KnifeMaker Comment by Andy Larrison on July 26, 2023 at 13:44: Well said Mike! Happy hunting.

Comment by Mike Bryant on July 26, 2023 at 11:37: Thank you so much Andy for your dilligence and your contacts providing the pictures. .Your right now that I know what I am looking for the Hunt begins in earnest. I always accept the fact I may never find what I am Hunting, The Hunt is what it is all about or at least we say it is. Once you capture what ever your hunting then yes we have the Trophy but that means their is 1 less Trophy to hunt. Additionally until IKC came along we really didn't have a place to display our Trophies! At least here we can show them off to our friends.

KnifeMaker Comment by Andy Larrison on July 26, 2023 at 8:46: Ok, here you go Mike.

KnifeMaker Comment by Andy Larrison on July 26, 2023 at 5:38: Ahhh, "the hunt"....that's part of the fun right there.

Comment by Mike Bryant on July 25, 2023 at 17:37: Thanks again Andy for your continued help in finding ALL the information on this knife. Any information you garner please post it & also pictures if you get them from your friend. I sure hope to be able to see the Tin. LOL I was thinking of just buying a box from 2014 for it. Now I won't pursue that idea, as i like to keep things authentic or at least replace with like items. Once I see the original the hunt will go on!

KnifeMaker Comment by Andy Larrison on July 25, 2023 at 12:00: It also came in a tin. I'm waiting on a picture of the tin from my friend Ted in Virginia. He said he has all of the Skip tour knives but just couldn't remember which dealer it was at. You need to remember that back in 2014 Case was still doing several tours within the tour seasons. For instance, that year they were doing the celebration tour but also had the "Built in Bradford" going within it. Several years you'd see the Historians Tour pieces and/or the Artisan Tour pieces at the same time. Things have really slowed down on that side of things.

Comment by Mike Bryant on July 25, 2023 at 9:24: Thanks goes to Andy Larrison for the corrected information. I have corrected the error. If anyone determine the Original Dealer, please send th information along. Even with this knife being S.F.O. which I feel this knife is, the Historical information unless documented gets lost very quickly.

KnifeMaker Comment by Andy Larrison on July 25, 2023 at 5:38: I was wrong on the signature. It's Skip Laurie, the former QC manager at Case. It was for the Built in Bradford Tour during the 125th anniversary year. We're not sure at which dealer this knife was at, but confirmed it's Skips signature for sure...not Ed's.

Comment by Mike Bryant on July 24, 2023 at 18:43: Yeah I am not a Muskrat Collector. Only have a couple but I thought for less than $50.00 I will bid on it. To my surprise i won. I expected it to have some corrosin on 1 blade but it didn't
