Need to make a correction here. This BB sheath is made by HKL

I post this in response to Joe's wonderful article in the Knife News #7 issue about the use of brown micarta. This knife was passed to me by my dad, however he was not the original owner. I have posted this knife before, inquiring as to the "scout" etching, as well as the additional thumb notches. I've seen the etching "scout" on a couple knives, passing through eBay, in the past. The reason for this post is the brown micarta....I hope it is of interest.

Cool old knife! Is that one of the early Model 11's?

That's truly a rare bird.

I believe it is, but I'm not the person that would know. I lack the knowledge.

I must be getting soft in my old age..... I bought a knife that is not a fighter!!!

Late 40's model #3 with a 6" blade. Small stamp, nickel silver hilt, pinned stag handle with a thong hole and a Heiser riveted, wide flap sheath.

Yea, you really ruined your collection with that one, Mitchell.

Ooooh!, that's puuurrrty....

Not soft, you have evolved! You need this one two:

Love the lines on those old knives!
