Brian Wolfe Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I've sold all of mine except the one that belonged to my father. I did keep a book titled "Fighting Knives" by Frederick J Stephens with some good examples of F-S knives. It is hard to tell from your photos but there are examples in the book that look a lot like yours. There were many manufacturers of these knives and once they satisfied the government contracts they sold them on the commercial market. Most have wooden handles that were sold commercially but I would not be surprised to find out that some metal handled specimens found their way to the shops. A nice knife and well worth some more research. Anyone have an idea of the value for Paul? I know I would gladly buy back the ones I've sold for double what I got for them 20 years ago. I'm not suggesting.... Cheers Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
