<p>Mary, you are certainly welcome to use my name. Pat is a wonderful guy. I am going to be writing an article on him soon, actually running behind a bit on it, but give him my best!</p>
<p>Any information, especially from the maker himself, is a great addition to the value of a knife. I will look at your photos again and likely talk to you about possible values on some of them.</p>
<p>John there is one beautiful fixed blade with wood handles within the photo album, whose makers mark I do not recognize. Appears to be a set of initials. I'll have to do some digging myself, and lets see what we can come up with.</p>

<p>Mary- Of course, but Bryan Wyszkowski's name (Bryan W) would probably mean more to Pat than mine.Bryan W writes for Knife World magazine and I am proud to call him my friend. BTW, you can trust any advice Bryan gives you as much as you do mine.</p>
<p>I have some more info on some of your other knives I will send you tomorrow.</p>

<p>Hi Mary</p>
<p>I have gotten to know Pat Crawford and his son Wes over the past couple of years, and they are fantastic people and very kind. I know that they would be happy to speak with you.</p>
<p>Value? Well, a lot of custom collectors can be very picky (like myself if I'm being honest). Condition appears to be quite nice with a small bit of wear, and then there is the personalization. Come folks don't care for that, to other's it simply makes no difference. I would agree that the…</p>
<p>Hi Mary</p>
<p>I have gotten to know Pat Crawford and his son Wes over the past couple of years, and they are fantastic people and very kind. I know that they would be happy to speak with you.</p>
<p>Value? Well, a lot of custom collectors can be very picky (like myself if I'm being honest). Condition appears to be quite nice with a small bit of wear, and then there is the personalization. Come folks don't care for that, to other's it simply makes no difference. I would agree that the value of the knife would be in the $300-$500 range, depending on a closer inspection, the up-close condition of the knife and sheath, details of the knife and what someone would be willing to pay.</p>
<p>If I did not live in a state with many ridiculous laws on cutlery, I would make an offer on it myself. I really do enjoy the Crawford's work, and for me that kind of personalization on the blade would not bother me a bit. Adds a lot to its history in my opinion. I hope things go well and best of luck with the sale! Any other questions on this or any others, please ask away!</p>
