Thanks bob,
A friend told me the local hardware store was carrying case folders with Damascus blades and prehistoric ivory handles. I went in and asked the clerk he pointed them out. The case knives looked great but I noticed the bear and sons had a richer look to the steel and it didn't take a minute and I bought and walked out the door with it. I didn't look the knife over to well and when I got home I saw the serial number on the blade. I was going to use the knife for skinning but its a safe queen now. Planing on getting another Damascus blade stag handled bear and sons as a working knife in the near future.
