I just joined today. I recently took ownership of my father's entire collection of knives. I need to help him sell them. He's 81 now and needs to cash-in in some of his collectibles. The knives were easiest as they are small & esay to ship.

I'm looking for some guidance/help. I know I can check their value on eBay, but some of these knives are definitely collectible & valuable.

So far, these are the brands I've come across:

Benchmark
Tree Brand
Schatt & Morgan
Camillus
Russell
Randall
Cripple Creek
Russell Barlow
Case - lots and lots of Case
Schrade D'Holder
Boker
David Yellowhorse, one of these & it is a beautiful. In a wooden case.

None of these knives have ever been used for anything. They have been stored in boxes- since 1998. Most have original boxes, some have paperwork, a lot of original receipts, too.

I appreciate any input.

Thank you,
Derek B. Cooper
