"Just had another look. The 941 lockback is pretty common, but the 1969 Plainsman is a rather scarce model"

Hi All, my wife and I have decided to start right sizing as retirement nears. As part of that, I have just placed over 3/4’s of the knives I own (from my and my deceased father’s collections) up for…Continue

"Greg, yeah that's not surprising, I suppose there aren't that many serious Puma collectors around, but surely someone will recognise what is in that lot and pay a good price. Its the Trappers Companion that should lift that price, even…"
"Vinnie, The pre auction bidding has started, and the 3 Puma’s got an opening bid of……….only $75. But there are 8 days till the live auction. No surprise, the Samurai tanto short-sword and one of the…"
"Thank you JJ."
"Pretty nice lots going to the block.
Wish you much luck, Greg. "
"Thanks Vince, I agree the starting prices are a bit low for some of the lots. I saw that you like Puma’ the most on your new member post. I like Puma’s too, My everyday fishing knife growing up was a puma, one of my all time…"
"I had a look at the items, although I can't really get involved, not being in the US.
Lot of three Pumas......
One is Model 6385 Trapper's Companion (Right Hand Version) and has to be mint given the RC decal is intact. Although I already…"
"LoL! Lots of grace for spelling... However, just to help a brother out (and anyone else who may read this thread)....polish is what you do to your knife.....Polish is the person! Subtle difference I know... :-)"
"Oh, and the owner of the auction house is a super nice guy."
"Definitely a polish town, my kids babysitters for the first five years spoke to them more in polish than English, and gotta love Easter when all of the bakeries make the putchki’s - I know the spelling is off. The Randall knives are…"
"Well I am just sure we are related! :-D I'm Polish...you live in a Polish town....and my favorite Polish restaurant is there...Delilah's Garden (unless the family retired to Fort Meyers, FL permanently).
There are some really…"
"Thanks for the kind words and thoughts. And do not worry, I was able to keep may favorites, plus giving some to my kids, so I am not blameless :). Yes, I added the page’s because his auction runs 650 listings over 28 pages, and…"
"This is both good news and sad at the same time - no one wants to give up a hard earned and much loved collection. But at the end of the day, you do what you have to do - and at least with right-sizing, you made the choice instead of the choice…"
Large Portion of Collections up for Auction
Hi All, my wife and I have decided to start right sizing as retirement nears. As part of that, I have just placed over 3/4’s of the knives I own (from my and my deceased father’s collections) up for sale at a local on line auction house. For sale are: 29 fixed blade mostly custom hunting and fishing knives by makers including George Herron, Randall, Corbett Sigman, GW Stone, Owens and Morseth. 14 folding blades including 2 beautiful Shaw-Leibovitz, and one by Barry Wood. Plus 3 each slip…See More

Featureddead_left_knife_guy said… Great to have you here, Greg! And have to compliment your taste in knives! I've always appreciated Randalls from a distance, though eventually I'd like to add one to my collection -- any of their wasp-waisted fighters (especially the 1-7), and there are a couple hunters I really like too (but because of that distance, I can't really recall the model numbers at the moment)... Anyway, regardless, welcome, Greg!
