All About Pocket Knives

Yes, it does. The stamp on the back is 1920, there is no K in front of it. The front is worn down except a word starting with a K. Does anybody know what the book price would be on a Keen Kutter 1920. Looking at the few hairline cracks and the blade wear, I would assume it would still be in Fair con...

I recently bought an old Henry Boker knife/tool set from a guy. He had another knife which looked like a Winchester 1920 coke bottle knife. The back of the blade is stamped 1920. The front is very worn. It does not look like winchester stamp. I can make out in a rectangle the word starting with a K ...

I recently ran into a guy that had a old wood handled knife that came in a small leather pouch. The tools could interchange with the knife. The tools were a hammer, drill, saw and other pieces. It was complete set. The stamp was H. Boker Germany. I could tell the knife set was at least from the 20's...

I am glad that you all liked the knives especially the Cattaraugus knife. I have collected around 25 knives so far and will post more pictures when I get time. I joined the local Wolverine Knife Collectors Club along with the AAPK and it has been a wealth of information from fellow knife collectors ...

I thought you guys might like to see my latest additions to my collection. I got these three in the last four weeks. The small black one is a Norvell Shapleigh. Correct me if I am wrong but I think if it has Norvell it means its an early Shapleigh. The second is a Remington celluloid R605 and last b...

I recently saw a Joseph Allen & Sons Sheffield England folding knife. My knife book doesn't give me any background information on this company. Are they a reputable company? It was a large folding knife with wooden handle. The knife looks very old. Any info would help.

I found a mint Remington fixed blade with sheath and box. It is a RH-134 and shows that it was made in the USA. Can anybody tell me the age & value of this knife in mint condition. I have seen book values but they are for much older knives and I dont think this one is that old although I don't t...

Can anybody tell me the age of the Boker barlow? It was made in Soligen Germany. My other find was a Case XX 2 blade congress. Its not in mint shape but what can you expect for 10 bucks. The Boker is in beautiful shape and I really liked the wood handle. Does anybody know what wood species the handl...

I don't usually mess with these kind of knives but was at a knife show today and a guy pulled it out of a box with other knives that had belonged to his dad who had recently passed away. Can anybody tell me what the age or value is for this knife. The stamp on the tang says USA

Can anyone give me information on this fixed blade knife. It has its original sheath which faintly says USMC on the sheath. the bottom of the blade is stamped U.S. MOD and below that is 1917. the stamping fades after that. I didn't have a tape measure but I would say the blade is 12 inches or longer...

I recently became interested in collecting pocket knives. I was raised in Howard City, Michigan and came to understand that the Olsen knife company was producing knives there. Obviously because of sentiment I was thinking of collecting a few Olsen knives. I have not been able to find a price guide t...

I saw in a small antique store a older fixed sheath knife that had a RH36 "Pal" stamped on it. I didn't buy it because I wanted to do more research. I understand Pal bought the remington company and some knives have Pal stamps. My question is this knife with the rh36 stamp considered a gen...

I saw this odd lighter shaped knife with Reddy Kilowatt on the front. The tang stamp was Zippo Bradford Pa USA. It looked to be older. Is Zippo a collectable knife? It was $10.00. If anybody knows anything please let me know & I will buy it and post the picture. The shape is like zippo lighter a...

I saw a small knife that the handles were flat 14 K gold. The tang stamp said 1 XL George Wostenholm. The handle had fancy scrolling. The knife was maybe 2 inches long and was a 2 blade. The second blade had a tang stamp of 1 XL Wostenholm. I don't have a picture right now since it is in a small ant...

Thanks to everyone who commented on the knife. You guys are great for helping identifying knives. That little knife wasn't even locked up in a glass case at the antique store, it was just sitting on an old dresser. My good find this week, on to the next one. I am going to have to get a price guide t...

Here are the pictures. I hope you enjoy! The blades are pretty worn but the handle is in great shape. If anybody has a better idea as to the aproximate age it would be great to know. As far as value I paid $10. If it was to much I don't care because I didn't have a Miller Bros knife in my collection...

I saw a small bone handled 2-blade used pocket knife in an antique store. It had Miller Brothers stamped on the tang of the blade. Is Miller Bros. a hard knife to find. Is it collectable? I don't have a picture until I purchase the knife but it was only $10. It looks older than the hills. I saw in t...

I was in Cabelas the other day and was told that they had discontinued the Buck 110 & 112. I asked why considering the Buck 110 history. I was told because its probably being made in China. I hate buying anything made in China. I need your help in finding a complete list of good quality knife ma...

Here is the picture. I hope everyone enjoys!

I recently bought 2 old Case knives in a little antique shop. I wasn't sure the worth but knew that any old case knife is usually worth something. So I shelled out $30 total for both knives. A dealer at a local flea market told me the single blade folding hunter was worth some money and offered me $...

Take a look at the picturesand tell me what you think.

This is a cool looking knife. I paid $15.00 & I would like to know what it is worth. There is IKC in a square which could mean Imperial Knife Co. Because it an earlier knife does anybody know any other information by looking at the pictures. Thanks for the help and info.

Yes it is a single blade. The handle is a clear acryrilic with 18 stripes consisting of red, yellow, light green and dark green. I have heard that imperial did not make good knives. Would that also be true of the older ones. Is there any possible value or should I put this one in the next garage sal...

I hope to be able to post a picture in the near future. I have a small folding knife that has a multi-colored striped handle. It is stamped IKC inside a square at the base of the blade. There is a possible letter or number after the IKC that is covered with some kind of substance. I would like to kn...

I recently saw a switchblade and was told it was from the 1940's it was marked made in Italy. I know very little about knives but have always liked older items. The knife appeared to be older and was in good working condition. What is the value or rarity of a 1940's switchblade from a collectors sta...
