Oh, Rob, the Case with the Indian Trails bone is to die for! Simply awesome jigging and color.

Some nice knives.
This thread is good timing I've been using this 1 past couple of days.

I just have these two for now, a Western and a Schrade. Unless you count the Cold Steel broken skull ( stupid name imo ) Besides the dumb name is actually a good modern rendition of this pattern. The grip profile is identical to the Schrade, although thinner. The only pic I have of it it still has the thumb stud I removed, so kinda a no go here
Edit: I got the name of the Cold Steel modern version wrong, still a dumb name for a knife, but what do you expect when it was designed with input from a pro wrestler lol

I got to say I like the Western version the best out of similar options from other makers. Slimer handle,the placement if the nail nicks, that long clip secondary (California clip?)

David, quite tough to beat a Western 062. As you mentioned above, they are slimmer than most, take a wicked edge, are readily available if you shop around, and hence, are crazy cheap.

Don't forget the Buck 110 Folding Hunter. That enclosed black leather sheath worn on one's belt, and below the back, was an icon in the 70's and early 80's.

Both CASE knives actually. They make my heart hurt. As Cap't Merriweather Lewis said when he finally viewed the Pacific Ocean, "Oh, the Joy!!!"

I don't know their lost secret to the bone back in the tested era but apparently it's lost forever. Seems like modern bone lacks the color and luster. Thanks for the comment

Great thread tongueriver, with some really nice folding hunter models shown.
Here is an old pre-war Ulster ebony handled Coke bottle with uncommon double nail pulls.
