Hey guys and gals, are any of you familiar with this seller? I just bought this and I have sent 3 emails to get the total with shipping and an address to send a payment to. His/Hers feedback is not that great, but I did get a good deal on the knife IF the deal goes down. I'm startin to wonder if He/She doesn't want to sell me the knife?

hey kelley, no recent neg feedback on them. but... the new rating system shows only description as perfect, the rest, comunication, shipping, etc are flawed. keep after them.

Well guys, I just got a total and an address from the seller. All it took was putting it up on this great forum! lol!

I guess I jump the gun sometimes but the less than good feedback scared me and usually sellers are very quick to send an invoice!

I really do believe I got a good deal so I was a little afraid they might not want to part with it. Guess I should be a more trusting person. Thanks guys, Kelley

I'll bet there are some dots hidden under the bolster. The blade etch wasn't used until around 1974 I think it was.

Well you know what BR. That would explain why I got a $100.00 + knife for $65.00! LOL! I never knew (or researched) when the canoe etching was first introduced. Oh well, it may not be a GREAT deal, but it's probably a good knife for a fair price! lol! I'll know when it shows up. Thanks for the lesson! In years past, I have collected 70's Case knives. Just now I'm trying to go a little earlier with the USA no dots. Thanks again, Kelley

Hey guys, it finally came in and I am pleased. Can't tell the exact year as I can find no dots. Bolster has them all hidden from every angle of the knife blade. Somewhere between 74 and 79.

I really love the bone on the back side. Kelley
