I made knives as a hobby during high school (mostly putting handles on purchased blades). My dad gave me his old White Hunter (with a broken tip). I removed the stag handles and replaced them with kingwood, then (like a stupid teenager), sold it. Fast forward twenty-odd years, one evening at a consignment auction house they put a couple of knives on the table, and one looked familiar...
I was able to buy that knife back, and it's now in my desk drawer, and never leaving my possession again! I saw one at a gun show last year- I, too was shocked at the price!
How much for the knife fellow free per? Hahaha.
