Tremendous knife Roger! I only saw a small part of your collection at the Queen show, and that small part constitutes one of the best collections I know of!

Here are some OLCUT, UNION and KA-BAR fixed blades.
The last pic of the Bowie Hunter is A knife that I no longer own. Awesome knife. Glad I have some pics to remember it by.
Thanks for looking.

What kind of finish is on that hatchet set on the left?
Is it Parkerized? I have not seen this finish on one of these before.

Yes, it is Parkerized. I bought that set in a collection of about 25 Knife-Axe sets some 20 years ago. I do not know if it is original but always wondered if it could have been Parkerized for WWWII use. Maybe someone has seen one like this before. It is unusual at any rate.

It looks factory original to me I agree it is unusual.
I have seen plenty of WWII era KABAR military knives with the same finish, so there is a possible military connection there.
