what is the price of my knives?
2 hunting knives with 5 inch blades and deer or elk horn identical handles marked USA 499 made by schrade knife co.
There was a model 499 sold recently for about $60. They were last sold new, discounted, back in the 70s for $14. These were a Gold Rush commemorative series and the 499s were the last of them. They originally came in a box marked "Benchmade Series".
Quote:-
The eight patterns were as follows:
491L and 491S - 4 ½" modified Bowie clip, overall length 8 ½", predecessor pattern #141 Tall Tale
497L and 497S - 4 ½" sabre ground clip, overall length 8 3/4", predecessor pattern # 147 Hunter’s Companion.
498L and 498S - 5" sabre ground skinning clip, overall length 9 1/4", predecessor pattern #148 Huntsman
499L and 499S - 4 ½" sabre ground skinning clip, overall length 8 3/4", predecessor pattern # 137 Camper’s Favorite
The Benchmade 49ers introduced in mid 1973 were last listed in the catalogs in 1979, so for at least some of the patterns, there was a seven year production run. While all patterns in the series were introduced at the same time, the 491L&S, and the 499L&S disappeared from the series listings in 1976, so they were produced for only three years, making them more uncommon today. The 497L&S were listed one more year, being absent in 1977 for a four year production span. Only the 498L&S were listed in 1977, 1978, and 1979, making it the longest produced at seven years.
