A later version of the Colonial Forest Master, probably from the 1960s-1980s. Condition is fair. Again it has the shell handles common in many of the economy line of camp knives.

I'm sure plenty of them didn't do so well.  They're decent enough but the furniture is pretty iffy.  The bales are prone to falling off as they just kind of snap in place on many of the low end knives.  The shell style handles are really cheap compared to bone or Delrin.   But the guts of the knife, while not as nicely finished and lack some of the snap of higher end knives are pretty good.   Springs are not as strong, however.   With all that said, I'm  very impressed with these "throw-away" knives.

 Always perceived as a lower end knife, each one I see has been used and is still holding up well 30-40 years later.  Wish we had forseen that when these came out.  I would have bought a bunch and just used them forever
