My Dollar knife shield is of white micarta! Many colored shields were seen on the old original Dollar knives!! I believe to keep the price at $1.00!!!!

a tad chunky, but interesting, new knife day for me. might be a bit of a project knife, or the makings of one.

If they would round off their handles a little bit and add a bit of swedge so the blades are less two-dimensional, I’d probably buy one. As for now I just enjoy looking at the pictures. They do seem to be making huge improvements over the past year or two though.

Chunky is a good description. Mine has a 1/8” spine, which I’m not used to seeing on a knife this small. A quote comes to mind of an aeronautical engineer who said his airplane “might not fly, but it certainly won’t break”.
