Today being a special day - June 30, 2013 - how many people can identify this roll of knives?

Well, I only have purchased a few Colts and they were the Moose patterns. Perhaps they were built special, but I'm telling they are very well made. I'll try dig one out and get a photo to show you the ones I'm talking about. Thanks for the info,

Robert, I  still thing price wise, Rough Riders are better.  Plus most of the Colt Stainless Fixed blades are 420 steel out of Pakistan.  The Rough Riders are 440A out of China.

But I'll give Colt kudos.  They make some really nice folders.  And it is hard to argue with the Case Colt Collaborations.

Steve, I think that the Colt knives are the best "in house' knives SMKW sells. I was really impressed with them.

Have you ever noticed that vintage German folding knives command a really decent price compared to their competition? While German folders hold their own, the German fixed blades are way under priced for knives of their quality.

The same knife company folders and fixed blades, one holds its value and the other goes so much cheaper than its counter parts. Examples are everywhere -- A Kissing Krane folder holds up a good price while their fix blade flounders in its price... and the list goes on and on.

I own several vintage fixed blades and several vintage folders, I see no reason for the big difference in their value.

I am trying to learn as much as I can about vintage knife prices. Their value and their value according to their condition.

I would love to hear from vintage knife collectors and sellers. Whatever info you have to help me will probably help alot of other collectors. Plus it will be very much appreciated.

I thank all those that serve. And it's easy for me to thank a Vet.................my son, a highly decorated Vet of the Gulf War.......here inspecting a knocked out Iraqi Tank that he and his Tank (Company Commander's Tank) took out......one of many.

Today is a great day to be an American!  First of all it's Flag Day.  If that isn't enough it is also the United States Army's birthday! Happy birthday to all my past, present and future army brethren!

 

And finally it's National Bourbon Day!

So not only are the great reasons to celebrate,  a great American spirit for the celebration. And for those who don't partake of the spirit perhaps a slice of bourbon cake?

Either way, Fly the Flag and thank a soldier or vet today!

Geez Toby, I haven't seen one of those in forever! I remember seeing those in clam shell packaging hanging up in various stores on end displays, flashlight sections, etc. That's all I know about it. Not much. LOL!
