Yes, they did have a cardboard box and a little paper with it. I can't believe I never grabbed one of these back then at only about $65 a copy. I think the black ones were ten dollars more at $75 or was it $85. Not 100% sure on the retail price for these things anymore. Regardless. . . . A very nice knife, which my brother Karl does have and carries it all the time too! ;-)
