That's a nice looking knife. What's the blade steel?

D2. I really love this shape.

 

Beautiful. Enjoy it.

Glad to see you found one, Will, I just couldn't part with mine.

 

Thanks Alan and Will. I guess the size lends itself to a great variation in covers.

 

A couple of auction finds.

This Kabar scout is almost cherry. Just a light scratch on the main blade from the awl. Perfect snap on every tool, and not a sign of wobble.



And a beautiful soft Arkansas stone. Gorgeous coloring. Looks like it was never used. The leather slip is no slouch either.

Nothing special, but I remember having one just like it when I was a kid.

 

fun little pattern...

 

Remington R14, 2001 Show Knife edition







The handles feel a bit gummy, so I want to clean them some how, but I don't want to risk disturbing the patina on the brass bolsters. Suggestions welcome.

 

A couple great finds, Buzz! It's hard to tell for sure from the angle in the photo, but does the slip for that Arkansas stone have the state outline of Arkansas on it? I'm a sucker for my home state.

 

Just received, this beauty immediately assumed the mantle of the finest factory slipjoint in my accumulation. Eat your heart out GEC.

 

That scout is a cool find! I'm a sucker for most anything Ka-Bar though.

 

Just plain pretty.

 

Christian, I too have a couple of Queen built Winchesters that rival or exceed the quality of GECs.
This Cartridge Series stockman from 1995 is as good as any build I have from any manufacturer.




I'd sure love to see them come back to the quality of yesteryear.

 

Jeff,

My whittler is the same vintage as your stockman.

 

That is really a beauty! :thumbup:

 

Buzzbait. You probably know this, but that Kabar was certainly made before 1996. Probably between 1966 and 96 as it is marked Cole Consumer Products. Cole bought Kabar in 66 and sold it to Cutco in 96.

I have 4 in that serie, including the gunstock, all are very useable and excellent finish. Just the stockman has a slight mark on a slab, quite unnoticeable. And all at very decent prices for such a quality.
My grail would be a congress or half congress.

Hmmm gorgeous.

You're right these knives have outstanding quality! And this one is splendid.
