That is a real beauty and I'm sure it is as sound as any Challenge knife.
Good catch, Ike.

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.
