Will & Finck

Post by just bob »

This seller is asking you to do your homework. I don't know anything about this brand of knife but did go to Google and look at the images. I don't see anything close to this. The seller also has other jacked up knives he claims to be contract knives like this one? He must have a good reference library? How does he know that?

Goins gives dates for Will & Finck of 1863 to 1930. He also says that many of the pocket knives were imported from Germany. They did make bowie knives and an authentic 1800's era Will & Finck bowie generally goes for thousands of dollars. I think the seller hopes that the name will suck some one into paying way more for this knife than it is worth?

Seller also has a definitely bad Russell knife and another Russell that doesn't look right. I would steer clear of anything this seller has for sale!!
