Hello, Im working for a small manufacturing company and we've been tossing around the idea of doing a limited run of the attache knife in FRWL. The question is would anyone be interested in these or would it be a waste of time and money>>>

I would be interested one dependant on the price. {[]

Our own Texas007 made beautiful, unique balanced stands to hold replica FRWL knives. He may have some left, along with some knife replicas - but from memory, they all sold out in the past.
Also comes in black - limited to 10
I may have two left - #004 and #006
here it is fitted in original SD Studio track

That is amazing! Brilliant work Texas007 -{
What I would really like is a FRWL knife with an actual cutting edge. Sounds like the steel one might be the ticket. However, I think you'd still need the hole to make it look accurate.

Well that screen grab has the hole in the guard! It's a bit blurry, but looks to me like it's on the downward edge
When Steve was making the replica, David Worrall was contacted and he placed the knife on a scanner and sent Steve a photo of the knife (not what you see above) --Ed

Firstly I wouldn't discount anything that Ed (thespyboys11) says. He has after all handled the original case and also researched these things over many years, albeit it may have been with the display wooden blade added post filming, Ed would most surely have researched the the locking mechanisim within the case. I do have Ed's excellent tome regarding the case at home, if I can easily lay my hands on it I will look. Now although the 'hole' is difficult to pick out in post #27, there is definitely something there. Now because it doesn't show up well ie it's very dark, I would postulate that the hole doesn't penetrate all the way through thus allowing the locking mechanism to operate and also not showing up in the screen grabs you have added in post #29. I would interested in this explanation being debated prior to manufacture, although adding a partial or full hole post manufacture would be possible this would depend on whether you intend to plate or polish the finished knife. As Dave Worral is known to have handled the 'original' blade it may be worth touching base with him. Just my take on it.
