Scott, you sure hit pay dirt!

Wazu, that is one fine looking knife - superb example of Sheepfoot perfection.

Yo Scott - thanks for posting those other photos of those tortoise shell knives ::tu:: - they even come with their own leather folding case with nice inner lining - nice :) ... Interesting blade on them (looks like the shape of a throwing knife to me) and what's the shell scale that folds out of the knife? They are cool but I have no clue what they are or were used for? ::shrug:: No doubt look old based on the tortoise shell and cool folding case...

It looks to have been built when there was no question of getting a questionable heat treat.
The yellow delrin one I tried had a bad main blade.
I'm thinking of trying a Chinese Schrade.

Rummage sale find today for a dollar. Kershaw lightly used, unsharpened 1560 assisted opening side lock. I'm not much for tactical knives, but I like this one. ___Dave
