Made for a company that caters to Ranchers and Cowboys, these (Queen-made, I think - or Camillus?) sodbusters have been in a small safe since acquired in 2006. Utility-grade knives, they have a simple beauty that I find quite striking. I swear there is a light that glows from within the bone handles, especially in the large one. The bone seems to have aged/mellowed from a much more plain yellow when I bought them. At the time, I wiped the knives, including the handles, with mineral oil, and put them away.
The smaller one at 3 5/8" is quite pocket-able, while the larger, at 4 3/4" might require the included holster for practical carry. The polished blades seem to go with the polished, glowing handles, and of course are known to resist corrosion better than "matte" finishes on carbon steel.
By all means, show your Moore Makers in this thread!! Also, if anyone knows for sure who made them, please tell us!!
