Great looking handles for Delrin. I guess the color wasn't buffed off the ends. Great looking knife. Congrats. ::tu::

Wow, nice Folding Hunter with the massive shield ! Most of these i have seen have shown much more blade wear/loss. This is a good one in my books.

Thanks Roland, Chris, Greg. I'm kinda impressed with it. Definitely a mans knife. Big and heavy and tight. Seems to be very well built.

I met Mark Hackney (rattlesnake75) at the tulsa show today. He very kindly gave me one of his awesome displays he had made that has magnets on it to hold the knife, with a brand logo. Thank you so much Mark, it's is very cool! ::tu::

I picked up this Camillus yesterday at an antique shop for $3. Kind of nice shape, the blades are full like never used or sharpened. Obviously the shrunken and broken handle material needs to be replaced. It is 3 5/8", steel bolster, with the 4 line address stamp. So the pattern is 3 bladed jack or what? Now, to the box of handle material to make a choice. Maybe exotic wood, bone, stag or ???????
