Paragon ATS 134 - The Firearms Forum

carver · 03-24-2013, 10:34 AM

I have a knife I am trying to locate some info on. I need to know when it was made, who made it, and what it's worth. My intentions are to sell it. There are no markings on this knife except an emplem on the blade, and a number on the handle. Some pictures to help with inentifying this knife. Though the last picture isn't real clear, it's a parachute with crossed arms under the chute, inside a shield. The number on the handle is F00182. From what I have learned it might be a Paragon ATS 134, first run, as it has no safety on it. The spring in this knife is strong enough that if placed against the side of a critter, and the release button is pushed, it will split ribs, and give complete penetration. The blade is 3 5/16" in length.

That is a nice knife. One of 18. You can be one of only 18 guys in the world if you buy this one.

Your knife was made by Rob Dalton, not Paragon.

I was hoping you would drop by on this one. What indicates it's a Rob Dalton knife? And can you give me more information on this knife?

Bill DeShivs · 03-25-2013, 01:46 AM

That's Dalton's logo, for one thing. I'm not a big Dalton fan. You can Google him.

I think you are correct about it being a Dalton Knife. I've been on severl sites that sell his knives, and found a forum. Posted up some picks, and am hoping for more info. The best I've been able to do so for is a knife called the Millennuim. They are asking $325 for it, but it's not quite the same knife.

Well, it turns out that the knife I have is a Dalton, just like Bill said it was. The post below was the last on I received from a member on the Dalton forums. It's estimated value is $410.

Carver,
Welcome to Dalton Forums.

Your knife is a Millennium for sure and was produced in 1997. It is not 1 of 18 either, that was just a dealers sales pitch. The first two letters in your serial numbers are FO meaning Front Opener, the next four are the numbers 0182 meaning the 182nd knife produced in a series of how many were made. If you look closely at the first three you will see the difference between the letter O and the number 0. See O, 0.
