It was in a box of junk knives I had laying around. It's inexpensive buy the way it was made. But I fixed it today repining the blades to take all the play out cleaned out all the rust on the metal liners and put it back together. It has great snap, and the carbon blades hold a great edge. Just wanted to know who made it. So, to me it's a great knife find for today. ::uc::

Any help to identify the maker would be appreciated.

I would say yes, pretty much without question. Keep it away from other knives.

Is gassing. Might be causing extra corrosion. Blades and bolsters look to be suffering a bit from it.

Though I am far from an expert on the subject, from the discoloration on both the scale and the blades on that side of the knife, I would say yes.

Thanks. I should have paid closer attention when bidding on it on the bay. Luckily I can return it when it arrives tomorrow as I don’t want it near mine. Appreciate your help.

It seems like many dealers have the popular brands priced 2 or 3 times their actual value. Then the no name or lesser known brands are almost a give away.

Which Western, the bird and trout or the lockback? Local fea markets have never produced good finds for me. Neither have garage sales. knives I want are scarce in thrift stores but I do find them about once a year. Gun shows are more productive. They just require a very long drive that negates the savings from buying only one knife at a good price. Speaking of buying knives, I tried to send a PM to your user handle and got a message that wrote the recipent does not exist. What went wrong?

Modern, I will try to send you a PM. I just did a PayPal update Bryan requested for store members.
My items are now showing again in search since the update. About the Westerns, I was referring to the lockback.

My latest purchase. Found it at a reasonable price on Etsy. Complete in the original box with the knife, coin, unused Warranty Registration card and the 2 year Warranty card with a short bio of Buffalo Bill on the back. Everything is in good condition but the bolsters could stand cleaning.I was surprised because prices there are often ridiculous.

Nice finds, gents. 😎👍💯 Perusing this page usually hurts my bill fold. 😉


I finally found my first GEC Northwoods, seller's pictures. Anxious to see how the "Northwoods" font matches that on my Chris Wolf and Jess Crouch pocket knives.

Always interesting to see what others are picking up, but it does tend to add to the want list.
