I should have known that you'd have the S&M that I've been ogling, Jack. How does it compare to the others? Is the F&F as good as I expect from them?3 3/4" and longer blades start with the blue bone handle in the middle. The blue handle one is marked Bear Hunter, and I know virtually nothing else about it other than I bought it on eBay. Next to the right is a Colonial Redneck Stainless, then a Queen in D2 and Amber Carved Stag Bone, Queen in D2 and Birdseye Maple, Queen in 440C and Winterbottom Delrin, Case 61093 8 dot brown Delrin, Kent fish Knife, Case 610098 Barnboard bone, Case 6.510098 Bonestag, Schatt & Morgan File & Wire ATS-34 Wormgroove Bone, Winchester Cartridge Series.

Fit and finish are very good, aside from the Queen Safety Edge. Luckily, the ATS-34 is easier to cut a new bevel on than D-2. The handle feels great in my (larger than average) hands and I love the bone. I just wish it was legal to carry here (Kansas has a 4" limit).
