Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
I wish I knew Steve, I bought it about ten years ago with several fixed blade hunting knives. It has awesome stag and the blade grinds are precise, I thought it was homemade but it is put together very well. Wish I had more information but that's all I know about it.

Dimitri: It looks almost like one of Bill Bagwell's early creations or maybe a Daniel Winkler knife. Just guessing.....Miller Bro's wrote:I wish I knew Steve, I bought it about ten years ago with several fixed blade hunting knives.

This arrived just in time for Christmas last week, fished it off the bay. Not without warts as indicated by the bent guard that is loose too. It's a Case small Bowie with Rodgers bone handles, 8 3/4. Case Bradford Pa on front tang, Case's Tested XX on the rear. Handle feels good in the hand, the blade is saber ground and 4 3/4 long. A sheath without any Case ID came with it, fits it very well. Thanks for looking.

I don't believe it was ever used, certainly not since I have owned it. I don't know much about these but it is a big well built knife, I have a couple more and a few folders.

Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
I forget the name of the two guys who started it but they were both custom knifemakers. The knives were not cheap either;if I remember correctly the Apache folder was about $50 back in the 1970's.You could buy a custom knife for that money then.The Bowie I got from Bob Frieda I think and whoever tried to do the engraving.....well let's just say they hadn't been practicing very long. The metal handled one I got about 10 years ago and it was one had never seen before.Smaller than the Apache in overall size it was definitely a Santee(California)made knife.I have a couple of Japanese made Rigids but they aren't even close in quality to the California made knives even though they are decent.Miller Bro's wrote:Thanks Ray!knife7knut wrote:Dimitri:That Rigid(#8 pic)is really nice!I have several of the Santee made knives including a Bowie that someone attempted to engrave.

Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
Thanks Ray, I never researched them so today I searched the internet and found this:
Rigid Knives were founded in the early 1970s by former Buck employees; Bill Duff, Dean Parks, and Don Collum in Santee, CA., later moving to Lake Hamilton, AR before going out of business in the late 1980s.
From their original brochure:
Better knives are being made in America today than in any period of history. And in a small Southern California town, some of the best are being created in a modern and well-equipped factory. Rigid Knives are the product of many years of knife building experience. They are the result of a dream of craftsman who left a larger manufacturer t devote themselves to creating the “ultimate“ knife.
There is compromise to excellence in every Rigid knife. The finest materials, unique designs that fit a man’s hands and his needs like a glove, and painstaking hand work create a knife that can never be duplicated by machine. But the most important ingredient is pride. It assures that the knife is as unique as the craftsman who made it. Whatever kind of knife you need, there is a Rigid to fit the job.
Rigid Knives was a pioneer in the early days of American’s Cutlery Renaissance, pushing the envelope past the traditional designs of the 19th and early 20th centuries and merging the influence of custom knives to push the metallurgy and high tolerances that our current state-of-the-art manufacturers continue today and own a debt of gratitude.
