My dad picked these up recently, and I was wondering if any of you could shed some light on them. As far as prices, and date ranges go.

The first is a cherokee made by frost, Bob Cargill sidelock deisgn (collaboration) NIB. Has harley davidson emblem color etched into the bone scale.

Next is an american blade AB-5, really nice knife, NIB was wondering a price and age on it too.

This one is a parker buck 110 look alike, NIB, has different tang stamp and blade is etched Texas Sesquintennial. Genuine "sandbar" stag handles.

I've got a few more, but I'll work on IDing these first.
Thanks in advanced

On the parker buck 110 look alike, does the box have a model number or a stock number?
On page 271 of Jim Parker's pocket knife traders guide, vol 6, it says that there were 2 series of Parker and Son knives 1982-1982, maybe that's a typo, I don't know. Seems like it would be 1982 and another year. What are the specs on that lockback? I can check a couple other books.

Found this on ebay:

This one is a bit different though there are other lockbacks listed on page 298, vol. 6

AB-5 Genuine smooth bone Lock Blade Knife. Approximately 4 1/2 inches closed. American Blade Knives were produced by Parker Cutlery for approximately 1 year in the early eighties. Parker came out with this line to place in department and hardware stores intending to differentiate it from his regular line. These knives teature the American Blade tang stamp and an eagle logo on the master blade. They were manufactured in Seki Japan in 1984.

That's all I as able to find, no price.
