What is Greenwing?

[dlk]

Hi, I got a 3OT the other day, with green - bone, I think - scales and a brass bolster. And instead of "Old Timer" on the shield, it says GREENWING. I have since seen one other model, a cattle knife, that seemed associated with the Ducks Unlimited series. Can anyone fill me in on the Greenwing story?

Thanks,
Dave

Dave, Greenwing is a junior Ducks Unlimited membership for kids 17 and under. here's a link to their site:

I believe they had green delrin handles on their knives. There's also a Canadian arm of the group, which also put out at least one Schrade knife, a 707 with red handles.
