Value for 3 knives
I have 3 knives I inherited from my father. I would like some help determining their value and would like to sell 2 out of the three, if possible.They are all fixed blades and all custom made. so here goes....
The first one is made by Robert Terzuola from Guatemala. It is a full tang double edged dagger. The handle is black maple and is affixed to the blade by stainless steel rivets. It is 9" long with a 5" blade and is stamped near the base with the number 218-C
The 2nd one is made by Khalsa Kirpan. It is a full tang double edged dagger. The hamdle is Walnut and is affixed to the blade with custom made brass rosette shaped rivets. The blade also has a black oxide finish except along the edges. It is 12" long with an 8" blade. There is some very minor age pitting on the butt and finger guard but no rust.
The 3rd one is made by LL Gaudette. It is a full tang single edge fighter with a high chrome finish. The handle is ebony and affixed by 8 chrome finished rivets 2 of which are custom made. It is 12 3/4" long with a 7" blade.. There is some minor rust along the handle and on the edge.
All 3 knives are 30+ years old and have never been used or sharpened. I didn't try to fix any of the pitting or the rust for fear of de- valuing the knives.

Dear John,
Thank you so much for info. I really didn't know where to start and you gave me a great beginning

Thank you so much for your time and research but the knife you sent me is similar in appearance only. If you look closely at the blade, It says designed by Bob Terzuola. Mine was made by him and bought directly from him. Again thank you for your time

Hello, Do you by chance still have the Linden Gaudette knife? He's my grandfather, and I would love to have any of the knives he's made.
