All About Pocket Knives

What makes it a $500 knife? People are willing to pay that.

Anyone have any information on an Anton Wingen Jr Othello stag handle fixed blade knife? I bought 3 knives online and 1 is as stated. I know nothing about that brand. How old would the knife be? Any idea of it's value and are they quality knives?

I have a question: do you like to buy knives online through sites like ebay or auction sites or would you rather buy one in person? I have bought several online but I am at the point where holding it and examining it in person has much less risk. Thoughts?

I've got my room booked so I hope they don't cancel. I will be there. I had wanted to set up but changed my mind and tables were booked anyway. I'll be stumbling around wearing a shirt that says Porky's Knives and Accessories. Feel free to stop me and say hi

I was hoping this question would generate stories. These are great. Now a little more about my story. I was working for Heinold hog markets in 1981.

The question was asked what do I call a bunch. The answer is 112 to 120.

I'm not sure which forum to put this so I'll try this one. What do y'all do with users? I bought a bunch of users of all conditions. Some really good just a little blade rub down to some that have seen better days to say the least. Thoughts?

I’m going to be a dealer as well as a collector of knives when I retire. Retirement is coming soon. My question for the group is: where do you get your knives? I’ve searched flea markets and pawn shops but that only gives me a couple. I can’t find quantities of quality knives hence my question.
