i have 2 folding knives made by george hale,i bought them from him at a gun show in baton rouge,la. in the early 1980's.one of them has alligator skin handles with a small metal alligator on each side,and 2 pieces of ivory with 2 pieces of eastern blue turquoise in the center of the ivory,it has "hale" in capital letters engraved on the blade parallel with the blade at the top near the bolster.the other is called "folding tanto" it has elephant ivory handles,a tanto blade with temper lines on the blade,and 'hale' in capital letters vertical to the blade near the bolster.i also have a card with each knife hand written and signed by george hale,describing each knife.
does any one know anything about these knives,and is george hale related to loyd hale?
