I have only seen one and it was simple straight forward WORKING knife and was very good at that task.
The owner of the knife had commissioned the knife when from Ruana when he was out west on a hunting trip and picked it up on a return trip or it was shipped later.
I used that knife on a deer when Jack offered it and it was great in the hand and highly effective at the task at hand.
Jack bragged heartily on the edge holding ability o the steel and offered up an example, that his was used it to gut many deer at a check station during a special survey hunt.
I think one of the claims on his knife is that they were all made from the leaf spring of a certain year and make of car.
Makes sense because they should all likely be of the same steel alloy.
51 Studebaker comes to mind, but I could be wrong, it has been a LONG time since Jack told me the details about his knife.
His son was also producing knifes and I have never heard how good they might have been.
Jack has been gone for years so there is not even a way to check with him.
If only he (Jack) could see the Tennessee turkey populations now!
