Hello everyone!
I made an account for the sole purpose that maybe someone on this website could help me identify this fixed blade knife that was handed down to me. Ive done some research but to no avail. Please someone tell me who made this knife so i can finally quench my curiosity. All Ive been told about the knife is that it was purchased about 20 years ago from a little shop in Colorado Springs, Colorado and that the blade was apparently made out of a re-purposed cross cut saw. The handle is obviously made from stag. The scrimshaw at the base of the handle is a stags profile and there are some initials at the bottom right which i cant make out. There is what i believe to be a serial number etched into the brass or whatever metal it claims to be, the number is "KR99L" but i cant really read it all that well. I will add pictures so everyone can see, but be warned the only camera i posses is the one on my phone so bare with me here.

-So I'm new to this whole forum/thread thing so Im just adding a link to my Flickr album that has the pictures of the knife. So just copy/paste if you're interested.

Thanks, Ethan

Ken and his family have been doing this for around 3 decades. It looks like your knife was made in 1999. The guys would make the knives, the wives the sheaths. Have not heard much out of their operation lately, but I would bet it is still run the same. Good people!
