Yes I am quite surprised in its condition as well, if wasnβt for slightly sharpened main blade and used some it would had been new. Secondary blade is factory and never used!

Here.....
VERY good looking knife.
I checked GOINS 1998 edition, and Levine's 2001 edition.
There is no mention of Utica as a manufacturer for ROMO,
or its related companies in any of the descriptions.

That is a very nice knife! It kinda reminds me of a old Camillus Toe I had. I think the mail pull is different. Harold

That is a absolutely gorgeous knife,
I really like the pattern.
The profile on the main blade looks a little like the one on dadβs Crandall. The nail nicks are not the same at all.Though the knife my dad found is beat oh Iβm sorry well used.
I have added a picture of the knife that I have posted before.
I enjoy seeing those big knives.

I know some of you donβt want to hear this but it is in my pocket today.

Roger Cunningham says it was made by Utica.
That's good enough for me.

Roger Cunningham says so and showed a Utica so you can compare and also mine is stamped Made in USA.
