In my Looking around I found another knife that looked pretty much a copy of yours it was on Arizona Custom Knives and it was signed Mcarty w/no Z in front.
If the name has a Z in front of it that is Zola McCarty the son of Mr McCarty who is deceased now for several years. He made some of the best custom folders you could buy. He made several fixed blade knives in his lifetime and they were nice and they are rare. I think there is still a web site up for Z Knives if he hasn’t taken it down since I think he quite making knives also. They are from Georgia.
I messed up on my info on your McCarty knife. The grandson that took over McCarty knives when he passed away and started the business of Z Knives is named Chris English. Sorry about that I got my people mixed up , but your fixed blade McCarty is a pretty rare piece.
That is good to know, I have another fixed blade that I got at the same time that looks similar to a Randall knife in the blade shape but has C.M. English on it
This is the C M English same serial number 001
