I bought two of the Herters version back in the 60s.....$3.97 each with sheath and a pamphlet. They were good but very hard.
I currently have two Grohmans that I like and use but my buddy brought a KOA to moose camp and I really liked it because
of the no=slip handle and it seemed to hold an edge better than other KOA knives I've used. Perhaps KOA has figured out
some tempering for their D2 steel. I've considered buying a KOA but the sheath SUX! Where can I get a good sheath built?

The younger generation look at my Grohmans and consider me as a senile old phardt while they use their replaceable blade
knives that I despise.
