While this folder is about 3/4" shorter (closed) than the others, it fancies itself as a hunter, and it is sturdy: a William Cheatham lockback folding hunter.

Stuart and Cal - loving the vintage folding hunter show you guys are putting on! Don’t stop (unless you’ve run out of knives to show!). OH

 

[Coonskinner]

One of my favorite patterns.

I accumulate the old Schrade Waldens.

As clear as rendered duck fat, as I was "going with the flow". I do like those early brutes. They are KNIVES.

Thanks, Bruce. I've run out of air and time (and getting close to the bottom of the barrel, I think). Will post more once/if I find them in the piles/boxes and get pics.

Years ago before I knew much about traditional knives I came across in my business (antiques) a beautiful Ka-Bar hogshead hunter two blade in stag. I remember it had the Olean tang stamp. I may not have known much about knives then but I knew it oozed quality. Wish I'd kept it.

I had to go find some old photos, but I still have these four. The top one is a Western my dad bought in 1955 that has a lot of miles on it, then another Western, an Old Timer, and a Queen.

I have a Case single and double blade hunter in SS. The double blade is probably my favorite folding field blade I own. Wicked sharp, stays sharp and the blade profile is awesome.

Fresh picture of these two Ka-bars. Got these in a local gun store in the early 80's if I remember correctly. At 5 1/4"s they are big!

Dipping my toe into this pattern. I believe this is from the early 1970's. Excellent quality. I don't have the need for such a large folder other than a "what if" situation.

Linerlock Craftsman and svelte Western.

Did the Craftsman knives always have the tang stamp facing out?
