In 1975 S&W started a set of four knives referred to as the Collectors Series. Each knife was to be serial numbered 1 to 1000 and the production ended by 1980. The blades were etched and the guard and pommels were sculpted sterling silver. The general consensus is that only 800 complete sets were made (The Knives of Smith and Wesson by C E Rinke). Looking through some old knife magazines (National Knife Collector August/September 1979 issue) I found and ad that I believe changes that information. The ad states that only 225 of the last knife were made for sets. (Completed knives were most likely numbered to match completed and sold sets). As I personally own one of these sets, I was glad to have found this out. I just wanted to put this information out there for those that are researching information on these knives. So, in short that mean there would only have been 225 complete sets.
