Whom ever gathered that collection has good taste.
Ohhh where are my manners... Welcome to the forum!

Personally I like every knife you posted, and I am sure that you will be warmly received with as much information as you could ever want.
I'd say you have a nice bunch of knives there. Value wise??? Leave that to the experts here.
Best of luck!

Thanks so much Ken, My dad was a collector of case for his whole life and I will defiantly keep 2 or 3 for my personal case collection but will sale the rest that I all ready have. The one I want to know the most about is that Muskrat ( last 3 pics)with the 8 dots I dont know anything about it .

and thank you for the warm welcome

Cool, cool...
I'll attach a Case Tang Chart that applies to your knife.
The way it works is 10 dots are the first year, and one dot is removed as the years progress. Your knife according to what little I know is a 1972 w/ Carbon steel blades.

That helps a lot !!

Welcome Keith. You might begin to get some idea on prices by spending time on ebay seeing what similar knives are going for.

Hey thanks man , yup that way I made the list so I could figure out what I have here . I will post close up pics of the 5 I dont know what they are tomorrow to see if you all can help identify them

Welcome to AAPK Nice Collection too
If you know your 6254 is a First Model then you should have some ideas on prices

The list is off of his notes I just copied some of it ,but the second half is missing with the 5 I don't know.
Thanks for the welcome man !!

WOW, knice gift!!

When checking ebay, check "SOLD LISTINGS" not active listings where someone may have an inflated price.

Up on the top right side of the forum header you will find a tab marked "Price Guides".
I know I have seen the BullDog brand knives listed there. Many of the others you have as well.
I guess the more pricing info you get the easier it is to zero it in.

Thanks Guys
According to that "price guide " the set is in the $5000-6000 range.

Now what is the best way to sale the set as 1 lot ? ( I am guessing in the $2000-3000 range)
Any advise or places that will buy it as a lot ?
I dont want to sale them 1 at a time ?

I would keep my Dad's Collection and sell your other ones.

If you sell them all in a group to a dealer you'll have to take wholesale price which will be 1/2 of retail value or even less.
