I saw 3 other ones for sale and I'm looking forward to seeing which one you got if you're able to post pics. I hope you like your Hanwei as much as I like mine. It's unlike any other knife I have ever owned.Quick Steel wrote: ↑Thu Jun 24, 2021 8:29 pm Rick T., I had a long look at your Starship. Almost got it but finally decided on another Hanwei design.
That is an interesting knife Rick. I was tempted on that one myself. It looks like one I wouldn’t be able to put down for a long time.Railsplitter wrote: ↑Thu Jun 24, 2021 7:15 pm Hanwei Starship.
I received this yesterday and waited all day for the mailman. Finally got it an hour and a half before I went to bed.

I know nothing about the maker other than I've seen them advertised across the interwebs and in a couple of sporting mags. It's a Lord & Field single blade , with Blue Denim Micarta scales, 4 inches closed, Spear point blade is 2.75", blade and liners are stainless and has a liner lock that locks up tight. The blade thickness is .102 with a flat grind. I just liked the look of the knife. It is tight, liner locks up tight and did come paper cutting sharp. I am sure this is a Pacific Rim produced knife, but will see how it does.

Appreciate it QS
Good looking knife Ken.
To me it looks more like a Bare head swell end Jack. Thanks Mark. Will do. It feels good in hand and in pocket so far.Sharpnshinyknives wrote: ↑Fri Jun 25, 2021 12:39 am
Smitty, that Lord and Field looks like a great user. Let us know how you like it after you use it.
Thanks Redrider. That's what kinda caught my eye, along with the blade.
Looks good Jerry.jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 25, 2021 2:12 am Received this bad boy in today's mail. Not enthralled with the full size trappers or yellow handles but the Wharncliffe blade melted my heart and opened my pocket book.

Gosh, jerryd...that sounds exactly like something I would say.

What's the scale material on that one, ken? I really like the looks of it.
Whatever it is, rare or not, it is a really nice knife.QTCut5 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 25, 2021 4:45 am It seems that I've come down with a bad case of Stag fever (actually, the fever for Stag is always present, but lately the intensity has gone into overdrive). Saw this little 3½" barehead jack and immediately fell head over heels for the Stag and bought it without any idea where it was made or by whom. Both blades have a bear trap gator snap!!

No tang stamps, just a verrrry faint, almost invisible blade etch that can barely be seen when the blade is angled just so under certain light (and nearly impossible to photograph). As best I can tell, the etch says WESKE over USA inside a diamond, something like this:

Double click to enlarge and see if you agree with my assessment.

I couldn't find any pics of the WESKE USA logo for comparison, but based on my limited research, WESKE Cutlery Co. operated in Sandusky, Ohio from 1946-1952 and mostly made fixed blade hunting knives and a few pocket knives.

So, for all I know, this could be a rare one.

Beautiful!!!QTCut5 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 25, 2021 4:45 am It seems that I've come down with a bad case of Stag fever (actually, the fever for Stag is always present, but lately the intensity has gone into overdrive).
