I live in vegas N.v. and we have lots of pawn shops here. I cruise the pawn shops to find good deals on used knives and frequently I do. So this knife showed up at one. it has the same looking handle as an applegate-fairbairn from boker, but the dagger bade is different. it's really thick and at the botton maybe 2 inches it's serrated but not like a the boker. it's weird the serations are cut really deap and they are really pointy. and the gaurd is stainless like the blade not brass like the boker. the dagger blade is shaped slightly different than the boker I forgot to mention. it's a really nice feeling knife and comes with an Eagle sheath that fits it perfectly with no rattle at all. the only marking are, 440 ss. not stainless steel it says just, 440 SS. thay wanted 200 and I talked them down to 130 but I didn't buy it yet. Shoot I don't even know what it is. the sticker on the tag says Tony made knives and I asked they guy and he said people love Toney knives. so WHAT ARE TONY KNIVES? if feels good but could it be just a chinese rip off? or maybe somekind of well made knife although obscure brand?Tony?:confused:
 
I bought a MASTER folder made of 440 brand new for 5 bucks and it is made in CHINA. And they did it right. If that pawn shop gets that much for that knife than they got their money back. It is most likely made in CHINA???
 
Everybody knows about Tony knives - He sells the indestructible Miracle Blade!! :D :D

Seriously, I would be very careful about buying anything marked as you describe. It's been my experience that steel marked 440 stainless it is almost always the cheaper 440A steel. $130 bucks is awfully steep for a knife made with that kind of steel. (BTW, I've never heard of Tony knives)
 
I probably won't but it.well not for that much, I'll offer 50 tomorrow. I guess the sheath might be close to worth that much. I've handled an A-F before and this knife it way more solid and sharp, but if knowbody has ever heard of it then it's probably just a rip off. I like the Eagle sheath though.
