Carrying this HOK today, from a batch of knives recently purchased.
Don't know the maker yet ... stamp is hard to read. Looks like HOW ? MFG CO
The knife has great action and snap, with half stops. Maybe one of you can make out the stamp.
I dont know who made it, but it's a really cool knife!!

I think the bottom is HDW & MFG CO.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

I'm carrying a short line Camillus 72 today. Sporting some Roger's Bone.
Boney, beautiful, perfection . And 2 coping blades! How did that happen? Did I say perfection?
I was hoping you noticed that! Years ago I sent Greg Smith on this site a guard for his Cheetah. He needed one for an old Cheetah he had. I had an extra. He sent me this knife and it was my first 72. Greg meant to send me a first gen 72 and sent this one by accident. Greg being such a fine gentleman sent me a short line first gen in Roger's bone as well. I offered to send this one back and he said no please keep both. One of Greg's friends (our very own Goldpan) had reprofiled the pen blade to a coping blade for Greg. What's neat about it, is when Goldpan sold his collection of 72's to Greg, years later he started his collection of 72's again and Goldpan remembered reprofiling the blade. He remembered that knife! Anyways now I'm the proud owner of it. Long story huh Floyd!!
