Souvenir Collectors Knives

This is about specialty knives, including fantasy blades and swords. Souvenir knives often relate to a particular movie character, historic era or even video game. They typically involve a certain artistic shape and styling that reflects the ancient combat world.

Perry,

The rocketships are way too cool..I really like them and appreciate your sharing them with me. Gave me a big smile and a lot of memories about when you could get about anything in a rocketship shape.

Thanks Jan, several are on ebay right now. They want an arm and a leg for them! I didn't give that for mine tho.

They are in high demand, in decent condition. Mainly because boys got these as toys back in the day, so you don't a bunch of them surviving. Glad these brought back a few good memories for you!
