Description
Rare one of a kind special order fighter by John Nelson Cooper from the Cardinal Collection. This beautiful fighter has a 7.75" blade ground from 3/16" stock. The handle is dark brown micarta accented with brass and black spacers and a light brown spacer in the middle. With the use of stacked spacers and small black spacers it give the handle that stacked leather look very cool. The knife has a brass double gaurd and unusual vented crown butt cap. OAL: 12 5/8". This knife has never been used and is near mint with only a few light carbon spots. The logo has been double stamped and I have seen a few this way. John would use a hammer to hit the stamp and sometimes he would miss or be off which would result in a very weak stamp so he would hit it again. Very unique vented crown butt cap makes this one a very collectible one of a kind. The knife comes with a premium zipper pouch no sheath. The Cooper in the eagle logo dates this knife between 1968 and 1978.
