Another one out of Colorado

[tongueriver]

The seller leaves out an important 'bit' of information. Not exactly a counterfeit, but...
The rehandle stuff out of Colorado is usually Western, but here is another candidate. These listed workovers sell like hotcakes. They rarely are listed as rehandles. The Westerns are intended to look like the colored sheath knives of the 1950s. Now, I could be wrong about this Kinfolks; it would not be the first time, so asking for input.

Not sure about that one Cal. Definitely buffed too much but Kinfolks did make that hatchet with butterscotch celluloid handles. Most I have seen had a more even amber look to them but most of the spurious "Colorado" handles are acrylic with more pattern to them than the ebay one. Also, the "Colorado" Western knives I have seen had split handles and i would be one thick piece of acrylic to make a solid round handle.

Good points. I now just see a buffed hatchet. It is nice.
