I have looked at those. Might have to get one too!
Only $39.95 at Red Hill. Not as high quality as a Case or Queen but nice carry knife for the money.

have not seen this one on this thread
as you may know Camillus 72's and EO's are my favorites right now, especially bone
I think all mine are delrine and the bone 72's are expensive so I grabbed this one for not much more than a Camillus delrin. not a real whittler, but that is in another thread

edge 213: I too was drawn by those green scales. Yours looks pristine. Mine is far from it. Ordinarily I take good care of my knives. But I have to confess that my Utica is an exception thru no fault of its own. It just happened that I started using it to ream out my smoking pipes and, well, did not keep up with the cleaning/maintenance. I may get another one and treat it right. :oops:

Quick Steel,
No need to feel bad about usin' your Utica Barlow, that's what they were made for! Kinda' like buyin' a new truck, you sure hate to get the first scratch or ding but after that it's a truck to be used ::tu:: .

I have exactly.... one.... a US M3 UTICA Kutmaster. An issued M3, demilitarized by grinding off the issue stamps on the finger cross guard, blade polished and Kutmaster etched in the blade. This is an early conversion one from late 1945.
