Finally got one!

Been on the scout for a R3843 for quite a while but never found one for a price I was willing to pay - bid on a few on eBay but always was outbid. Well this weekend I found one in very good condition, for a reasonable price. Adopted it and now resides in a good home in Texas!
No handle chips or cracks that I can see, all blades function as they should except snap on master is a little weak. Knife is pretty dirty so it may perk up some after I clean it up.

Quick Release, the miracle cure.

Thanks for all the comments. Perseverance pays off!
Jerry I'm gonna get some Quick Release and give it a try after all the positives I've heard. Already got a lot of dirt out and improved snap with some Tuf-Glide.

It is nice to have a couple of other brands to collect. Sometimes when it seems like the prices on Cases get a little crazy I like to take a little break and concentrate on my Empires and a couple other brands. Gives you a new perspective when you get back into the Case Race.
