Hey Ken,

Send me a pic of the Trail Master with stag handles. Tell me what you want for it and we'll see what happens, 

thanks,

Thinking about thinning out the herd a bit.

Who would be interested in both of these  COLD STEEL TRAIL MASTER model(s)?

I have two, both thirty plus years old.

TM #1 Looks to be a standard Trail Master, rubber handle, synthetic sheath, all original papers, label says:

NO. 16JS

1PC.

TRAIL MASTER

MADE IN JAPAN

I've owned this knife for over thirty years...new in the box

TM #2 Looks to be a Trail Master, stag handle, leather sheath, knife has never been placed into sheath, all original papers, label says:

16S

TRAIL MASTER - STAG

1 PC.

 Opposite end label reads:

MADE IN USA

Can send pics of both if you are interested. Thanks

Ha - vindicated! Gotta love those double-headed coins!  :-D

Comment by John Smithers on September 26, 2022 at 10:20

oops.  You were right.  the picture with the two kalinga folders and 2 fixed blades ARE Akonuas.  The Kalinga fixed blade is next to the Talwar.  You flipped the coin correctly.

Comment by Lars Ray on September 25, 2022 at 21:52

Ahhh..so it is a Kalinga...I wasn't quite sure when I commented. I obviously spent too much time flipping that coin... :-D That's a great side x side comparison - gives some good scale as to the actual size of the Talwar. 

Comment by John Smithers on September 25, 2022 at 16:25

I put the Talwar next to the full size Kalinga.  It shows just how large the Talwar is.  Holding the Talwar is such an awesome, and odd, experience.  I can almost hold the Talwar with two hands on the handle!

Comment by John Smithers on September 25, 2022 at 16:22

the bottom one is a Buck Kalinga.  The top two are Buck Kalinga Folders, pro.  the top 2 are S30V steel. The Kalingas have been out of production for a while.

The Kalinga below is a Pro model.  It is in S30V steel.

That's a sweet pair of Buck Akonua's you there as well John. Your Talwar XL will look great among this group.

So what are the two folders? 

Comment by John Smithers on September 25, 2022 at 10:32

DLKG - I did not check on the size.  I bought it because of the shape of the blade!  when I got it I was truly shocked!  (in a good way)

John Smithers, That looks to be a Talwar XL -- nice choice for a first Cold Steel!  People just tend not to appreciate the immense size of these knives until they finally hold one.  Pretty cool.  Enjoy it!
