Knife question
Here are some of my dads knifes. I’ve always had a pocket knife and hunting knife, but my good knifes are ones my dad generally gave to me. I really don’t know if any of these are anything special.
Are any of these worth much or should be put away? I have more, but this is a start. I’ll give the Boy Scout knife to my 10 yr old grandson, and plan on giving my sons each one of the boxed knives. But want to make sure they are worth about the same. ![]() ![]()

That Benchmark is tough to sharpen. Super hard steel.
I’m not super familiar with vintage folders. Is that just big display all CASE knives. I do see a Sharade Sharpfinger there. That is a good knife. That style has probably taken aparts a bunch of deer across the generations.

Nice looking collection. I have no idea if any of them are worth anything or not, but it would be fun and interesting to look through them.
Years ago, I had (I think it was my dad's) one of those knives with the spoon and fork. I suspect for anyone to attempt to value them, you'd need a better pic of the knives individually probably showing the text stamped into the blades or pommels or anywhere else. I think Case knives do have quite a following, so if you've got some of those, they may be worth something, but I have no idea how much.

And I have several more of the Benchmark knives. Dad bought several back in the 70’s.

I was a bit upset to learn that the "old timer" brand is now made in china...Used to be made by Schrade in the USA. Good quality, good carbon steel, the favored pocket knife of many.
(edit) I also remember reading that India banned the export of "Stag" antlers once used in handle material. Didn't make much sense since no animals killed for the material, these are antlers that are shed annually. Still, maybe makes old knives with stag handles or scales more desirable? I'm not a collector, but I do have some old knives about...sheath and pocket. Took me a spell to figure out which pocket or hunting knife I'd feel most comfortable with.

without seeing them open and serial numbers looks like they are not worth much.
who made the large barlow? the cases at the top right maybe worth a few bucks but i can't tel what patterns they are or condition value is determined by two things in my experience, rarity and condition. the more rare, the less condition is important. Edit: also some patterns are more popular than others, also same for material...bone vs stag vs ebony etc i'll typically pay $100 for an unused case pre-1980. i consider that a good value. there are a ton of unused vintage cases in the market check out allaboutpocketknives.com to get an idea what dealers/collectors are asking/paying Last edited by ramonesfreak; 06-18-2018 at 12:50 PM.. |
