A Michael Manrow (Toledo, OH) folder. Since the name is hand engraved, it it likely from his early days in the mid-1970's.
(Apologies for the non-custom fixed blade Larry Fischer-designed CRKT Hunt 'N Fisch; it's the only overhead shot of the Manrow open that I had.)

In my pocket today: a Dean Roath saddlehorn lockback in Macassar ebony and brass. Dean Roath, of Baton Rouge, LA, was a veteran of 20 years in the U. S. Coast Guard, a retired employee of the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, and a member of the Knife Makers Guild. He died May 26, 2005 at age 62.
A Bill Cheatham folding hunter. Well knoiwn for his flinted or knapped steel fixed blades, I haven't seen many folders by him. Note the neat placement of the nail nick on the gutting hook tip.
Stuart, I wouldn’t want to have to clean that one after running it through a field dressing or two, just too many crevices for blood and fatty tissue to collect in!

That's true, Jake, but a garden hose, compressed air can and some Tuf-Glide will put things right. I do generally use a fixed blade for that reason, but have used a Buck 110 in a pinch.
