This is what I found out about my knife for those that might want to know.

This knife was made by Frank C. Dodson. This was probably his first knife. By my research, he started making knives in 1977. This knife is a semi-skinner. The handle is zebra wood and the butt and guard are brass. The blade is probably a carbon Steel. It has a value of probably $400-$500. Thanks!

Thanks Jan.  I had seen the Phillip Dobson site before I didn't think he was old enough.  I will try Mr. Cook..

http://www.phillipdobson.com/ is an option but I am doubting it, he looks to young and the tang stamp is not right but that can change many times over for a maker

http://jrcookknives.com/ Mr Cook is a member of the Arkansas custom knifemaker assoc.  He may have some clues, maybe Dodson was a member.

The last possibility is that he purchased it at the show the assoc puts on every year in Little Rock.  If that is the case maybe someone in the assoc will know who he is, even if he was from out of state.  I hope this helps and please let us know?
