SMKW the End of an Era.

Happy to have received the CHRISTNAS Catalog from SMKW this year. I know many didn't. Sad to say that according to the last page of the catalog this is the LAST Printing since the 1970's. A standard in my knife collection Media are the SMKW Catalogs from many years. Somje of my early Case Classics were purchased from those old catalogs and the 1 Case xx 5165 1/2 pattern, Bull Knife I got for Christmas years ago for less then $65.00 came from those Catalogs. They were great reference materials. It is SAD that everything has changed so much. But I guess things change. This one may be worth a few $$$ in the future. I know the knife on the front cover is advertised for Big $$$ on ebay and is sold out on the web page.
