My First exposure to Quality Blades...

[By By Digby]

About twenty years ago I remember reading in the S.O.F. magazine about a custom made knife.I will never forget it.This knife was called { The S.T.23 Fighting Knife } Does this ring a BELL? I am wondering if anyone has any pictures of this knife.At the time there was a 1 one year waiting list for this knife.The price was around $300.00. Who made this knife? What was his name? What would this knife be worth today,Ernie Emerson might even have one. IKIRUU

The ST-23 is made by Bill Moran. He no longer takes orders. It's available through purveyers in the $8-17,000 range (you should have picked a couple up at $300). I have one with a damascus blade. It's a beautiful knife.
