I needed a new knife as I lost my made in china Buck and never shed a tear. I am not a knife collector by any stretch, however, my Dad cautioned me never to buy a cheap knife. Hello Epay. I found an old Uncle Henry Stockman and picked it up for 20 bucks. It has been sharpened but all three blades are tight and it shows little wear. The handle is not real stag but a plastic called "Staglon". This knife has a very handy size of 3 7/8 inch closed and good feel. I hope to keep an eye on this one!
