TalkBlade.Info Knife Forums

Having trouble finding any info online about this stamp...I think there are two of them here...they have brass (?) D (forgive me) reinforced "ears". Oh man...forgive my raunchy fingernails.

Which state are you moving too the laws on having these is different all over? Keep posting here and you will meet the required number of post to sell them. I've been hoarding and carrying these knives all over the country for years...not as worried about crossing state lines with them as I am sell...

I really appreciate all of you and your thoughtful suggestions. I belong to several auction sites where I check sale prices for antique furniture, etc. I've been tracking the sale prices of a few of the knives but boy is this a huge job. Believe it or not I found a second box of knives! I likely won...

So nice! Thank you, JulesVane!

Sorry about your dad. That’s quite the collection he had. A few of those knives are quite rare and valuable, namely that German Bonsa trapdoor OTF. If you have any questions, there are plenty of folks here who will be happy to help. Thank you, Mario. Is this the one you are referring to? It's one o...

... my sympathies on the loss of your Dad,... he certainly had an eye for collectable knives,... I see some great looking knives, and some I would like to have in my own collection,... you will find two types of inquiries,.. those who want to buy cheap and re-sale for profit, with no vested interes...

Got it, kind sir. Soooo tempting.

I will try WD40 tomorrow, as I understand that may be the next step. However, should I bother? I can think of a few ways to open and identify these buggers that would surely make everyone hate me! Are these worth working on? I hope I'm in the proper repair/struggle/frustrated forum. These are the on...

Thank you very much, Mr.DeShivs. I've read many of your posts over the last few days and understand that you are "The Guy!" Honestly, only about four people inquiring early. I just read your bio on your website. What a wonderful life you've led! I too was fortunate to learn a bit about metalwork and...

Thank you, killgar! So helpful. Is this the preferred method for posting photos on TB? I was able to shrink my photos on my computer and have them show up as photos rather than links, but I lost a lot of resolution in doing so. I am new and trying to follow protocol, so if links are preferred I will...

I've read through twice and thought step one was to introduce myself. I apologize if I misunderstood. Trying hard to follow protocol. I have not and will not offer anything for sale until I am seasoned.

I just introduced myself - in the appropriate place over at "Mix". As mentioned there, attached pls find a few preliminary photos of my deceased father's collection. Only five or so seemed inoperable and wouldn't open. We are moving and I'm finally ready to drop some pointy weight. I have been study...

Happy and honored to be "activated". It's been a long time coming, but I'm finally ready to part with my long-deceased father's collection. I'm looking at a minimum of 50 (I assume) antique autos. Will post pix in switchblade gen area shortly. I'm in my 50s, dad died at my age in 1998, and had been ...
