All About Pocket Knives

New member, hey fellas. I attached a couple of photos of a 2 bladed Gunstock German Eye Knife. I am considering selling it but I know very little about it. Can someone give info on: Specific name, model, specifications, age and approximate value. I would greatly appreciate any help. And if interested in buying it let me know

Thank you

Sandman

Hi! Welcome to AAPK!

It's a gunstock shape. The rest of the info is stamped at the base of the main blade and on the blade.
To see a value look at SOLD LISTINGS on ebay.

Good luck!

Thanks, I hope to learn a little more.

A gunstock pattern Eye Brand knife is rather rare so it will appeal to many Eye Brand collectors as well as those who collect this pattern. Yours is a so called "3 eye" knife, there being 3 eye logos on the blade. Some people think these are among the best made of the Eye Brand knives (late 1970's-early ' 80's) so this will further boost the price.
If this were auctioned on ebay i think it would likely sell for $60-$85.

I would like to hear Paladin's thought on this one. The striker nail pulls suggest to me that the knife is much later knife than the 70's or 80's. Through the late 1980's there was not a gunstock pattern in the line of knives being imported by Cruse. It is possible that there was such a pattern manufactured for the German domestic and European markets but I'm not sure the gunstock pattern is as popular there as here. Overall KJ's value is probably right on target IMHO.

Wow thanks so much for the info. Joe whats meant by check my PM's? I'm a novice at best.

FYI to ALL,

I posted the Knife for sale on e-bay last night around 9 for $105 or best offer. Someone in NV bought it for full price around 3 AM The ad pics were ok but the description was very good thanks most in part to the feedback I got here. Thanks to all who contributed. Seems I made a good choice to join AAPK

"Seems I made a good choice to join AAPK"
A good choice if you love knives and plan to read here regularly and partake in the discussions and post pictures of your knives. AAPK is much more than just a place to ask about knife values.
You did very well to get $105 for this small Gunstock knife. But that is ebay: there is a range in which a knife will sell 90% of the time; the remaining 10% will go either well above usual range or far below usual range.
