Re: A CHALLENGE for you.
No where near being in the same league as some of the knives that have been shown in this thread but figured I would share the three Challenge knives that I have. Have always had a thing for the brand and look forward to seeing more examples of what they produced. Hopefully I'll manage to snag a couple more for my collection along the way!

Re: A CHALLENGE for you.
Thanks LongBlade . It has a little blade loss from sharpening but not to bad. The blade looks to be nearly full length which is unusual for these thin toothpick blades. Normally they've been tipped at some point in there life. Bone handles are great. No chips or splits. And blade snaps good open and closed.LongBlade wrote:That is one sweet toothpick Eye Brand Man .. like you I never saw a Challenge toothpick - the bone is classic Challenge jigging and blade looks be be not abused !

Re: A CHALLENGE for you.
A confused "Challenge" knife. I suppose they couldn't decide which stamp to use on this knife. Very readable C.M McClung & Co Knoxville, Tenn. Maybe another stamping on it also but I cant figure it out, Probably Just not struck correctly & they tried a couple times to get it right, lol. At least we know Challenge did make CM McClung knives & If not mistaken so did Miller bros.
Most challenge knives dont have this stamping as you guys know, Looks pretty wild huh!!
Cool knife too me as you guys know I love the ODD ball stuff
Kindest Regards,
Mark

Re: A CHALLENGE for you.
I have almost exactly that except for the short pull on the blade which is rarer?
Re: A CHALLENGE for you.
I saw your knife LDF, it's very nice.
The knives are quite similar.
A Challenge is a great knife.

Nice "Sunday go to Meeting" knife Joe. I'm guessing that one sat in a drawer 6 days a week. ____Dave
