These two models have been discontinued for decades(?). My brother collected knives but did not use them and these unusual knives look like they have never been used and are in excellent condition after being in storage for at least 20 years.

The knife features a carbon fibre inlay on the handle and a bead-blasted stainless steel frame and includes a Fire Safe mechanism for assisted opening and a frame lock for secure use.
