Husband or boyfriend?  Well if she buys a good one for her boyfriend make sure you also have some piece of junk she can buy for her husband!

Lol, of course not I value Tobias opinion.  Now that I see what you are doing, you may just clean them yourself and shine them up. sounds like an interesting marketing plan.

B T W, that story was true, and at the time I was annoyed that he told me he would have paid more, but now, much older, I doubt he would have he was just full of it and being a bonehead. lol

Thanks Jan...just don't be the wife that buys it! If after you see the final product and you just can't live without one of my boxes...I'll make one just for you! I just don't think I could stomach the thought that you bought a cheap knife just to get a super cool Polish box!

But if you do buy it...I'll split the dollar with ya!  LoL!

what you have is the model CY15

with 1075 high carbon steel, value-not too high since over 1/2 million were manufactured- however, as far as knives go, this is an American made knife, made with U.S. Steel,  and even though the value may only be $20.00 its a heck of a knife for $20.,00- in fact, Colonial Knife products increase in value-over time- especially since this knife retailed for under $14.00 back in the 1980's- so you made money, got yourself and American made knife that today would cost close to $70.00 dollars or more-the tang stamp was changed from "Coyote" to "Colonial" this was my idea back in the 80's since we were selling large quantities I thought it would be a good idea for all to see that the knife came from Colonial Knife-

hope this helps

if at the Blade show, stop by my booth NO. 635 and say hello

Best
