Any Cold Steel Experts?

[three50seven]

I looked at a knife today at a gun show, and now I'm wishing I would have bought it. It was a large sheath knife with an antler or bone handle. Blade was approx. 7" and was marked Cold Steel Made in USA along the face of the blade. Blade shape was a drop point, kind of reminiscent of an older bayonet. I don't remember what the sheath looked like, but it was leather. It appeared to have some age on it, and I can't find a picture of anything that looks similar. Any ideas?

If it's made with the old Carbon V steel it's a good knife. I'm thinking it's the Recon model.
Pictures would be helpful.

The blade didn't look right for the Recon. I'm thinking maybe someone replaced the original handle with the antler one that's on it now.

Was it a trail master?

That looks like the right handle. The writing was running parallel with the blade though. Maybe just a different era or issue. By the looks of it, I should have bought it. He was asking $100

I picked up one of those Trailmasters in a box with a bunch of stuff at an auction. Too large for me as a working knife, but it's held up well as everything from a tile scraper to a gardening digging tool.
