There were only 1,800 CM-4's with Ivory scales made. Of the Model 104, there were to be 1,000 sets produced, each containing five different handle materials. Unfortunately, there were only 200-300 of the 104 Pearl and 400 of the Cattle Horn knives finished before the bankruptcy. The entire 1,000 were produced in each of the three handle materials on this page. In the twenty years since we lost the Bertram (Hen & Rooster) Firm, most of the Model 104 knives have been sold.
