If I hold the barrel of the Engstrom knife up I can see through it, but there's not as much to see as with yours. I actually have one of those clear knives with Sabre, Made in China on it. I had another one that I gave to a friend and she lost it at an airport when she forgot to remove it from her purse.___Dave

Bought these at a flea market I set up at for $15.00. The top one a Schrade 835Y Birdseye stockman , Schrade 80T stockman, and a PAL Cutlery horn handled jack knife. The Birdseye stockman has a patched up handle and jack knife has a small worm hole.

Hadn't bought a knife in a while; stopped by a junk store ("antique mall") last week to look for bass fishing lures - found this Camillus Yellow Jacket instead. OH

That's pretty neat, Bruce! What's the advantage of the fully serrated blade?

TF, don't know why a 3-1/2" Congress pattern knife would have a serrated blade - guess Camillus thought it would sell a few more knives for them. Might be handy for 550 cord or sisal. I remember when that Western combo was a promo deal Scott - join and get that knife set. OH

Shame the big one has a gut hook blade, otherwise I'd be on that like a duck on a bug.

I don't think much of them gut hooks myself. But the other knife sure looks nice!

Nice find Scott. They are fairly common around here but I hear they are rare in much of the rest of the country. That appears to be a pretty nice one. ___Dave

I have three or four of the "regular" length horsehead puukkos, they were one of my early focuses in fixed-blades, which actually started before I ever got into traditional OR modern folders. One of them is part of my EDC rotation but due to the sheath style and general logistics I don't find myself carrying it much outside the home. It is a demon slicer with wicked-sharp carbon steel, however, and it gets a good amount of work as a food slicer, parcel opener and occasional potato peeler.

Is that brown handle bakelite, Scott, or something else? It doesn't look as uniformly-colored as the ones I have, almost subtly mottled, but that could be a trick of the light or the camera.

To be honest, dogg, I'm speaking out of pure ignorance. I don't hunt or dress animals out. It's just the novelty of the thing that seemed so odd on a blade. I will remember that others find it useful. ::nod::
