Hell, I couldve had #043!! I got the higher ## cause I had planned on using it. But, I have decided on not using mine. I only used it once to eat dinner. The guy @ the knife shop did not know that the ## were for the individual collector.He just thought they were serial ## like any other limited edition more or less. I guess in the end all that means is that I have somebody else's knife. It is not worth more than any other Chinook since it isn't "My" collector ##. Heck, maybe I could get on the Spyderco forum on the website, find the guy, and see if he wants to buy it from me. I threw the box away though.
