In Grandpa's old boxes...

[Rufuston]

Hello all, first post...so be gentle. =)

I have been charged with rooting through all of my Grandpa's collections of, well...stuff. He has unfortunately passed and had amassed quite an eclectic collection of decanters, guns and knives. I would appreciate your help in identifying this item. I am not looking for prices, as I would never sell it anyway, but would like to know what I have and possibly where he got it. Any links to sites would be great.

It is an original, in-box and sealed Chicago Cutlery 5 1/4" Folding Hunter Collection knife set. It has a knife, sheath and sharpener. It bears the mark B-319. Let me know if you need additional info...but as I said it is sealed and I am reluctant to open.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Rufus

Pictures would help.

Chicago Cutlery made sporting knives like this for about 10 years starting in the late 70s. Schrade apparently made many of them and some of the later knves were made in Japan.
