CASE XX 2010 Sets

You may know that I have been improving sets and working backwards from 2015.  I have finished with 19 2010 sets at this time.  As you look at sets, if the first character in the remarks is an asterisk, I believe the set is complete.  (The COA is present, each knife in the set has a picture, the set has a  selling price, and every knife in the set has at least one selling price).  If the first character is a question mark, then some info is missing for that set.  In the 2010 sets, for example, I need pictures of the vault entry and vault return shields on a couple of sets.  If the first character is anything else, I haven’t worked the sets for that year yet.  In 2010 I am proud of the tang stamp commemorative set.  It has 35 knives, and I have found an image and a selling price of each one even though only 200 sets were made.  This set sold for over $5,000 in  2023, and the prime stag RussLock sold from a split set for $500 in that same year.  Notice the two sets in “Toothpick” frames.  One mint set has all Damascus blades, and the other is all stainless.
