Re: sfo
there were 16 made of the peanuts. I think 3 muskrats, of which I have 1. Do not know how many trappers or what else may have been made,
Don was a long time collector and helped run the Allegheny Mt. club for a long spell. His widow Mary may remember how many total were made.

queen paring knives
a few kitchen knives. The Winterbottom one was made by Fred Sampson when he was Master Cutler as a sample piece. The crosshatch stamping is different from regular old hickory pattern.

Re: something different
yes they are some type of acrylic. I've heard rumors of other colored scales from time to time but never saw another .
I had a fella offer me anything he had on his table. My eyes lit up when I saw the 2 BP cannons. My wife said "NO!! You'll end up in jail" hehehehehe

Queen frame, Primble shield and OK tang stamp. Mid 1990's I believe.
That color will catch anyone's attention

this is one of Fred's big folding hunters. He told me he made less than 20 of them. At one time I had 10 of them and gave most away to kids and family. I think one or 2 had ebony scales.

Re: Scavenged steel?
There is nothing wrong with using "found" steel for blades IF you can identify what you have. I have access to spectrograph and x-ray procedures . Any time I find stashes of unknown metal it has paid off for me to ID them . BTW, Black Diamond files are an excellent source of W2 steel. And ...
