Mark, I read your posts all the time, and I know that you probably have forgot more than I'll ever know about pocket knives. Please educate me on the problems that you see on this knife. I thought that it was a good knife. Please take this post for what it is. Just a question.
Thanks,
Randy

Look at the edges of the bone. It is kind of squared off. An old knife would have a more rounded edge. Same thing on the bolsters. The tang stamps not struck evenly. deep on the right side and nothing on the left. See the fine grind lines on the blades. They were never finished. Reproduction blades. The only thing about the knife I like is the jigging on the bone. I'd like to know where they get it. Mark.

Looks like this knife is having another turn at bat. This time it's getting some bids but has yet to make reserve.
