Hello,
Just stopping by to share this one. 🕵
Had a chance to sharpen it yesterday.

[Duffer]

Wonderful Great sharpening job!

Thanks Lloyd!

Not sure if I should put this one in the Seki thread or not. When I bought it, the seller said it was made in the USA. But after I got it, I think it looks Seki made or at least the parts were sourced from Japan. The handles look a lot like an Al Mar made by Moki. The bolsters look just like the bolsters on my A. G. Russell Seki made lockbacks from the same time frame that this was made, see last photo.
If anyone has information on the Kabar Dolphin from 1989, please share.

That was exactly my first thought when I saw your photos: Seki made. I don't know anything about your 1989 Ka-Bar Dolphin, Mark, except that it's a fine looking piece; just stunning, really. Love it! Great score!

SSK,
That 1st one is a beauty!
There is something about a red bone handled knife that rings my bell!

Very nice pick-ups from both Loose Arrow and Mark!

[Sharpnshinyknives]

Thank you Q, Treefarmer and Dan

Loose Arrow, that edge on that blade looks better than a factory original. Wish I could get my knife edges to look like that.

[Dan In MI]

Most of my working knives are general purpose. Yesterday's arrival will be largely a special purpose knife. It's a Utica Kutmaster T2 hawkbill. I'd been thinking of getting one to trim tree branches that encroach onto my driveway. Thanks to GSPTOPDOG, I got this one at fast and at a dang good price. Fortunately, it has a half stop!

Thanks Dan and Mark, I appreciate it!
The factory edge was not great to begin with. 🕵

That one should handle what ever you throw at it Dan.

I feel very fortunate to have snagged this 1995 (black box) Winchester Trade Mark 39081--that was modified into a single Wharncliffe blade with Camel Bone covers by Master Cutler Jeff Schley (Titusville, PA)--after Ivoryman found it and alerted me that it was for sale. Absolutely LOVE this little knife. Mahalo, Ivoryman (and also Bob Newell who commissioned the mod and sold the knife to me).

[Ivoryman]

Way to go bro, way to go. Holy @#$%^ moly that looks way better than seller pictures. Amazing colors and grain, best approximation of old stained/mineralized Mammoth/Mastadon I've seen. Congratulations by the dozen, beat the monkey down with that for a while. Cannot believe the beauty and so glad you snagged it, what a knife, those Giraffes are a whole higher level of beauty/art. Blows bovine away. AWAY. So glad it was something you're into. Congrats congrats, congrats. Wow I'm glad you snagged that beauty. Slap the back side of dat monkey hard!

[Louisville.Boy1947]

Qt that is a great score.
I was able to pickup a few knives at the US Hwy 127 yard sale event yesterday. A German made Marbles large Congress with imitation tortoise shell covers, a Camillus TL-29, and two Hen & Rooster large Congress with stag covers (one with the Tobacco Congress blade etch, the second is a Coon Hunter blade etch Congress). These don’t compare to your score QT but these fill in a few spaces in my stag collection.

Wow Q. There just aren’t’ enough adjectives to describe that one. That is some of the prettiest camel bone I’ve seen.

Louisville.boy, that’s quite a haul for a yard sale. Some excellent knives in there.

~Q~ I'm jealous, that is one fine piece of cutlery.

Q my man, that tis what you call, a knock outta the park, home game tie breaker, home run. The kind that you afterward go for beers and pizza. The kind of home run that goes into the history books. That kind of home run.

With that locking design, that sucker shouldn't ever snap back on you. They lock up tight 'n fast, just what you want for a pruning knife.

[Dan In MI]

Thanks, all! And Q, that's definitely a keeper.
