Hi jamese, welcome to the forum, pics would be a big help with the identification if you can find a way to post them, there are several members here that are very good at that, sad to say i'm not one of them. :oops:

I won one back in 2001 or so on bladeauction, Stu had it and I paid $35 for it. Seems like it was stamped inox but don't remember for sure. You didn't see alot of faux stag for some reason or another. It's defiantly Italian!

As long as you didn't pay out the arse for it, no one ought to lose any teeth over the matter. :wink:
The faux stag is rare but only raises value if someone is trying to find a stiletto of each scaling.
Try not to think of "future value", and go only for what really turns your knobs :idea:
Glad you're happy with it :!: 8)

Too many people are caught up on numbers, paid $99 so I gotta get $100 ! Maybe they don't have any retirement benefits or 401k but to me a few dollars one way or the other doesn't matter if its a knife I like.

I collect what I like. Not what I can resell at a profit.
