A great knife all the way around, John. Stainless etch; interesting.
Looks like it has a pretty hefty bail.

Thank you all. Joe the bail is hefty and also slightly fancy with a roll on each side. I don't think the stainless etch is all that common, there is one other in the Scout Knife thread with a stainless etch.

You’ve hit a honey hole Roger. That Challenge muskrat seems a very odd pattern for a Challenge, and I really don’t know why. :)

I like that one.
