I just got this one in. WWN20 Peanut. I bought it just because I never heard of it and couldn't find any info on it. Not a major investment but a real nice knife.

Appears to be a fairly recent knife made by Bear.

Ok I haven't heard of Bear. So Walden knives were reproduced? Thanks, Joe

The only Walden Knife Co knife I have is this old pruner. Still snaps like a bear trap.

Going to put this one in this thread also. Walden Knife Co barlow with fluted bolsters, pick bone, flush and square joints and a very faint "Cherokee" etch. Pretty sure this one is late 1800's. It seems like good old Waldens are not easy to find.

Beauty of a knife, John, great looking bone, as well as everything else. Nice to see another in your great collection, thanks for showing.

Beautiful old knife!
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
