EK question

[barrabas74]

I own an EK knife that is similar to the desert storm model and others in blade design, However it has a shiny finish with stag handles and a brass gaurd. I was wondering if it was rare or anything, I have refrained from carying it due to my curiosities. Sorry no pic but I have looked online for it but have been unable to find one that is exactly it. So any help would be nice if anyone knows EK.

I haven't seen many Eks with stag handles, but the brass guard indicates it was the "Deluxe", as opposed to Field Grade.

Here's a stag handled Ek Bowie, made in Richmond Va. I think the asking price at this site is a good indicator of the rarity and value of your knife: http://www.michiganknives.com/ek_-_richmond.htm

If your's is Effingham (if they made any with stag) I suspect it would be worth less than the for-sale Richmond knife.

Hope this helps,
Bob
