Appreciate that Doug, it really surprised me when I opened it. The silver bolsters were dark until I cleaned them up, and the blade was sticking...but not any more, she cleaned up nice ThumbUp
New toy is here
Small, but, very sharp. Seems well made. Maybe a bit heavier than I thought, but, very pocketable. It has a pocket clip on the back. The red button is a little hard to push, it's almost recessed. Probably a good thing ... considering I don't need to do accidental surgery while in my pocket.

Doug, I really like the cowboy action knife. Some fine stitching on the sheath. Is it machine sewn?
This one reminded me of my Dads Boy Scout knife. I'll get it out and post a pic. I have a Buck 103 skinner that has totally disappeared. If I ever find it, I'll post it, too.
Randall, you done good friend. You have an eye for beauty and bargains.
Tell Michele I apologize for my part in kindling your KAS. (Knife Acquisition Syndrome).

You can go back to the parent directory for list of models from there

Bill, I am pretty sure it is machine sewn. I bought it on-line from a website called Montana Americana. I had bought the knife at a Civil War cavalry re-enactment and found the sheath looking at CAS vendor sites. Here is a link to their site... they make custom knives too.

My Fire/EMS carry knife. A Kershaw 1550ST Blackout-Serrated. It was one of Kershaw's first SpeedSafe® assisted opening system knives and works well one hand opening with rescue gloves on.
Not really a collectible in it's condition but this well used little Case XX knife has cut more than it's share on twine off hay bales to feed horses in it's life. Still holds a good edge.

A working Buck knife here. A Buck 123X fillet knife. Works well filleting fish and taking the backstrap and fish out of deer.
I got out my Dad's Boy Scout knife and cleaned it up a bit. Afraid do anything to the sheath.
It's a Kinfolk. I never heard of them before, so I looked them up. In business from 1920 to 1957 and an affiliate of Case knives. This is called an Outer's Style Boys Knife. Sold during the depression for $1.50.
My estimates that my Dad had this somewhere between 1934 and 1940 (his teen years). The catalog shows that the blade should have 5/8" longer than it is. He either used the heck out of it, or broke the tip at some point.

Neat old knife Bill! Awesome to have something like that your Dad owned!
:Agree:
Thank you very much! Evidently my search skills suck...lol. Gonna buy another just in case and one for a friend who I'm afraid will steal mine soon!
I can just see him putting points on tent stakes, or making sticks to cook hot dogs or marshmallows on the camp fire.:flame:

Gonna be more like my old friend.

Oh cool! I like it much better than the other knife you just ordered to bring as my present to Kerrville...
Okay ... you've ruined the surprise now ... I got you one but in silver to match your bike. :blush:
