Yes Sir, P.B. it is a DE Imperial knife, great for small choirs and the big tasks I'll leave to the sword and sickle... like killing hoards of the undead walking the Earth after the coming Zombie Apocalypse

Awesome! Yet another thing I have absolutely no practical use for, but want nevertheless.

A must have when I saw it. Made in Italy with D2 steel blade and paper Micarta scales. Lately I’ve been acquiring Italian knives such as this Maserin.

Thanks GSPTOPDOG. I got it from AG Russell. Another great Italian knife is Lionsteel. They run a bit higher in price but the quality is super.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Nice pick-ups! When I enlarged the photo, I noticed the Buck has "Selector" molded into the handle...is it one that has interchangeable blades?

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
A quick search confirmed my thoughts. The Buck Selector is indeed one with interchangeable blades. According to my search results, "42821" is the model number solely for the serrated drop-point blade, while the knife itself is a Buck model 428. Great score!

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
GSPTOPDOG: You have great taste also. I can see why you love that Lionsteel. The EDC I use the most is a Maserin Plow. It’s a SFO so they were made in limited numbers. It’s a sodbuster type pattern which fits my hand perfectly. D2 steel and steel liners with canvas micarta handles.

Nicest thing is the low price. I won’t use my GEC or other high priced knives for EDC.
