Hey Steele, some of the most beautiful celluloid I've ever seen!msteele6 wrote:I've had this knife for about 8 years now and had come to the conclusion that it had been re-handled. I based that conclusion, not on any direct evidence but on the fact that I have seen so many re-handles done in a modern Christmas Tree material.
The other day the second knife came up on eBay. It appears to be very similar to my knife right down to the white lined Christmas Tree handles.
I guess my point is that it pays to be persistent in searching for answers and that common wisdom is sometimes more common than wisdom.
My knife is first and the eBay knife second:

Roger ,I love that spey on the trapper.I might have seen a Sword Brand with a blade like that,can't be sure if my memory is correct though. I guess that hunter is around 4 1/2 "s ? Are those the ones you got at Parkers? I do like 'em.

Re: A CHALLENGE for you.
I follow a lot of Ebay auctions that have interesting knives listed.
This beautiful Challenge swell-center whittler sold on Ebay this past week.
It sold for $431.00.
Nice knives draw their value on Ebay if properly presented.
Is it "mint"? No, it is not, it has pits and spiders, but it appears unused and unsharpened with 95% of its original finish present.
Fantastic knife.
Photos should expand X 2.

Re: A CHALLENGE for you.
That is a really nice knife Charlie.I watched it but didn't bid.It brought more than what I thought it would.But it is a plus knife all the way around.Make, pattern, bone and condition.

Singin and wlf.
Thanks for the kind words. I was really suspicious of this knife but I kept on looking for comparables. I guess persistence paid off.

Re: A CHALLENGE for you.
Peanut, those are stunning Challenge knives. The bone on the hunter IS very nice. Thanks for posting them.
Junebug, that Challenge razor was made by the company of pocket knife fame. The nickel silver handles are great and the condition looks really fine with the original grind.
