This fixed-price listing with the ability to make fair offers was valued based on the individual grades of each knife and recent eBay sales for the same knife if available. These knives are referenced in both Ed Holbrook's book 'Official Scout Blades' and Joseph Kerr's book '600 Scout Knives' as depicted in the accompanying images. This listing is for all 12 knives and the replica oak hardware store display box which measures 15.25” long x 4.75” wide x 1.5” tall.
