Need Help Dating George Stone Folder

[tvranesic]

Anyone have any idea when this Stone folder may have been made? I'd also appreciate any other information or comments on the knife.

Has anyone heard of this maker?

George Stone was a custom maker from Texas who made knives in the 1960's and 70's. I don't remember what year he died, but think it was in the 80's.

He started making folders in 1976 or 1977.

Thank you! Did he work with Ralph Bone at some point in time?

Mr. Stone was one of the better known early makers. He did mostly traditional hunters and fighters.

Would this example be typical of the folders that he made?
