Anyone else have these? (Limited Edition Caterpillar Knives)

[mqqn]

Hi Folks -

I bought these from the Cat Safety Store 10 or 12 years ago, and I have never seen these knives anywhere else, except for a friend of mine who bought at the same time.

There are three knives in the set - the first is an all brass handled knife commemorating the company -

The second commemorates Caterpillar Agricultural Products. It is silver plate with 24kt gold "selective plating".

And the last one commemorates the 75th Anniversary of the company in 2000. It has silver plate handles with brass accents, and features a black-chrome blade with etching. (The picture makes it look all beat up, but it is in very good shape, I'll work on better pictures.

Does anyone else have these? Ever seen one?

best regards -

No, I've never seen them before, but they're beautiful knives. Thanks for posting.

Thanks cgmblade -

I have found a page where KutMaster shows these, but there are some small discrepancies in the descriptions - i.e. my knives have a small insert that describes the 24kt gold accents on solid nickel handles that are silver plated, where the KutMaster site says 14kt gold.

Here is a link to the info at KutMaster - I don't think these are available anymore as I bought them in 1988-2000 and they were limited editions (500 each I think).
