Nice find BTW.

I have 3 of these... different patterns. 1 has the Boker USA tang stamp. The other 2 (this one included) only have the pattern number on the tang.

Deere, are you making a statement with that knife and card or just showing a knife?

A bit of description or disclaimer on your part would be beneficial.
