it is a four dot blade and i think that it is called the 'Kitty Hawk'
looking for more info now... on phone with the Big O, he said it was likely a proto type..
and he wanted to know were it come from ...
the man sending it to me said he got it along with some other knives from a pawn shop on the other side of Los Vegas ...
 
I saw that one posted on AAPK, interesting. There was a Kitty Hawk 110 done around then.

That's a nice looking knife Dave... You did good on that one.... :thumbup:
 
I have the art work for it but not the knife. It is an early Aurum gold etch knife in which only samples were made. See my list for 1985. FYI.

do you have any estimate of the number of samples?
i will be takeing this knife to post falls...
i assume you will be there?
when i said kitty hawk to Joe he thought of a air craft carrier!
it looks as good as the picts!
 
I can't come to Post Falls. Thanks for asking. I have been out of work for some time and have been out of unemployment benefits since March. I have spent 24 days at the plant doing research in 2005 and 2006 so I know the facility (including reference knives/blades and records) pretty well for an outsider. I will miss the activities.

When samples are made it is usually four or five - one artist proof and enough others for customer or company approval. The artist proof knife may not have the gold applied yet which is one of the reasons why etched knives without gold show up from time to time. Further, sometimes they have trouble with the etch process and extra blades are made that do not pass inspection. These blades have been dumpster dived and assembled into frames on many occations which is why we see so many odd ball knives without a history out there. FYI.
 
wow man!
had i had any idea we could have worked together to get you there!

that was a lot of work i know and your information is the defacto standard for info on buck.
would you like pictures of this one and some other odd ones i have?
like my brother i love the odd ball ones!
 
Thanks for the thought on the trip!

Any pictures you have of your rare and oddball knives would be appreciated. Please copy Joe Houser and Larry Oden if you can. I am trying to keep our records in sync in case of fire, flood, theft, etc.

Take care.

I echo APF's sentiments. Hang in there, Dick! I was out of work for two years until landing this job. "Don't let the bastards get you down!". ;):thumbup:
