Top one that I carved the handle for was my "deployment" blade.

I always found Lynn Thompson to be an ass. I attended a gunsite workshop in the mid 90s and he was instructing, just came across as a used car salesman. Was a bit put off if your preferred blade of carry wasnt a Cold Steel.

Dude you're missing out. Get say a SOG or a Kershaw knife, and you'll notice quite a big difference.

I found this knife for the second time in an old box out in my garage full of stuff from about 15-20 years ago. I first found it when my two sons and I were out on Safari at one of Michigan’s Great state Metro Parks, the Kensington Metro Park in Milford Michigan. My sons were about 5 and 8 years old and we had my very old, but still working metal detector with us. We were out to find buried treasure. We did not find any pirate gold but were did find various bottle caps, a few pennies and this knife buried in the ground! Let me tell you, finding this knife was like finding an ancient Viking sword for those boys. We cleaned it up and it was in surprisingly good shape. 4” stainless steel blade, still very sharp. The handle appears to be mahogony wood and it works great. The knife is very solid and has a very nice weight and balance to it. One of these days, if I ever have grandchildren, it will be handed down to them with a great story.

Great story. The Sharp 300 (and Sharp 200) are Japanese folders I've stumbled across from time to time. I think the handle is actually ebony (just a light example), but it's possible they produced these with more than one wood. They seem to hold up well, as most examples I've seen have been in condition similar to yours - the stainless actually doing its job.
 
If I recall correctly, these were 440C steel, and were made under contract for K-Mart in the 80s

Sorry about the crappy light cell-phone pic. New GEC Texas camp knife. It's a beast.
