Jess Horn with any of the high end steels. G10 scales would be a plus, as long as the shape stayed the same.

This one is new, in a white box, ATS-34 steel.

It has a file worked backspring that has the same bead blast gray finish as the rest of the knife. I bought it new around 1995. It has a partially serrated blade, if that helps.

I love cooking knives also. A pattern that I always thought looked funny was the Japanese Nakiri, kind of a square point chef's knife.

Until I used one.

Now my favorite pattern. My favorite knife is a Nakiri from Yoshikane, hand made in Japan.

Look at epicedge.com for a selection of kitchen ...

First was a Jess Horn FRN.

I haven't been completely happy with any other knife since.

Thanks for the offer, John!

This one is NIB. I bought it to carry, and just couldn't force myself. Blade is engraved rather than stamped, and knife is marked Golden, CO. It has the bead blast handle with a black rubber insert.

Looking for a value, as I thought it might interest someone who had ...

Jess Horn?

I found this forum while looking for another Jess Horn FRN. I got my first one in 1998, and love it.

I sold one of my spares to a friend, and then my son lost his, which took my last spare.

Any ideas where a guy could get a few of these?

That just seems to be the perfect blade shape for my ...

Centofante value?

Hi!

New to the Forum, but not Spyderco. I have a NIB Centofante, Item # C25PSBK. Any ideas what it is worth?

Thanks in advance!
