Challenge Fishtail

Post by rugmar »

I found this one last weekend at one of my favorite holes. It's missing a lot of blade material but is still really tight with plenty of snap. Considering it's age, I'd say it has survived fairly well. I thought the fishtail pattern was kind of neat and the bones are in great shape but you sure can tell they are old.

This is my one and only Challenge Cut Co brand. Length is just shy of 4 inches. Tang Stamp is 4 lines, CHALLENGE over CUT CO. over BRIDGEPORT over CONN
Thanks for looking!

Thanks guys! I figure it’s gotta be at least 100 years old.

Great and rare knife. The company was gone by 1928. J.O'.
