I grabbed the following text from a website...
"All of the models (Plainsman, Planter and Game Warden) carry the same model number. The Game Warden however added two variations and gave these models the numbers 972 with the second blade and 973 with the gutting style blade. These last two models are very rare and a collector favorite."
This knife shows very little use on secondary blade
Main blade was used and sharpened, has some scratch lines on it...
Pit visible along spine, see pictures
Overall nice piece
1973 seems to be when it was made
$125 PayPal add 3.5% if not as gift
Includes conus shipping
Trades-Spyderco non-h1 steel, I have plenty of those
Maybe benchmade depends on models, other folders considered
