"I happen to know exactly who made that knife: a maker by the name of Bob Schopp in Montana. The sheaths were made by Jay Dean of Bodean Hide Works in Helena. Many of the knives were sold by Moreys Gifts, also in Helena. Sadly, Mr. Schopp committed suicide in 2001. Last I heard, Mr. Dean wasn't making sheaths, but he may be back in business by now."

Thanks for the info guys. I found this over a another forum with the name you gave me.
"These knives are made about 15 miles from me by Bob and Christie Schopp. (hence BCS) The mark is actually a rattlesnake if you look close. He used to have several employees and make all kinds of knifes liteally by the ton! He just works by himself now and mostly sells at the Sturgis Biker rally. I still heat treat stainless for him occasionally, but he mostly works with 1095. Bob is a Vietnam Combat Vet and his wife is a tatoo artist and they are a nice couple." Rob Simonich

Well that is what I have found out from this forum and one other. Reguardless I am the proud new owner of this knife and find myself wondering what it is worth.
