Reference Material

I just bought some knives they are from the collection of a gentleman they passed away in 1982. Most of the knive appear to be from the '70 but some look much older. Can anyone suggest some reference books that could help me research these knives? They are mostly Case and Bokers, some Schrade and Imperials and a few Kissing Cranes and German Eyes. I tried to post a picture but the file must have been too large.

Hi Murf,

Try to resize your picture to a smaller size, that would allow you to post your knives...I would like to see them.

Thanks,

Sunburst

Thanks singn46, That's my firsy clasp knife. Can I play with for a little while first? Those wooden boxes were made by the gentleman that originally collected these knives; they must have been pretty special to him.

Make sure the blades are closed & the fixed blades are in their sheaths!

That could be a pointed experience!
