The knife is an aftermarket rehandle in my opinion. It should have a pommel (either cap style or birdshead), and finger grooves. Maybe even a parts knife from an older 171UH that was returned and sold in the closing. Poor lighting makes the sheath a tough call.

MM & Bill nailed it!
15OT sheath & after market handle & bad pics!
It sold for more than I would have paid for it. A quick check of completed sales for the ones made in the USA, shows a range of about $40 used to $135 MIB.

I collect these but this one was overpriced.When I emailed the seller for the number it was 55000 making this a mid production rehandle and when I questioned the cracks in the handles he said it was made that way to simulate Ivory handled knives.Arnold

Hi Arnold. If
anyone knows and likes these it is you, my man.
I should've known that's what it was intended to be, by the seller's description...
Here I am, thinking it was just stag, lacking much figure, sloppily rehandled, causing cracks around the pins. Who knew.
Stay well,
Bill
