I recently picked up this Morseth knife. I liked the way it looked and the "old yellow" micarta handle. I know nothing about these knives. Can anyone tell me about when it was made and any other details? I'd like also to see a photo of an original sheath.
Thanks,
Buckspen

Here are some Morseth excerpts from a 6-page article on the "best knives" written around the mid-1960's. The third one shows a sheath (sorry about the quality). I believe AG Russell later bought the Morseth rights, and manufactured them.

Steve, thanks for posting this article. I enjoyed reading the Buck part.

Buckspen, I was going to suggest contacting A.G. Russell for information on Morseth.

Thanks, guys. From what I have been able to find doing web searches, I think mine is one of those made by A.G. Russell.

Here's a link the full five-page article, if you're interested. Can you access it OK?

Steve - Yes, that works. I printed it off for reference. I'm not a big fan of Ken Warner's writing style, but it's good information.
Thanks!

A.G. did buy the rights for Moseth and brought in Bob Dozier a Great builder that is pretty famous his self to bring Moseth back. I don't know who does the work now?
