The sides were plastic - not scale. Walked this set around several gun shows and was accused of being a cheat and a liar for reproducing a fraud. Oh well.

John, if they had put jigged bone on that one of your Dad's, it would most likely bring close to original Bullet price. I foolishly sold my full set of original Bullets years ago to finance a Parker I "needed".

After years of carrying Beretta knives of one type or another, I bought one of the SOG Stout FLK knives when the first appeared. I read about it in a knife magazine . Have had it over 2 years , carried daily. Used daily too. Most comfortable knife I've ever carried and used. I still haven't resharpened it, as it's still razor sharp. Quite nice in the hands too. Prob my last knife I'll own for carry, unless I lose it...

Curmudgeon alert: I just can't warm up to the new-fangled knife designs. Good thing the world wasn't left up to me: we'd probably still be throwing rocks for our food

Ya, my EDC prior to this was a CaseXX backlock with burnt bone handles and slim width design. Was very nice knife, but always seemed to find it's way to an uncomfortable spot in my pocket. Not a huge fan of liner locks, but this one's mechanics are flawless in ops and very easy to operate under duress.
Getting older has brought me to see the advantages of some ideas I might otherwise never realize how cool and nice they work. Like double barrel side by sides. And now desirable double triggers. Plus advantages of splinter forearms, and even a Win 21.. Who know what else I may come to enjoy.

Double barrels, double triggers and splinter forends have always been on my list; along with good old pocket knives with bone or stag scales. That’s my jam as the kids say

Can anyone tell me if this is an authentic Swiss Army Knife? It was given to me 70 years ago by my godmother. I used to carry it a lot, so the loop is missing,but it still is useful, guarding my dresser drawer

According to what I found on the web that logo was used on Swiss army knives around 1931. Looks legit to me!

Thx. I got it around 1955

Cool knife with provenance!
