Sorry, off-topic but: I had a ‘55 & my folks had a ‘53. I see the badge on the front fender: do you have a 327 in it? Beautiful little “semi-woodie”!
I'm not familiar with the knife, but after railroading for 46+ years (and counting) I definitely recognize the warrants underneath it.

Now try some scales from AWT for a major improvement. IMO, at least.Ten minutes after opening the Bailout I was Googling pommel replacements.
...But an hour later, I remembered two things: 1) on an ordinary day I don't open my knife 800 times, and when I actually get it out, use it, and stow it again I barely notice the pommel. And 2) on the Bugout, my instinctual closure method of bracing the butt in my hand caused me to nip the meat of my palm with the tip more than once because it's so close to the end of the handle. The pommel on the Bailout completely negates that issue.
