Mohawk???? WITH PICS

[gary]

A friend of mine found a fixed blade hunter about ten inches long with stacked leather handle.
The tang is stamped: MOHAWK
USA

No pics, but any guesses as to manufacture? Looks similar to a western.

I would like to see some pictures

I saw one on ebay about 3 weeks ago, did some quick googling and didn't come up with anything solid. Almost bid on it...should have, as I believe it went fairly cheap. Only thing I can guess is maybe it was an brand used by Utica, as Utica is in the Mohawk Valley of NY.

Here's something I just found that might provide direction: http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/r ... ife-lamson

Should be able to post pic Monday or Tuesday, my friend's out hunting right now.
I know I should have waited to post.

Pics should enlarge, click twice.

Any idea of manufacturer? Date? Thanks

Please excuse the poor quality, but here's a picture of a Kabar 1207, '60s or '70s vintage. I couldn't help but notice the similarities in the handle construction...spacer colors, 3 finger grooves in the handle...maybe there's a Kabar connection?

Is the blade chrome plated?

It looks as though it may be.
