What a wonderful thread. Looks to have settled in to folding hunters, but just for fun I thought I would throw in a group of late 1920s and early 1930s Remington fixed blades.

Here is one I picked up today. Keenwell Mfg. Co, Olean NY circa 1912. Sheath is currently undergoing re-furbishing. Point of knife has been re-profiled slightly.

I love looking through this post. So many fine old knives in one place.

Not a knife but here is a pretty hard to find MSA #1 Axe.

7" MSA Ideal with Lignum Vitea pommel.

Thread bump day for me...

If you haven't browsed this thread or if it has been a while, it might be worth a look. There are some really exceptional knives posted in this thread.

Here is a Case Tested XX 6165 SAB with green winterbottom handles.

Thanks for looking.
