Well, I fiqured one way to intro myself is either with a simple hello...but having done that numerous times on other forums I've decided to say hello and show initially why I joined the forum. 2 years ago my grandfather passed away, as a result I was given a knife that belonged to him from his years as a pilot and aviation mechanic in Alaska in the early 1960's.

I am told he purchased it in Anchorage in 1961 and used it on one or two Moose hunting excursions as well as his EDC when flying transports.

As far as my research has gone it has shown me to be a 20A Deluxe skinner. It has the 'little knife' stamp dating it to the 44-62 era of manufacture. here's a pic:
