something like that.

Thanks, Earl.

So #103 is significant as the last one made.

I have to check my serial numbers when I get home but I will say that this is a very underrated knife IMO and one of my favorite side openers.
