Thanks, Todd. The canoe has such a symmetrical shape that I'd have predicted that a shield that's not centered wouldn't look right, but I actually like that shield, including placement.I really like that shield on that knife Gary, makes an attractive combo.
Very nice. It disappoints me when a punch stockman loses the sheepsfoot instead of the spay.Imperial Ireland.
I used to see these all the time, but not so much lately. I guess they all got used hard.
That's a good point; there are plenty of shell constructed knives floating around. Perhaps these all black ones weren't in production for as many years.Very nice. It disappoints me when they replace the sheepsfoot with a punch instead of the spay.
I don't know though, I still see plenty of the shell-handles, and I doubt anybody babied those.
Beautiful, young Sir. My MAM has a stinking stainless steel blade.
That spear point was my first knife, from my dad, when I was six. (1950). My mother ground off the edge and rounded the point on the sidewalk so I wouldn’t hurt myself. Never seen another one,thanks for posting.I have five of these for sure, two clips and three spears. I think I also have a red-handled spear with the enamel still intact, probably on the kitchen table.
I like the spears better, because the clips are one-sided sabers, and I don't like that, no matter how many non-thrifty makers have done it on pupose.
Made to be thrifty, and I won't spend more than $5 on one now.

You're right. I bought a brace of them and the other sticker is still attached.+3.00 magnification reading glasses. And are those runes on the handle?
