Lee - Your "entertainment center" is AWESOME !! I love the way you have it set up so you can admire your knife collection during commercials. Thanks for making me feel much less guilty about my OCD knife collecting.
The blades look scratched in the pics but there just smudged the knife is mint. I have a whole collection shark knives that a friend owned before he passed. Trying to find out what they are and what there worth for his wife. Lot of stag ebony and pearl.
Lee, I have poured through all my knife books (and I have several) and can't find a mention of your Great White--- IMHO, it was a SFO for either SMKW or Shepherd Hills--In 1990 only about 4 companies were doing SFO's with Case. The 2 above mentioned, Lowes (an exclusive blue bone series of which I happen to own one of their blue bone trappers) and Ace Hardware (doubtful)-- So it is likely either SMKW or Shepherd Hills---NOW, if only we knew some folks that had inside connections with those 2!! HINT, HINT--Jan and/ or Hog --ROFL
OK, it was not SMKW, nor was it Parker. Here is Jay Parker's reply
Hey Jan, It wasn't ours, I can't say that I have ever seen this one to be honest....Unique knife....Check with Shepherd Hills, it may have been something they did but I honestly don't remember it from their line either
SHC only started keeping records in 1995 and suggested that I contact the case historian. I just sent them an e-mail, I called the owner of the knife to let them know what I have found out so and offered to bring it back to them since I have all the info I need to find out what it is. They gave me the knife. I now have something to remember Larry Luster by. I think he would get a kick out of knowing that I have it.
I recall an old episode of Knives Live that featured all sorts of sharks knives made on the Mako frame. Maybe Steve Koontz could help? If it were an SMKW SFO then Steve probably had it produced.
I have found lots of mako's,hammerheads and sharks tooth's but no greatwhite's. Steve the forum you have found is the same knife that I have. Larry didn't have any luck finding anything about it back in 2011. He was the one who posted it. Here is what I know so far. It didn't come from SMKW. It's not a case classic. SHC didn't start keeping records until 1995. I'm lost. lol but i'm not giving up quite yet.
Well talk to Tommy at Blue Grass Mountain Knives-- it is not their SFO---he has seen a pic of one but does not know any thing about it-----Still Trying to find out info on it
