Historical Context
The Appaloosa series was a popular specialty run in the late 1970s. Because of the natural variations in the bone and the hand-finished nature of these vintage knives, the "spotting" on each handle is unique. These 1970s models are often sought after for their carbon steel or early stainless steel quality and the craftsmanship typical of the Bradford, PA factory.
