619 & 620

[Mitch W.]

Does anyone know for sure what the other 3 knives that go with these are? I know about the 602 (am watching one on feEbay). I figure it's a set I can obtain if I'm patient.

Hi Mitch,

The Name of these knives end with ... mate, except one.
The Names are
TrailMate 602,
Kraton Skinner 603,
PathMate 605,
WoodsMate 619 (black handle),
GameMate 619 (green handle),
CampMate 620 and
FieldMate 639.
The FieldMate has different Versions - with and without serrations
on the back. Also you can find it with black or green handles.
The Blades are similar to the 102, 103, 105, 119, 120, the standard series
with phenolic handle. One exception, the (rare) 639 with Phenolic handle has
the number 639 too.

Hope that helps.

Best,
Haebbie

They're all pictured in the 87 catalog and not stated as 'new' . Some of Habbie's have a 1986 stamp .Which leads me to believe thats about the time they came out . Good work . DM

Thanks, I'm mainly thinking of the 5 that match up with the standard "100" knives. If I luck out and find the 639's, then I'll get them, if not, oh well I won't lose any sleep over them.

I got outbid on the one on EBay so I'll have to keep looking.

I've seen and held a 639OD with original sheath . Now, that I know more about it I'll go back and get it . Thanks, Habbie .
Mitch, Try to get them all then you'll have the complete set for a nice collection . DM

I seen a 639 in stag somewhere... and it was sweet... ITE ... :thumbup:

'E', was that a factory option or LE ? Or someone else ? DM

 

[ItsTooEarly]

DM, I'm not sure... Maybe JB had it or it was on the bay... ITE ...

No, DM, it was a custom made. It was a great one!

Were they all made for the Australian market? Get it...'XYZ-mate'??

That was during my 'Buck makes the 110!' period, thus, I have no knowledge of them. I'll get back to my side of the cage - and await more caffein...
