Re: Mule Day knife

The triple 000 is the knife that is auctioned off annually by the Maury county mule day guild to support their program. They usually bring a good premium above standard numbered knives. Hope this helps!

Re: Better or worse?

Warbird there were many of Adrian's knives without any etching on the blades . As far as value condition is everything . Your knife would probably clean up ok but excellent barlows with stag sell for around 200 to 250 dollars with etching . Hope this helps.
