I am looking for information pertaining to a Browning Hunting Knife. It is solid metal including the handle. The handle is approximately 3/16 inches thick. The blade is approximately 4 1/2 - 5 inches long. No serial number as I can see. It has "Browning" etched on the thumb guard. The leather sheath also has "Browning" etched in it. This knife was purchased in approximately the mid 1960s. I have never seen another one like it. Any information as to when this was made, and where it may be purchased today would be greatly appreciated. I have looked for years in shops for this item and have never found anything similar. Thank you for time.

Wrong forum for this. Moving it to the General Forum.

This is the general forum isn't it? Or should I be posting my reply somewhere else?

The first place I would look is www.browning.com . They have an online catalog that includes lots of knives guns and other fun stuff. If you don't find that knife you'll probably find something else you'll like.

I have a large rosewood handled Brownig fixed blade puchase in the early 70's. As my "senior" memory serves me since I don't have the catalog in front of me, all their early stuff was real 440C (not "440Ctype" which is really AUS8). Mine (not the same as yours ) was made in the US. At the time they had a great reputation (better than now) but I have never actually used my pretty knife since I wanted it to stay that way. I remember the all steel hunter since I did consider buying it since it was cheaper but I was swayed by a pretty face.
