Columbia River for Ruger - just arrived from the guy that bought it in 07. Box, papers etc.

Thanks for the tip about leaving it in the car.

It was cheap, so I don't expect a lot, but I am liking it so far. It seems well made, but it's only been a month or so.

If you want a backup here's a decent price... less than $7 shipped.

Don't leave it in the car or exposed to any element, the plastic frame will shrink and crack. Mine cracked all the way through right at the pivot. Other than that it was a sharp ergonomic and smooth Big5 find. Feels like it rides on phos bronze bushings even though it rides on cheapo plastic rings. That what a lot of cheapo knives do... seem great until the day you need a knife.

Nothing Coleman on any of the booklets.

It's the pocket better

The svord peasant knife! Surprisingly fun to use and cheap for carbon steel I recommend the mini as it f

[FatCity67]

Not sure. This one isn't one of the earlier ones. I actually bought two. The other one is earlier. I had one in the early 80s, I thought it was stolen out of my car. My son recently revealed that his mom was the one that stole it

Very nice either way.

I suspect you might narrow down the time frame by comparing the booklets with the knives to Western Catalogs. If there is no Coleman marks on the paperwork then they are probably pre 84’. Also Coleman-Western knives usually have that name stamped on the snaps on sheaths.

[FatCity67]

Theses were made in the 70's. There were I think 3 models in the series. Coleman even had a engraved edition that was I think the 701.
Long out of production.

That sir, is one helluva gift. Gotta be worth thousands. Does it have any special memories for you? grampa's blade? Did your dad use it in the war or on hunting trips?

This knife was given to me by my cousin. He's really more like an older brother, he came to live with us when he was 12.
He used to be a hunting guide and I know he's chopped apart quite a few elk with it.
He's a knife enthusiast. You can literally shave with this knife. Every time he comes over he sharpens all of my knives. I wish I could sharpen like he does.
