Schrade two blade-carbon steel original, it is made in soligen very early model, 1904 approximately. Should I have it cleaned, etc. my husband collected his entire life, he passed away and I need to know how to deal with antique knives and not destroy the value.

to AAPK, Bjb, and a word of advise, go slowly when selling your hubby's collection, many times valuable knives are tucked away and can get overlooked and virtually given away. There are many valid collectors on this forum, and I'm certain they will contact you once they've read this post.
Be sure to post pictures of your knives. we love pictures.

I been having trouble logging on. This new computer really sucks!
I finally picked up my knife from Matt, I mean he lives 3 miles away!
That sucker is 16.75 inches oal with a 101/4 inch blade. 1095 steel with forced patina using frenches mustard and a Buckeye burl handle. His wife is the leather worker and what a fine job she can do! He refers to it as a chopper, it is a bit forward heavy, I think of it as a large fighter. A down thrust to a shoulder and the foe is done for! Matt will be set up at Little valley this year with a few beautiess. He will have one of the nicest knives Ive looked at there, the hand checkering on the handle is enuff to knock yer socks off! And I gotta say, his kitchenware is Top Chef stuff

Without corroborating photos we'll have to assume this is a BS story!

Looooooooooooooooooove that. Killer burl, blade, sheath. Wow that's cool. I nabbed a Becker BK 9 to have a big, bad chopper and it's great at that, and I love it but it isn't pretty like this. My hat is off. Gorgeous. Keep them coming.
