This one came in the mail today. It is a nice looker. The loss of finish, resulting from ham-fisted sharpening, doesn't look as bad in person as it does in the pic. But since It came with the edge buggered up, so it gave me license to sharpen it. It should effortlessly cut a throat, or open a c rat now. This one was made before they started marking the guard instead of the blade, give or take 1942-3. Somebody "personalized" it with the two red bands, I will leave that alone. If I keep buying and sharpening knives, I am going to have to get some new legs to test the blades on. My legs are beginning to look like a Mexican Hairless.
The wife and I have been watching Line of Duty on Brit Box (a damn good series) and in the land of the Brits they do a lot of throat 'cuttin, so I will be prepared if I go across the pond.

The same story with Imperial, Schrade, and other good American brands. The old American knife makers built a tool to last a lifetime. The Chinese copies are disposable junk comparatively.
It is not the overseas commie rat-fuck bastards that did our industry in. It is the American rat-fuck bastards that sold out to the commies.

That's what I said, the ones in charge, not the working stiff's, or the overseas commie ratfuck bastards. Owners who want more in their pockets for whom enough is never enough and state legislators that heap taxes and regulations on businesses until moving is the more lucrative option.

The knives may be breeding; another couple of new ones here; the Plumb 1918 Bolo and right below it the BFK Western G-46-8.
