Treefarmer that main blade on that muskrat is so slender. I wondered if it was worn down that much, but then the etching is still intact and makes me think it was made that way. Handy knife and good score.

Big ThankYou Tony for the Camillus mil k 1972 bonus knife . It will go with the other military camillus knives. And appreciate the upgrade to priority mail at no extra charge
Ordered this Kershaw for a good friend who just retired from 40 plus years as a Union Carpenter. He used my blue one last week and he was impressed with the knife so we gifted him this Silver one . He took off on vacation with a grin and his new Kershaw . Thanks for your help with this one Tony .
You all stay cool out there .

I was pleasantly surprised to find it covered with pretty yellow bone handles, from the ebay picture I though Delrin.
Not sure about the McCoy knives if they assemble with parts from knife mfgs or they are made by a company and stamped with their name. Some articles seem to indicate Colonial had something to do with these. The quality is good and the blades remind me of a Utica muskrat that is supposed to be in my possession, some where.
Any information about manufacturer would be appreciated.

I too got nailed by the same enabler, I guess the logo was unavoidable.

294 (circa 1946-73, or so I am told)

Got a few knives in the last few weeks, thought I would catch up. The first is a Cattaraugus Cutlery made by Canal Street. Mammoth ivory scales.
Second is a Moki 901 with resin scales.
Third are 3 Master Seizo Imai fixed blades that were finished by Fumio Inagaki, who apprenticed under Master Imai. The blades were made in 2005 for the Singapore military. These were left overs that Master Imai didn’t finish while he was alive. Really nice all three.

Wow, that’s an incredible collection! The Cattaraugus with mammoth ivory scales looks amazing, and the Moki 901 is a real beauty. But those Master Seizo Imai blades are truly exceptional—especially knowing they were made for the Singapore military and finished by Fumio Inagaki. Owning pieces with such a direct connection to Singapore’s history makes this haul even more impressive!
