Thanks guys, glad you can appreciate it as much as I do.
Lately I have ran across several Utica & Kutmaster knives (made by Utica).
They are older working knives, but doggone they have some nice steel.
This old Kutmaster rope knife is in my store........its a BEAST!
4-1/4 inches closed and the springs feel like they came from an old bear trap!
I kinda hope I don't sell it.
I think the Utica/Kutmaster knives, for the most part, don't get the respect they really deserve.
