Exactly Tony,
From Medford Oregon craigslist if anyone is interested, kinda far north for me and a little pricey.

A lotta pricey!

Now if Fred had etched his own signature into the blades....

I know of a woman who's husband was the VP of sales in Gainesville, and she has many knives, and other items for sale. Her Husband passed away. She sold 2 of them on ****, but they didn't go for that price. That reminds me that I am going to have to contact her soon. All the money she makes is going to some fund for a desert in Arizona that her husband loved.

For those of you that were interested, and wrote to me. Just want to let you know that I dropped an E mail today. I know that Knives were one of the things that the late husband collected from Bear. I believe that she said Fred used to come around and give them to people once in a while at the plant. And I made a mistake. The husband was VP of quality control, not sales. Will keep you posted if I hear back. Rather these pieces get in the right hands of true collectors.
