Sorry for the redundant post on the A Field knife. I tried to post it in this thread but didn't see it. I posted it in another thread and then saw it here also. ::shrug::

Thanks Ike I like the Ulster, but the Bud Brand is a really good looking knife in hand, and they were only made one year apparently.

Challenge Cutlery good condition except for the scratches on the main blade.Bought it from eBay. Must have been given away by the Henderson Co back in the day for a certain amount of purchases of seeds to a customer?? Never had heard of that company until I googled them. I thought about trying to remove the scratches but decided to leave alone? Thanks for looking.

Added another bone Jumbo jack this week. A 4" Valley Forge, built like a tank, has an arched tang stamp and the VF in a circle on both the main and the pen. interestingly enough it has 5 pins on the pile side and 6 if you include the 2 shield pins on the mark side. Remnants of the Valley Forge etch.
