-Although it has been around for many years, the following numbering system is considered questionable by some collectors. I include it for your perusal with the caveat that it may or may not be credible. You will find it in several books written on the subject of F-S Fighting knives. At least when people refer to a number from it you will know where the numbers are coming from.
