That philosophy goes further than athletics, and I used that as a project manager on every pipeline and power line project that I was involved in. I used each project as a teaching opportunity, complete with entertaining questions.

Who Made This? When I brought this knife I didn't note who made it, I thought I would remember but I don't remember what I had for breakfast so that plan didn't work. There are no marking on the knife that I can see.

Sydney,
That's too nice a knife not to have a makers mark on it somewhere. Probably hidden the etching, you just haven't see it yet.
If you can't find it, you might shoot some pics to Tommy Clark @ Blue Ridge knives, he'd probably recognize the makers work.
Message me if you'd like his contact info.
"Possibly" Carlton Edwards ??

It looks like, either Zolan McCarty or his Grandson, Chris English's work. Although neither did a great deal of Damascus, the blade, thumb screw and, particularly, the handle shape looks like theirs.
Hope this helps, Capt. Chris
PS: Tons of Chris' work had a simple capital "Z" engraved on the finished piece as a tribute and homage to his Grandad...CCS
PPS: One of Chris' autos in Oosic.!

Thanks guys I haven't looked inside the liners, it may be there. I have had some Puma folders and that is where the serial #'s are. Capt. I will look at the blade with a mag. and see if there are any marks . Michael I was born in Marion, VA. and that is where Blue Ridge Knives are located and I would have never thought about them, thanks for jogging my memory and thanks for the tip.

Still don't know about the folder, waiting to hear from Blue Ridge Knives. I took some pics this weekend and here are some of those. First is a RB Special with fossil ivory, then some Sandra (Sandy) Brady scrim some on both side because I can, and some minis.

Sidney,

Great knives and scrim!

I wanted to include some other pics but I had to resize before could. Here are a few minis and some Arno Bernard's from South Africa.

Sidney,

Great collections of Mini's and Arno's.

Great collection!

Awesome Scrim!

The Z is really nice!
