Re: Would you have bought this 1894
That is outstanding. What would be even much more better is if it doesn't have the nasty 1:38 twist barrel. It could have a ballard rifled 1:20 or so and would be a fantastic 405 gr chunk chucker giving original 45/70/405 terminal performance. Hope you got that one.

Absolutely. What are the details? Blade thickness.... what steel....
It looks like the grip is secure, you won't likely slide your hand onto the blade when it's slippery.
It is similar to my Morseth which has been a great blade for gutting out and boning venison.
