Re: Inherited Knife collection help please :D
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 .americanedgetech wrote:Whom ever gathered that collection has good taste.

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.

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

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.

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 ?
Re: Inherited Knife collection help please :D
I would keep my Dad's Collection and sell your other ones.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.
Re: Inherited Knife collection help please :D
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.
