Heck of a collection, Charlie! Congrats on putting it together! ::tu:: I found this one last week at a flea market in SE Kansas.

Re: Colonial Fish Knives

Nice grouping! ::tu:: Before TV sportsmen like Harold Ensley showed them how, most fishermen didn't fillet fish, they 'cleaned' them.

Re: How do I find the value of knife collection

If you're not looking to sell the collection, most price guides printed within the past 5 years or so will work pretty well for establishing an insurance value. Like the others, I'd also love to see the collection whatever your intent. We do like pictures 'round here! It's as close to feel-a-vision ...

Re: Imperial? Single spring. No stamp. No main blade?

Those two blades would have been in reverse positions on the backspring and accessed from the pile side. Typically there would be an issue such as the spey blade opening too far or one or the other closing too far or not far enough. If no issues, then I would guess that it left the factory that way....

My guess would be, it's either a factory mistake, or more likely someone has taken it apart and removed the scaler to make it more pocket friendly. Shell handles are pretty easy to do that to, without leaving much of a trace.

Not a very good pic, but here's a custom that my brother designed and built about 15 years ago. I EDC'd it for about 10.

Titanium liners, nickel silver bolsters, ivory Micarta handles and blade/backspring are ATS-34.
