That's still pretty cool Jer :) In Scotland, they sell 'Sgian Dubhs' that are all-plastic, not even having a blade! :eek:

This is the one I'd seen years earlier at the same antique mall for something like $130, and the widow of the vendor was letting it go for $30. I have a soft spot in my heart for the vendor who thought he'd found a winner, and for the woman who put up with him.

I always liked how they went without a pommel on these.

With a pommel it would have been lost in the crowd of every other old bird and trout knife, and sometimes a smaller knife feels a little better in hand without it depending on hand size.

Yes that's a good point, hadn't thought of that. It's an excellent fillet type of knife and feels very good in the hand-without the protuberance :cool:

Thanks, Will

Those are really interesting knives. I have yet to own a pinal or facon and I am nervous about buying because I really don't have enough knowledge, but I love looking at them for now. Someday maybe. Thanks for showing!

I think they're pretty standard. The ones like mine above, with a twisted bugle mark ,are by Eberle in Brazil, The plainer Argentinian ones are made by Ju-ca in Tandil. They both have good hard steel, in my experience.

Sorry, don't know. I got it in the early years of the century, there was also a more costly version in Rosewood? and 154. It's a really useful knife.

Thanks, Will
