Here is the inspriation behind Craigs dagger in the block idea.
A long story about how I came about this dagger in the block which Craig (DOGPOUND) and Makael played a big role in and to whom I owe a great big thank you to.
5-6 years ago I purchased a collection of 143 knives from a retired 30+ year Buck employee for next to nothing and part of that collection was this dagger in a block of wood.
That collection is what started me on collecting Buck Knives. I gave the dagger as a gift not knowing it's value or desirability as a collectable to someone who saw it as having special meaning to them. A few years passed and than
not too long ago pictures of the dagger were posted here on the forum by Craigs good friend Makael. I contacted Makael and mentioned to him that the dagger was originally mine and that I was a bit disappointed
that the dagger I gave away as a gift is now being sold. He mentioned it to me that Craig now had the dagger. I than got ahold of Craig and told him if it was going to be sold
I would like to get it back so please let me know what he needed to have for it. Next thing I knew it was back in my hands and it didn't cost me a thing.
My hats off to you two Makael and Craig as well as others who were part of getting this dagger back to me. A big thank you to you guys. Great people for sure.
