Stag Transitional from Maniago

[Quaero]

Quaero, I thought the knives you were posting were a little too nice for you to be a noob

I'm still a noob at heart, good to see you here my old friend.

I understood transitional to mean knives made from the late 1950s to early 1960s with any of these characteristics: Swedge blades, one-piece kick/back springs, swivel bolsters or newer button assemblies. However, I don't care for the term for the reasons stated above in that there is disagreement about what it means. At least bayonet blade, so called because it resembles the post-World War II GI bayonet, everyone knows what you mean.

Agreed, and a poor term which could describe most anything.
