Yep 1095, D2 doesn't patina like this. I will also echo the " great knives " thing.

Hmmm... There's a delrin 29010 muskrat on the 2017 Bluegrass website: http://www.bluegrasscutlery.com/W2029010.html According to the internet archive, that page has been up since at least 2015

Looking at dealer sites, the box does happen to be black but they are not what forum folks typically call "black box Winchesters".

One dealer calls it the "workman series"...
This is what I have. Is it possibly stainless?-Kinda looks and feels like it

I heard the same story (with minor variation) from the horse's mouth!! It's true for a few years at the beginning!

What year is your knife, kvaughn??

Will look when I get home. The pic that Supratentorial posted is the knife I have.--No date on box,paperwork or knife.--I wonder if these "Black Box Repro's" were also made by Queen?--KV
