I want to throw some props to Snapper.. This is a square deal!!!!
If I were not in remodeling hell right now this would be mine!

To the newer Dalton collectors; you are shorted the access to all of the history and lore documented on the old KF Dalton site (without paying a little to get a 90 day pass). I don't know how much has made it over to the DaltonForums.com site; but on the old site is a lot of background on the rarest of the rare; the holy grails of Rob Dalton's work. I know some has made it to this site, and the fact that more is not here is certainly my fault for not posting or spending more time to port some history over; but my forum time is limited to nearly nil this last 3 years.

The most commonly listed grails have been these and some of the prices seen:

PARROT ($1,000)
SS STC ($600ish)
TITANIUM DAGGER (??? Never seen one for sale- Jimbo may have listed one once)
Ti SPIKE ($700ish)
GRIPPER DAGGER ($475)
STINGER ($1,600)
GIANT CUPID $500+ ($600 plus for SOF)
ARIEL RELEASE ($800+)
SPEARPOINT ($750)
SOGII ($500ish)

I could be missing a couple, and there are others to arguably add to this list; but these are the most hard to find pieces.

Times are a bit rough right now but there are some items that transcend. This is one of those items. A Parrot sold for a thousand bucks a while back. Most of these others $500 to $1,600 - we are not even talking damascus....these rarely surface; damascus grails never surface.

Grab a piece of knifemaking history guys. This might be the 3rd parrot posted in 7 or 8 years?

Mods, if this is inappropriate, please delete or move.

I agree with Dan.....for those who care, some of this old stuff that's been coming up (Dan's Pararescue Ranger) is rare and wasn't happening much two years ago. A parrot with light use for under $500 is a deal...finding this one in orange and not blue is really rare (joking for those who don't know) and don't come around often, most of the guys who have them, don't care if they have 20k+ tied up in a stew of knives...so they never sell them. Personally, I have passed on many Daltons in the last year that I wouldn't have the year before...."Because I have a high maintenance lover (aka bitch)" - to be continued........hahahha...serious but only kidding <-----ahh talking out of both sides of my mouth.

ONE OF THE NEW GUYS......WITH SOME CASH.....BUY IT

PS: I'm saving for the sword.

Yours truly, KK

NICE!!!!!!! I can't believe there were 24 of those made, who has all of them??? I wish I could step up to the plate on that one, but unfortunately I'm focused getting my truck paid off....hate that payment and can't wait to be payment free for the next 5 years or so.

Good luck on the sale...it's nice to see the opportunity to buy such a rare piece.
