Early 60's based on the sheath. It was a cool kit knife given the collar and butt.

The blade was not soldered to the hilt....and the hilt was loose.

James and Grant said the nut on the butt was glued on.

Back from Warlander. Amy hit it. Chocolate leather & Diamondback Rattlesnake, basket weave belt loop, canteen snap, not shown back side, leg tie loop.
Chief and I had a hard time deciding which one but I'm taking the tip and he's getting the copper butt. Both have incredible color.
Of course we both have visitation rights wink Thanks once again to James and Grant for making it happen.

Coach,

Amy could make it happen. Grant would be happy to help set it up. For a heavy blade, the canteen snap is the way to go.

Warren & Chief,

Matching Chocolate leather & Diamondback Rattlesnake Boots & Stetson Trims and you guys would look like Butch & Sundance (you guys pick who's who!).

Really great Brother's Project.

The Tip got the 60s blade The full handled blade more like current production.

Also like I told Warren I think he has a better chance where he lives with tip than the full handle.
