I'm tickled with it. Most of these sell on ebay for around $400, I got this one for considerably less. :D
Always nice to find an older (30 years) unused knife.

Thanks for the comments.
Yes, it's pretty much pristine and will stay that way while in my custody, this one is strictly an investment piece.

Great looking knife, made in Michigan. And Michigan Marbles are always cool.

Just for comparison, Trail Maker vs Trail Master.

Wow, I'm a big Cold Steel fan Ken, and I've never seen that Trail Master before now! That blade appears to be at least 5mm wide if not more, very impressive! Actually, upon looking again, your Trail Maker's blade looks to be around 5mm, so the Trail Master must be at least that! Wow, some serious bushwackin' abilities there! 8)

The Trailmaster is 5/16" thick. This one is O1 steel made in Taiwan, not sure if they are still making them but I'm guessing they are available as NOS.

That's just shy of 8mm, what a monster! Thx! 8)
