Hi Paul,
Thank you so much for the information about the knives and storing them. I had no idea the celluloid material caused problems, I do have a couple so will keep them separate. I read about Jim Parker, some were not very happy with him.
There are several Sunfish on the AAPK site. One posted yesterday with Mother of Pearl but the price is 800.00. Just cannot bring myself to do that.
I would really love to go to a knife show to do some knife hunting, maybe they will be a "thing" again.

Hi Paul,
I have a question regarding the numbering of knives. I was looking at a Case knife that said it was 1 of 2500. I did some looking around and found the same exact knife from other sites that were also numbered 1 of 2500. My assumption was that the "1" meant it was the first of 2500 but I must be wrong. Does the number indicate it is part of the 2500 lot?
