I've seen them bring up to $45 for the double xx whittler and large stockman on eBay. But what they are to me, is a part of US cutlery history, that's lost and not likely to be repeated in our lifetime. When a quality product was more important than volume sales. Those flawed seconds are still better quality than many Schrade imports with soft back springs , liner gaps and Brades with unreliable heat treatment.

I have seen a single line stamped at the tang, I've seen the xx and a couple other variations of tang scratches or stamps or grinds. Most of these knives have no flaws at all, They were just assembled with blades without an etch or different color handles etc. Usually any altered tang stamp meant it was a second even though they don't have any real defects. Not so collectable but still a fine knife. Usually salesman samples had a "SS" stamped on the bolster. I hope this helps.</p>
