Forest Master spotted on Craigslist

Post by Dan In MI »

I spotted this Forest Master in my local Craigslist:

https://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/for/ ... 17190.html

A little research revealed that these can be found in many configurations, and prices tend to be low. Is this some sort of rarity or a common piece with a crazy asking price?

I'd spend $10, the asking price, for that.

I donated several of these several years ago to someone on this forum looking to do a Cub Scouts event and wanted each boy to have his own pocket knife. Very common and readily available, USA made and definitely a decent user. ::tu::
