I bought this back in 08-09 for $400..very strong heavy made knife....the 2 Campolin knives I own are king of the collection as far as built like a tank stiletto's....milled bolsters.

I remember those, they were well received by the collector community. Adjectives such as hefty and well made come to mind. Plus, 13in swinguards were not a generally available model.

Nice example there! I love those knives. I have 4 big swingers and 4 batwings and honestly there's only one batwing I prefer over the traditional swingers. But they're all built like tanks. You feel like you got your money's worth at least. :D

I also have a Hunter and it came sharp too! They're pretty well built as well!

I wish they'd revive the AGA picklocks and swingers. I keep waiting...
