Before when I was going to show this knife I ran a search to see if any information was available out there. Found a thread on a "similar" knife. The thread was questioning a knife that was on the bay and its authenticity. Most were wary because there was no provenance. All I will say about that thread is the knife didn't seem to fit the time period.

So with all that said let me say I have no provenance, don't care and don't plan on ever selling this knife. When my son gets it after my last breaths he can do as he pleases with it. Not looking to have anyone authenticate this knife for me.

The knife is one of the 124 clip points that were made aprx. 74-75, more likely 75 by customer service upon request (these were factory production knives modified). After about 50 -100, no one knows exactly Chuck said no more. The Godfather has seen and held the knife and believes this is one of them.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Just thought some must be interested in seeing a 124 clip.

Very cool, gsea. Looks like a 119 on steroids. Curious, if it was built around 1995, why no date code?
 
WOW! I don't know how I feel about that. They took something with a very pedestrian shape and turning it into a sasquatch slayer. I kinda like it!
 
Nice and interesting. I think I remember the thread you mentioned. Wasn't that one a burgundy handle?
 
Very cool 124 variation gsea! Can you do a few more photo's with a standard 124 of the same era for comparison?

Thank you
JB
 
I believe Leroy made a few of those... If I remember right he still will make them... That's what he does...

:)
 
Leroy, has made black handle ones too... I think Stone does to (stag)... I would have to call him...

Joe H is the one to ask or call Leroy... :)
 
gsea - Thank you for the picture and information. This is exactly the reason I enjoy this forum so much. The information and knowledge is endless.

Great knife.
 
Now there's a design I have not seen. Nice knife. Too bad they do not make that version in CPM154 or S90V or something.
