Classic Black and Steel Traditionals

[Old Hunter]

Case is in the game too; some of my Black/Steel Case Knives. A Medium Jack (2010) and a Medium Stockman (1970) on the 87 frame, and a 5" deer skinner from 1980. OH

My Western Black Beauty F66 Christmas present from my folks in 1968 (third sheath) and a deer I cleaned with it about five years ago. OH

I reckon Old Hunter actually means old hunter !

I don't have as varied or as large a collection as many here. Here's what I have.

It might not be large, but, fine !

Nice thread!

I've always thought that knives with a black-and-silver color scheme are very distinguished, dignified, and even elegant. That opinion may be influenced by the fact that my very first knife was this Colonial Forest-Master from about 1960.


Here are a couple of similar scout knives from Imperial, and a black Victorinox Pioneer. (My first knife probably influenced my affection for the scout/camp/utility knife pattern, too. )

I have found it does has a tendency to darken over time.

I bought this Camillus electrician at a gun and knife show, and think it's one of the most classy-looking knives I own:


This S&M (thanks, mrknife ) is also very classy IMHO:

Coco gone black

I have a vintage Keen Kutter (thanks, Mark) that was originally cocobolo with a spey blade, despite what it looks like today:


Here's a Kingston cattle knife (again, thanks, Mark) that qualifies for this thread, I think. (Just pretend that all the reflections in the shiny surfaces are intentional "artistic license" on my part. )

The Coco White Owl I showed clearly darkened in a very short space of time....suspect it MIGHT be an Ebony that slipped under the wire? I was the second owner, it then went to the third and I strongly believe Charlie C is the latest keeper. Anyway it was very dark.
