<p>Only problem with a letter of authenticity is that none of the one piece knives have serial numbers on them or any other marking other than the name that signifies they are from the original lot. I have never seen the three piece knife and don't know if those are serialized or not. As for Gus, not sure what his status is. Mike El posted back in 2014 that he got one of the knives from Gus' patent attorney. Maybe Mike can get a lead on Gus or provide the attorney's info at…</p>

<p>Another bit of advice on the knife is to not use it as a crowbar. You can actually break them if you pry hard enough as one of my commercial dive buddies did with his many years ago. I doubt lifting an abalone off of a rock will break it; I always use kelp to get them to lift up anyway. I always kept my edge pretty sharp so I could cut through whatever I needed to cut through. Worked well on large synthetic hawser rope.</p>

<p>Thank you Rick. I love to learn from someone elses experience. I'll tell ya, this looks like the original edge. looking under magnify lens, I can't find a mistake or scratch from a poor edge. Not very sharp and thinking I'd leave it like that. ? </p>
<p>Great input for me though.. thank you. </p>

<p>Keep an eye on the scabbard and look for any signs of excessive cutting. That will happen if you have a decent edge on the knife or if the scabbard is too large and the knife is allowed to move around a lot. (Voice of experience) </p>

These were all made in a machine shop in Subic Bay, Philippines and handed out to all my diving buddies. In 1980 I started making the one piece SeaWolf knife and sold them for four year. The original three piece knife sells for about $1,000, while the one piece sells for around $500.00</p>
