Re: Trail maker
I'm tickled with it. Most of these sell on ebay for around $400, I got this one for considerably less.
Always nice to find an older (30 years) unused knife.

Re: Trail maker
Stag on stag, cool deal. Looks pretty pristine. 
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Trail maker
Thanks for the comments.
Yes, it's pretty much pristine and will stay that way while in my custody, this one is strictly an investment piece.

Great looking knife, made in Michigan. And Michigan Marbles are always cool.

Re: Trail maker
Wow, I'm a big Cold Steel fan Ken, and I've never seen that Trail Master before now! That blade appears to be at least 5mm wide if not more, very impressive! Actually, upon looking again, your Trail Maker's blade looks to be around 5mm, so the Trail Master must be at least that! Wow, some serious bushwackin' abilities there!

Re: Trail maker
The Trailmaster is 5/16" thick. This one is O1 steel made in Taiwan, not sure if they are still making them but I'm guessing they are available as NOS.Madmarco wrote: ↑Sat Mar 26, 2022 9:55 pmWow, I'm a big Cold Steel fan Ken, and I've never seen that Trail Master before now!
