I just received an A.G. Russell catalog and they are offering the two Nighthawks. In their description of the tanto Nighthawk the following statement is made:

"Buck has the longest history with the Tanto of any knife manufacturer in this country. They made the first, a Bob Lum designed Tanto, for a tiny little company no one had ever heard of, and for years ..."

This is news to me. Is it true? If yes, what was the name of the company and please tell us something about the knife!!

Wow, now there would be something to ferret out. Is there a way of identifying a Buck produced Cold Steel?
