Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
The red one is a RH104. Blue and green is a RH204. If I'm not mistaken the yellow one is a RH204. The only difference is the RH104 had a blood groove.Miller Bro's wrote:A yellow one too!

Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
An interesting side note to the RH204. I had one with a green handle marked Pal RH-204 that had a full BSA etch on the pile side of the blade. I sold it to a friend that was an Official Scout Knife collector. Never seen one before or since and neither has anyone else I have talked to. Post war years were tough times for knives supplied to the Scouts. Many strange things happened such as the Cardinal fixed blades. Knives were in very short supply and the Scouts got what they could form where they could.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
Very Cool knife Mike. The knife I had the etch was the same but on the opposite side. Mine did not have the Scout snap and the sheath was different. Can't be too many of these floating around out there.

Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
Is the handle on that thistle knife made of wood?
Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
I don't have in hand yet but I think it is wood based on the checking and it just looks like wood. According to ebay I should know this Friday.
My reference books on hand are handicapped by a lack of Union Cutlery/Kabar information for the fixed blade side of their business. Can anyone recommend a good source?

Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
I also would like to know. I have a thistle knife marked Henry Sears; it is a composite material, but according to Bernard Levine, this was a common pattern turn of the century and probably first imported from the UK; Wooden handles were the norm, I think.steve99f wrote:I don't have in hand yet but I think it is wood based on the checking and it just looks like wood.

Here's a couple you don't see too often. Schrade cut co. Made by kinfolks and a WWII era camillus army/navy pilots knife.

Cal, its a wood handle, came in 2 days earlier than expected.
The sheath was very stiff and dirty. A little saddle soap and Pecard's did wonders.Not an original sheath though as gunsil says the sheath was marked like the blade etch, "Kamper". Very pleased with it overall, the knife is in excellent condition. I think this was carried more than it was used. Looking at the checking with a magnifier, the diamonds are pretty well still pointed and the blade still has some factory finish on it as well as a decent etch. No signs of improper sharpening or other abuse. Couple of pictures for the record.
