I went to a Gun Show this past weekend. Locally, the gun shows in the Memphis area are not that good, nor are the knife stores...sadly. But, I got lucky, again. Last time I went, I bought a Canal Street Whittler in Buffalo Horn (no box) from a vendor for a nice price. This time I think I may have been a bit luckier...with the same vendor.

Being from Tennessee, I have always wanted to own an original Colonel Coon. Well...I kinda, sorta, got there. I had read this site before:

I was aware of the Colonel Coon stamped stockmans made by Colonial. Well, same vendor had two, one in white and one in jigged Delrin. Finances being what they are, I bought one, the jigged Delrin. This is a real nice knife.

Okay, it is not a Tennessee made Colonel Coon, but is an early 1980's marked Colonel Coon made specifically to held fund Tennessee Knife Works. I'll take that.

I think I may have figured out how to post pictures, so I will take some tonight and try to get them up. If I fail, my apologies. Just remember I have said before that I am technologically illiterate.
 
Okay, here is a picture of the tang stamp. I am having some technical problems, so let me see if I can get the other pictures up.

Story of my life, ready to do something and technology lets you down.

I have two more pictures and they will not load.

A bit more about the knife. Interestingly, the blades are made with thinner stock than you see on Schrade stockmen. Additionally, it is on three springs instead of two, so there is no crink in the sheepsfoot. With the thin blades, the width of the knife is about the same as the Schrade 881 pattern. All in all a nice little stockman.

I will move onto something else and try to come back to this one in a bit.
 
I'm sorry, folks. For whatever reason it will not upload the two other pictures from my computer and it will not upload them from photobucket. I have to admit, this is pretty frustrating. There has to be an easier way to insert photos.
 
If you want to send me the photos, I will post them for you. I am not sure what is wrong but I have a photobucket page, but just send me an email via BF and I will post the pics for you. Not a problem.
