David,
I know Allen pretty well. You did get a good deal on the knife. $375 is a very good price for it.
I have stayed as a guest of Valerie and Allen many times. His latest quest is for precision, and he achieves it. He has really made his shop into a precision work center with several VERY good and accurate machines, and has spent the time to learn how to machine to the numbers. You should have no problems with this one!

If that knife is in new unused condition, I'd say you made a great buy.
I have 2 of Allen's folders from past BLADE shows and I'd expect to pay at least $500.00 for one of his knives new....pre-when he gave up CNC and laser cutting or whetever else technology he was utilizing and went back to cutting his blades on a bandsaw., etc, and went completely "hand made" by him....by his ,and I agree, defintion.
Allen is a very creative maker with a lengthly future.
As a collector and as a maker, I would have no problem spending $500-1000, or more, for one of his folders depending on the materials, details and the price he is asking at his table at a knife show.

The model you have is the ORACLE.
Allen always made a cool Tanto style blade- This one is no exception. I can tell from here that it is really sharp too. (That's cuz "all" his knives are really sharp).
