My only 2 Enders .Both have the tang stamping Goins gives the time frame of 1916-1926 When Enders operated the plant in Abert Lea MN. That being said were the knifes made by an other knife manufacturer? The comparison of your Utica FJ to your Enders FJ makes me curious! Now if I could find a Utica fish knife or outers pattern to study in hand or in a catalog print out my curiosity would be satisfied.so far all I have found is the Enders catalog print with my fish knife and your FL both pictured ? With the knifes being almost 100 years the mystery may never be resolved.

Yes , same. I showed the Utica comparison, it's really hard to confirm anything, as you say.👍🤝

Always liked the big slabs on the RH-30 Remingtons. The Fawayso is a mark I've never seen before.

Here is an unusual Made in USA with Official Scout etch and an Enterprise 3 backspring Cattle with a long spey blade and punch.

I think the jigging on this Schrade 294 from the 1950's is wonderful, deep, full coverage and a dark brown almost black dye.
