Looking for any info on this knife R.J.Richter
I bought this R.J.Richter knife at a lawn sale. It appears to be new and unused with the factory edge, the blade is 2 1/8 in long and the overall length at about 4 7/8 I am not finding any info on it. is it rare? what would its value be? Thank you in advance for your help.

Re: Looking for any info on this knife R.J.Richter
RJ Richter was an importer and distributor located in Arlington, Massachusetts. They did not make knives, but had them made in Germany and a few in the USA. Quality knives, but not a really collectible name. They ceased business in 1969.
You will find other threads on AAPK about them.
As to value, hard to say.
I recently bought an estate lot of eight RJ Richter fixed blade knives with sheaths (leather washer handles) all mint - have sold a couple in the $60 range each.
