You don’t suppose it was stolen do you? That might explain why the seller didn’t recognize what he had. Anyone that paid over 300 dollars for a knife doesn’t knowingly sell it for 60 bucks. But drug addicts who just want money won’t take the time to research and find out what these knives go for.
I know, a drug addict in our family stole a knife from me. He didn’t want it he wanted the money to buy more drugs. I guarantee you that he didn’t look it up to see what it was worth before he sold it or traded if for his drug of choice.
In this day and age this would be a pretty common problem.

Nice pick ups, all of them. I was wondering where that little cut co would end up, it looks to be a 7663. Not a common pattern especially with the flat bolsters.

Definitely not stolen unless you consider 60 bucks plus shipping as the steal...drug addicts may do messed up stuff, but the people who take advantage of their problems are usually smart enough to not do pawn shops or Internet. Now divorces, widows and women can be oblivious to the prices of knives-SSK.__ Paul, I have a schrade book and I'm having a little trouble with the pattern numbers on the cut co knives. Here is the pattern and I have a picture of what I found that is similar, but the numbers aren't the same. Any help would be appreciated ~jp

I have seen a few cuts with numbers stamped like yours, I have no idea what they mean and they don't correlate with the pattern number as far as I know. Most cuts don't have anything stamped on the reverse side and I've never seen any with the pattern number stamped.

You ought to post it in the schrade section, one of the more knowledgeable folks there could probably tell you more about what the numbers are for.

2 3/4" Parker "Collector Series" lock back
2 3/4" Parker bone lobster knife
and a 5" C.I. steel lock back with handle inlay.

C.I. is "Compass Industries". They had knives made in Japan in 1980's ? They are good knives, not Moki level, but usually better than average from Japan at that time. This big 5" folder is rather odd but is strong and hair poppin' sharp. Kind of knife that could last a lifetime. For $12, an excellent deal.

KJ, The C.I.knives I have owned in the past were all very high quality, not up to Moki standards as you say, but they are very good. Those are all nice old knives.
The quality of these 80’s Japan made knives is amazing compared to the cost. I wonder if the market place will every bring cost and value more in line some day?

Floyd, do you have a Buck Spitfire? Not necessarily a Blue Line but an everyday 722 Spitfire or a 721 Slimline?

None of the above. Jerry I have only owned a couple of Bucks in my life. Lost one in the early 80's and gave one to my brother in law and grace last year.

Aye laddie. She's a hefty gal & a smooth operator. I have 6 & over time have had about ten. There's another on the way as we speak. Love the way they feel in my hand.

Welcome Joe! Nice bunch of knives you got at the gun show, especially the Case Knives. My wifes people were railroaders in the past, her Granddad was ACL/SCL out of Waycross and Rocky Mount and her brother was SOU RR out of Atlanta. OH

Got this Bulldog Country Doctor knife from our own AAPK store Mark's Collection. I think the bone handles are beautiful although there is a tight crack. It is a 1997. Thanks Mark for a great knife.
