I have that same knife my girlfriend bought it for me for Christmas back in the late 70’s. It has only two rivets that holds the handles on not three and two cross swords on the blade and says hand made but my handles are not diamond shaped like the one you have. My handles are thin and shaped with the contour of the brass bolsters. It has been well taken care of except my sheet has been worn out where I carried it everywhere with me every to school back before times have changed with all the crazy people that we have these days. I love this knife it stays locked up in my safe and I will have it until the day that I die and then I hope whoever ends up with it will take care of it and enjoy the knife as much as I have 45 years.

Received one of those for my tenth birthday from my godparents in1970. The only difference is the leather case. I’ve kept it in good condition my whole life and still take it duck hunting.

Granpa gave me this knife as my first pocket knife in scouts. It was his for years and my god it's crazy to see the difference in what it looks like originally vs the one I have. It's not beaten on don't get me wrong, it's well used. The blade has been sharpened to the point where the blade shape is entirely different. This is it though

That’s very special, that way he carries a little bit of your dad with him. I know my father in law was like a second dad to me.

I have the #3 it doesn’t look exactly like this one the blade is completely different, I’ve had it for at least 35 yrs. Very strong lock up and stays razor sharp with only a stropping of the edge. Mine also says sword brand on the blade with cross sabers..

Great video my friend! Loved the music, what a beautiful knife for 10 dollars!!! How is the quality on this brand because I have been seeing a lot from them in stores lately. I have heard of them but to be honest never owned one from the brand, this one looks very very nice though. Surprised at how good of shape its in for the price paid. God bless and be well my friend, and as always thank you for sharing your finds with us!

thanks for watching. I find that the older knives are better than the modern ones with this brand as far as reliability. But then again, I am probably biased because I like the older stuff :)

That is what I was reading online, so it makes perfect sense man. You are really starting to get me into looking for the older type ones again, everytime I see one of your videos I start getting the itch to find stuff here in pawn shops or indoor flea markets but nothing yet! I do not plan on giving up though, keep them coming my friend you know I love seeing these oldies!
