I was just wondering if anyone comes across many old (original) Col Coons that have been EDC'd.
I don't see many of them at all, but it seems that ones I do see have been put away.
I guess that might be because they were thought of as collector knives from the start. ::shrug::

Just curious,
Keith

Here's a user.

I rescued this feller out of an old toolbox that belonged to my wife's granddad. Upon investigation, it was given to him by his son-in-law (my wife's dad) in the early to mid '80s...I think.
