Thanks for looking Jim... it's all good, the hunt continues :good:
I went by a pawn shop the other day and saw this fixed blade knife. Thought it looked familiar, so I came home and found it advertised in the American Rifleman. As I was passing the shop today, I went in and bought it for $50.
The picture with the Buck 103 skinner is for size comparison. Also polished the brass.
I had been looking around the house for over a year for that Buck.
At a family dinner a few weeks ago my son handed it to me. He had taken it to clean up and treat the sheath. It got buried in a box when he moved and forgotten. He found it after he cleaned out his storage shed. Glad to have back. I got it in the late 60's

Knives are HIGH on the wanted list, right along with trikes and musical instruments. Nice finds.

Wow... what is it...12in? Nice find there Bill ThumbUp
Chipaway typically makes a limited amount of their releases and changes them up yearly. If I'm not mistaken there was also an arrowhead version of the same knife
Glad your Buck made it's way home...
:cool:
Thanks.
The overall blade is 7" and the sharpened part is 6".
Christmas present this year...

It was sharp enough to shave hair off my arm right out of the box!
