How would you define "Vintage" and is it the same as an Antique knife?
The words "Vintage" and "Antique" are casually tossed about in the knife world. From a collector of older knives perspective, are these terms the same or do they have different meanings to you?

According to an article I found on Martha Stewart's website, "antique" would be anything 100 years or more old. Vintage usually describes anything no longer in production, but can be anything short of that. Here is an example. This is an original Remington bullet knife, model 1253. It was produced close to 100 years ago, in the 1029s to the early 1030s. It is close to being an antique.
