I enjoyed viewing the collection. I hope someone in the forum can help me out. I have a large Ka-Bar "Grizzly" assisted opening folder that was given to me by a dear friend almost 50 years ago. It belonged to his dad, a Wyoming rancher. As I recall, my friend thought his dad got it in the late 20's or early 30's and used it often to dress deer and elk. The knife is in excellent condition. I have photos, but don't know how to post them in this forum. Can anyone give me an idea as to the value and collectability of this knife? I am at a point in my life where it is time to start departing with some of my "stuff." Anyone have an interest?
