This knife is the same as first posted next to my 1-8, and the others are photos lifted from the net in various older posts/listings, and sorry if not clear in that post.....in rereading, I see a phrase was dropped regarding searching "on the net" not leading to a gold mine. My apologies for lack of clarity. Let me make it up by adding a few more, the last terrible partial was described by seller as a "rifleman's bowie" with buffalo horn scales...

The sheath is a simple blade cover with flat strip sewn to back at top and bottom, and simply looks rough and stained, as it did new.

When time and weather allows, will post, but nothing to write home about, a frontier sheath with stitching too modern neat paradox. I like it for its minimalism to cut down bulk on a short sword.

I have been wearing it around the property removing brush, small trees, and banana plants, the knife simply stuck in waistband.

Max, as for multiple pins, the ABS guys know from experience in having their knives submitted for destruction tests, that a lot of little pins are better than a couple of big pins when it comes to the 90° bend test with blade returning to within a few degrees of true and only 1/8" (or whatever) cracking allowed at hardened edge.









Mainly posted all the above in case you run across such a marked knife with MS on ricasso or blade obverse, at a reasonable price, it will not disappoint.
