Ok last one for the day! This is another I inherited that belonged to my grandfather. This is an original model 20 Ward Gay that he purchased in August 1968 for $49.95. This one of course features a micarta handle, finger grips, and a wrist thong. I have to admit.... it’s taking every single ounce of restraint in my body not to use this to gut and skin deer. I’m an avid hunter and this beauty balances perfectly and feels like shaking hands with an old friend when you pick it up! Hope you enjoy this one as well. Thanks for looking!

Thank you! I REALLY REALLY want to use this one but just can't bring myself to do it. Its one of those knives that are just too nice to use.

Awesome knife! I bet if you used that knife to gut and skin a deer it would clean up and look exactly the same. And how good would that back strap taste knowing you cut it with grandpa's knife?! Just saying. But I completely understand not wanting to use it because of its sentimental value.
