Toting Frontier 4434 Powderhorn Black Delrin StockmanThe Powerhorn Series of the mid 70's - mid 80's were made by Camillus for Imperial Schrade (Albert Baer of Schrade ran the Camillus factory at the time). They were a premium line designed and built to be equal to the Old Timer offerings. They have carbon steel blades and are often overlooked by users and collectors. I've always thought they were aimed at the "booming" number of Black Powder enthusiasts of the 70's and 80's. J. Russell's re-introduction of the Green River line around the same time was also aimed at that "exploding" market. (puns intended on both) The wood handled "Double Eagle" line of these knives have SS blades.Here are some other examples in the collection.

Quote from: NutSAK on August 31, 2016, 04:32:07 PMI just did a little "shopping" to find out if Case is currently producing a series of mini trappers with the Wharncliffe, and they are--in a very nice looking sawcut antique bone.The sad thing is, I realized that the new one is $20 more than what I paid for the one pictured above in 2011. I've only recently been looking at traditional slipjoints again (thanks to this thread) after not buying any for 4-5 years. I am shocked by how much the prices have increased in that short period of time, and how much harder it is now to find a good deal on used knives.Day 16(Image removed from quote.)

That's a beautiful Trapper Terry!!!! What scale material is that?It's orange jigged bone. I haven't seen many with that color dye. It's from a 2007 run. I don't think it's the same as the Persimmon Orange they use today, but not sure as I haven't seen one of those in person.
2 or 4 bladed congress is probably my favorite pattern but I haven't seen many of any in this thread Am I alone in loving that pattern on here Just curious really

Day 4 of my 30 day challenge. Carrying the knife is of no challenge, but remembering to post a pic from the day, trying
Beautiful knife. You'll certainly never hesitate to use it now! (not that you did before)This is why I tend to shy away from mirror-finish stainless blades, BTW.
