Wish I knew the history on that knife what year? What steel? What arm or leg did you give up for it?
Jerry made 3 for 3 brothers who wanted matching knives, back in '82, when he was first starting out.
Steel is D2 per Jerry.
They disappeared for several years, and then this one started showing up in pictures. Not sure who all owned it.
I first was picture when it belonged to, I think his screen name was Ru.
I put up a WTB in the exchange, and would keep bringing it to the surface for a few years.
One day, I get an email of a guy in Michigan asking if I was thatmguy, because when he posted in my WTB several tried to claim to be me.
Contacted, he offered at a price I could not turn down, and I bought it.
It was my grail knife.
Shortly after, I went to meet Jerry to get knives for a show, and took it to meet it's maker.
Jerry then relayed the story of the brothers, the knives, and how much went into the polish work.
I've told it before, only cost me $500. Best deal I ever had offered to me.
