Original S&W OTF Knife

[insider]

I have an original S&W OTF knife made in the USA, not the cheap Chinese spinoffs. I believe it was made by Paragon, it is very heavy duty, double edge, with Smith & Wesson engraved on the blade. I paid $100 for it over 12 years ago, and I have never seen one since. The dealer said very few were made. Anyone know anything about this knife?

S&W OTF Knife

Your description sounds like the same one I have and if it is, it is a model 1600B made by Taylor Cutlery for S&W. At the bottom of the handle on mine it is stamped "USA" and the number 9903600 under that. They seem to be very very hard to come by and some collectors are now paying close to double what you paid.

So, it was made by Taylor not Paragon. Thanks for the help!
