Mark

thank you mark i was worried that i paid to much sence i dont know much about knives so i thought that i would ask here sence my husband talks alot about all the smart people here on this site

No need for concern, you stole it. You could buy knives for me any day. And yes, the 2007 is when it was made.

Hello miss8ball***____the knife is indeed a 2007 year of production_it's a #73 Pattern Trapper Scout,Charcoal Jigged Buffalo Bone scales_3 3/4 in.__ 1095 carbon steel blades___the number 064 is the serial number of your knife to production totals,hence #064 of 98 pcs. made with that Charcoal handles ???____ "pattern production finale",was to signify,the last run, of that pattern knife with that handle material, GEC was running__they have not made anymore of that particular knife since 2007___when the company first started, they would run so many knives of a pattern,with different handle materials / colors then change to another pattern,but didn't start the serial numbers over,---rather kept counting totals (I'm confused too !!!! ) ____and I agree,with Mark about the price the 2007 knife below,is for sale @ $75 at a dealer, right now!!!! ** great buy and nice knife !!!__________Monk
