Let's see your good old basic fixed blades, Bowie's, Stickers, etc.

I like the Sportsman knives and have several. Here's an Imperial Hammer Brand c.1938-1941...

The GEC H40 is reminiscent of those knives...

That Olsen OK is an interesting knife; I like it. Looks kinda birdy trouty.

Those could be a collection unto themselves. I understand that the steel in those Imperial/Colonial/Western/Camillus in that pattern was good and the price is generally right. I may have talked myself into it!

I have an Imperial I found with busted handle slabs that I need to restore. It also has some pitting and such but definitely is worth saving,I'm thinking about getting some elk antler from petco
The old Olean Cutlery I have in this pattern is great

I didn't give much indication of scale.

I don't remember if I posted this one, but here's an Imperial H6 I recently worked on.
Had a busted elk head plastic handle and a pretty rough blade.

Haven't made a sheath and carried it yet though.

Yes, good steel, good price. Edge holding/sharpening leads me to believe 1095 with a good heat treat.

I've been told a well treated 1075, but all I really know for sure is that it works well and that's personally all I need to know.

I've posted these before, but if we're talking about inexpensive old Sportsman's knives, don't forget about Kent. Made by Camillus for F.W.Woolworth.

This little Western 640 A [1977] is a neat knife.
When I carry it I use a different sheath as the original is showing it's age.

 

[tongueriver]

Nice Western. I believe that pattern is a smaller version of their 39 variants.

One of the last American made one's, apart from the ones being produced again now, I think I got it around 2006.

Dusted this big 'un off today. An old W49 - from the Coleman era, if I'm not mistaken.
