I'll post their contents as soon as I process the pics. If you want, for now, try and guess what came in them

The 1300-3 designation might give away what was in the white box after some Google-fu, but no idea on the black box. Anxious for pics!

First, let me quote Ken Onion sharing some history of the series this knife is a part of

I ground and ground and needed help so I hired Tom Mayo to help me grind the rest . Hand polishing S90V is like handsanding S30V so after a few months of that wore us out so we decided to do the rest in scotchbrite. The handles are shaped by hand also . It is almost a custom.

And here's the knife:

Enjoy.

Very nice find there! Is that anniversary one just a one off, Or was there a regular model of it? It kind of looks like the new crown is similar to it? How big is it?

There were 500 of them made (says so on the certificate and blade, pics of both are there). It was made in 1999, as you can also see on the blade I'd say it's same size as Random Task and Ricochet, blade is about 3.25". AFAIK this was the only run of this knife, no regular production version.

That isn't the original box for that beautiful knife, the box is a Lake Oswego Knife box from the Seventies, the Anniversary knife was made in 1999. Great find.
