That looks great. The stripes on the wood really stand out. Nice pleasing lines overall. :thumbsup: How long is the blade?

Nice. I like it :thumbsup:
I have one just like this one that I use for a Camp Knife. Nice Knife and holds a good edge.
Jeff makes a nice Knife for the low price he charges for them.
Jimmy? Coleman from WY use to make some real nice inexpensive Trade Knives but I haven't seen any of them around for awhile.
Avalon Forge makes a Half Tang fairly PC Trade Knife. They were $12 the last time I got one earlier this Year. With a little work they are a nice Knife especially for $12.

Llewinman,Are the goods of Avalon Forge of good quality? The prices seem really reasonable.Those pocket knives are really cheap,must be trade imports LOL. Thanks.
Prairieofthedog,
I can only speak to the Trade/Kitchen Knife, it's the only one I have.
The Trade Knife is an import but overall it is pretty good quality. The Handle style as well as the Half Tang and the Blade Profile are pretty darn close to PC.The Handle is pinned with 2 Steel Pins.I am not sure what Steel is used for the Blade.
It comes from Avalon with a Shiny Blade and a Red Painted Handle. I aged the Blade on mine with a little Bleach and some rubbed back Blueing and sanded the Handle down to bare wood and put a little stain on it. The Wood is not Beech or Boxwood like many of the originals but for $12 and a little work it's not bad.

good looking knife, I really like the size and handle
I have the same knife but with an Osage Orange handle, it holds a nice edge. You will like yours and get much use out of it.
