Excellent quality original US-made Chestnut Trail Guide A-2 tool steel blade hunter-skinner knife made in the 1990s by Blackjack Knives in Effingham, IL, USA. This scarce model is unused, still in the original correctly-labeled retail box with Blackjack card and light-brown leather sheath. This is Chestnut Trail Guide model of Blackjack’s Classic Blades lineup; this knife is of the highest quality. Blackjack had always made extremely well-made knives from the best materials available. But their labor intensive production also made it hard to compete with cheap mass-produced Chinese junk. This was one of the main reasons why Blackjack went bankrupt. Below is this knife’s description:
