Nice knives, Rifelman. I, too, have one with similar handle material, and a Watts in stainless.

Most major companies in Sheffield made them and some minor ones as well.

Re: Picked up another one
Here's an old Watts.


When my father-in-law gave it to me, it was rusted pretty bad. I scrubbed it with a No 2 pencil's lead and she cleaned up pretty good.
