I grew up in Anderson Village, AK. I went to school with a kid named Teddy Meyers (couple years ahead of me). His dad gave my dad a knife. After I lost my father to cancer, it became my knife. One day (around '06) I saw some in a Bass Pro, in Orlando FL. I didn't have time to talk to the clerk about them but thought "Wow, they sure made it pretty far south". Just for laughs, (a few years ago) I tried to Google one, to see if they were still being sold. I found out Teddy's dad (Gator) was dead and there seems to be very few of these knives floating around. The few I could find were listed as sold. I have yet to find one that is available and mine isn't either. I would kind of like to know what I have here tho. Obviously, I need to stop storing it in the leather sheath and get that tarnish off the brass but I'd like to know just how special (sentiment aside) this thing is. Hopefully the picture will show it but - there are little chunks of gold in the sheep's eyes.

If y'all know more about this, than I do, clue a brother in please. Thanks.

Edit - Wow, those pix suck! The carving on the handle is actually pretty intricate
 
I just signed up in order to reply to your post. I don’t have any additional info for you, but
I have a Gator Meyers knife that was gifted to me around 1993.
I’m trying to sort out how to post pics & will do so soon.

That is awesome to hear! I will PM you an email address and I can get some actual pix sent to you and (hopefully) see some of yours. Maybe together, we will find out more about these things.

Hi, i've come into possession of 2 of gators knives. Beautifully carved and very well made knives. I'm not attached to them and hoping you can shed some light on the value of his knives. I'll post pictures as soon as I figure out how to.
 
Cool knife.

Three things:

1) T Trailer_Ape Basic members cannot PM. You need an upgraded membership.

2) J Jamierayo You need a pic hosting site to post images. Imgur is good and free. Upload your pics to Imgur, select your pic and click the button for "message boards and forums." Copy and paste that link here.

3) S sn14 Did you read the rules of this site?? You are not allowed to ask about the value of a knife unless you have an upgraded membership.

The thread was from 2 years ago, got bumped by new guy looking for value. Trailer ape hasn't been on for a year and a half
