Re: Mystery Knife Game

Dan, I couldn't tell at first if the scales were stag or composite. Once I enlarged it a saw the bolster/scale gap I thought it was LFC. That texture is the giveaway. I really like their knives. Eric: Welcome to the game. I don't have a clue about your knife. I'm "old school". ::handshake:...

Re: Help with knife I.D.

Hold the knife so the larger blade is on the right. Use a pencil and rub the lead on the "tang" (bottom area) of the larger blade. You may see the mark. It could be Colonial or U.S.A.. The knife is certainly one of the less expensive brands from the 40's to the 60's. Incidentally, Its not ...
