Budget Indyesque knife

Not even close to screen accurate but still a very nice knife for an equally nice price. The blade could do without the 'STAINLESS' text and the ridges on the back but I saw this in the store today and couldn't help but buying one due to its classic look. The fittings are solid brass, it has a locking mechanism for the blade and the handles are polished wood... of the 'woody' kind.

Anyway, here is a pic modified a bit from the Swedish site:

If anyone is interested I can get more and better shots of it.

Cheers!

Wow, Swindiana! My knife looks almost identical to yours! The difference is that mine doesn't have the serated spine (unfortunately, because it looks really cool on yours), and mine doesn't have the text stamped on it. Otherwise the color of the handle and the size are a match.

For all my Jersey friends, you can find the knife at S-4 Army Surplus in Hackensack, and it was a real bargain, considering. Set me back about 40 beans, not including tax.

Great find, Swindiana!

Looking at the cover it came in it says: VALUE Tools. No clue where it was made though...

LL: Do you have a pic of yours?

Regards,

Unfortunately I don't have a digital camera and the only time I have access to one is at work, and they kind of frown upon personal use.

After looking at mine a little more closely, however, I noticed that it does have text stamped on it. It says "Buck". But the color is pretty close and the size is spot on.

And it has too small screws on one side of the handle.
