hello. i am new to this site. looks like lots of good info is available here. can someone help me out concerning a knife i have. it is a skinning knife. it has a 3 3/8ths blade and a stag horn handle with 2 dark wood spacers between the brass guard and the horn. on one side of the blade it says "bailey". on the other is the number 28. it appears to be a handmade or custom knife. i bought it from a guy, who needed money, for 25 dollars. sorry, i can't post a picture of it. i would like to know anything about it that anybody can tell me. all comments/opinions are welcome. thanks...bud

Welcome to the forums. Hope you enjoy it here.
It is going to be hard to tell without a picture.
My first guess (and it is a very big one) with out any books in front of me would be Joe Bailey out of Nashville, TN.
BTW. Your signature line is fantastic!

The Joe Bailey in Nashville began making knives in 1988.
There was a different Joe Bailey who made knives in Gallatin, Texas, in the 1970s. I don't know his mark, but he is a candidate.
Also in Texas is Kirby C. Bailey, who began making knives in 1955. But his mark has always been K.C.B.
