I inherited some pocket knives from my father in law. I dont know a whole lot about them but wanted to sell a few at a time but do not know where to start with pricing them. Im going to post a picture of a few and see if yall can help before I list them for sale on here. Here are some pics of a few I have around 60 total knives. I will post a few at a time for sale if yall could help me price them fairly.

A couple of the knives you've shown may be counterfeits. The Remington and the Case Barlow are, at least to me, suspect. Unless you're in a big hurry to get these knives sold, I'd suggest taking them to a knife show and letting some of the dealers help you separate the sheep from the goats. Counterfeit knives are not uncommon, especially among some of the older more valuable brands like Case and Remington.
