Finally got one!
Been on the scout for a R3843 for quite a while but never found one for a price I was willing to pay - bid on a few on eBay but always was outbid. Well this weekend I found one in very good condition, for a reasonable price. Adopted it and now resides in a good home in Texas! No handle chips or cracks that I can see, all blades function as they should except snap on master is a little weak. Knife is pretty dirty so it may perk up some after I clean it up.

Re: Finally got one!
Thanks for all the comments. Perseverance pays off!
Jerry I'm gonna get some Quick Release and give it a try after all the positives I've heard. Already got a lot of dirt out and improved snap with some Tuf-Glide.

Ken, Glad the stars finally aligned. Looks like you snagged a fine example!
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Re: Finally got one!
It is nice to have a couple of other brands to collect. Sometimes when it seems like the prices on Cases get a little crazy I like to take a little break and concentrate on my Empires and a couple other brands. Gives you a new perspective when you get back into the Case Race.espn77 wrote:Thanks. Its been fun. Mostly what I have been collecting is 70's case. This has been a nice change
