What about this beauty?

Post by treefarmer »

Just got this today from 313Mike and thought it should be shown in the Colonial forum. I didn't buy it or trade for it, it came with a couple of knives I had purchased from him. This might be considered a "bomb" ::shrug:: , whatever it is a much appreciated gift from a Marine brother ::handshake:: !
This Colonial started life with a white plastic handle that had a crack. Mike had it re-handled with Bocote wood and a cloud shield and it is just a wonderful knife! Half stops with a snap like a gator!
