Do you know the maker? My father was given the lockblade folder in the 60's and passed on in early 70's.

Thanks much, Jim

I can't see a lot of detail in the photo, but it looks like either a Browning or a Gil Hibben custom. Good reason they look alike, he designed Brownings line of early knives. My impression they still used them into the 1970s. My Browning B78 BiCentennial included a Hibben in the set.
