Re: Will you take the Covid Vaccine ?

Atlante Spelling counts! :wink: It can be purchased at Masecraft Supply.

Re: #3L in Antique Bone - any insight ?
G’day, Derek. This is only a guess, but I wonder if your S&M #3L’s liners were made from leftover patterned (stamped) brass handle material from Queen’s ‘Executive Series’ of penknives that were made for a relatively short period in the late 1990s. If that be the case, my best guess is that your...

Re: KA-BAR , confused with dating this
These had a pretty long run, circa 1968-2001. I don't know who actually made them, they were not made at the KA-BAR factory in Olean, NY. I'd say use it, they have not yet really become collector items. IIRC, the earlier model 1189s were produced in Olean—not in the KA-BAR factory, but under contra...

Re: Ka-bar 471-5 sheath question
The snap on the OP’s sheath was manufactured by United States Fastener Company. In 1929, United States Fastener merged with a company named Carr to become United Carr. Later snap fasteners were marked “United Carr” to reflect this change. So at least the female half of the snap on said sheath was pr...

I wonder if Kittinger actually manufactured the block and handle or if they simply designed them for Case to manufacture in their own...
