I was wandering around on Google, and found these- McCoy brand? Never seen them before, but carbon steel with some decent looking scales... are the American?

I believe that they were made by Colonial (they are identical to Old Cutler knives) and made for SMKW. Probably old stock.

Hmmm... maybe worth dropping a twenty to find out.

Those probably go back to the days before Colonial filed for bankruptcy. I have not seem them in SMKW's catalog in many years. I believe that colonial used 1075 carbon steel, not 1095, but I may be wrong.

1075? Bit unusual, isn't that more a Euro carbon?
Think I might drop a 20 to see, though.

Saw one on Ebay today. Apparently they're owned by http://www.naturalwhetstone.com/productsknives.htm
