PRADEL Identity

Any idea if this is one of the many companies that reproduced this style of knife ? I think it had a bale originally...but not sure . I tried researching it , and get conflicting information on what the originals look like and what year it was made , and whether the boat anchor on it is correct or m...

Re: I just ordered a Buck Impact (Model 898).

Thanks for posting that.Since it's Bucks first auto I will be ordering two of them, one to display and one to put away. I have 17 Bucks ,mostly limited edition fixed blades, The quality for the price is hard to beat for an American made knife. It's a good solid company with great ethics.

I suspect it's just kind of a cheapee, it does snap open good, a little wobble both directions when open. It's 7.5" long, never been sharpe...

Someday I'll be o...
