I was at a local gun show on Sunday and walked by a table with various things for sale. One was a folding knife that caught my eye as it looked very rugged and almost home made. I picked it up and was amazed by the size of the actual blade. It had the initials MKT on the back, which I assumed was someones initials. It looked and felt very well built and high quality.

The seller didn't know much about it other than he purchased it in a box with some other knives....and I bought it for $100.
When I returned home I googled the initials MKT and knife and lo and behold..there was the manufacturer!

Looks like some high end stuff for sure.I emailed the manufacturer who told me it's an older model Praetorian, probably from the 1990s.
Cool! I was pretty sure it was not made in china..:)

I was generously gifted a Medford "On Belay" knife ( I don't think they make that model anymore). It is one hell of a knife, use it every day. That said, its kind of ruined me for other brands.
 
You can still buy a new one........going to be close to $700........you did good, the guy that sold it to you, not so much......
