Cal and Dogleg, thanks!

This is a knife made by Schrade in the 90's.
Been waiting for a while for one at the right price.

Waiting on this one
Case tribal lock
I was unhappy with the last 4 high end (100.00 or more) knives I bought so I am going to give this one a shot, the last 50-60.00 knife I bought a Case copperlock was better than all the more expensive ones that I sent back so hopefully this one will be good

The only thing that bothered me was some sharpness on two of the handle pins. The lower pins closest to the bolster. They weren't buffed down enough to be even with the bone. It's very slight but you can feel a sharp edge. Other than that......Beautiful.
Queen City. My favorite! Bruno.

Re: It's In The Mail
I just bought this engraved contract knife that is stamped "Hard Hat USA". I don't know who really made it - any guesses? I kind of liked the obscure engravings on it - who knew that there was an "American Train Dispatchers Association"?? I sure didn't!
Here's the link to "Hard Hat Knives & Flashlights" if you want to buy knives for your obscure association...

Re: It's In The Mail
This is very, very, similar to the Spanish Navaja knife. Almost identical.

Hard Hat has mainly been associated with Bear and Son for the most part. Other manufacturers as well, but most of those seem to have come from China.
Re: It's In The Mail
A knife I've wanted since I was just a young'un. I was 10 when I got into knives, and SMKW had just came out with two exclusive Victorinox models, the Master Gardener, and Master Electrician. I couldn't afford it back then (the $30 I spent on the Fieldmaster I bought locally back then was a big amount of money to a ten year old). A couple of years back (by then a decade later), I got serious into SAKs and couldn't find this one for a reasonable sum. Just in the past couple of hours ago, one of our members listed the Master Gardener model on the AAPK store for $65, which is a lot less than most have been listed for.

Re: It's In The Mail
Those NF #43s got their hooks into me. I was hoping to get away with just the Tidioute Frontier Bone, but you know what they say about the best-laid plans of mice & men...
So these two are on the way (dealer photos):
The orange camel bone knife pictured is the exact knife I'll be receiving, per KSF.

Re: It's In The Mail
I just couldn't resist this Whiskey Bone barehead Tribal lock with CV blade. Even comes with a free Case XX T-shirt.

Re: It's In The Mail
Thanks Phillip ! That's a little different from the others I have. First CV blade I've seen on one that wasn't yellow or purple.
