Not two knives, but two different manufacturing periods. If you have looked at many Schrade-Waldens you will find that you will come across some that don't look like others, as far as machining, grinding, and handles. Those with celluloid handles and bone look exactly like Schrade Cuts, but are stamped "Schrade-Walden". Exactly. The second Schrade-Walden you'll encounter is made exactly like their later "Schrade" marked knives. Exactly...machining, grinding, everything. And the'll have…

Recently we have had some discussions in the chat about auctions and utilizing a buyers market to obtain that one special peice, or even just find it, in an auction site as big as ebay. Type in just knife and this is what comes up...388,097 results found for knife. Talk about a needle in a haystack!

Then they give us the way to beak it down.... spring assisted knife, throwing knives, hunting knife, gerber knife, sword, survival knife, pocket knives, knife lot, pocket knife. (well…

I collect Vintage Knives and I'm sure alot of our members do too. It's fun collecting knives from the yester years. Some we have heard how well they were made and their performance in the feild was hard to beat. The old time construction and the amount of labor put into each one is hard to match in the knife world today. My question for ya'll is "Has anyone bought a vintage knife with a great reputation, to become a user knife". I would like to buy one of the old time knives of our…

Dear Friend,

I joined this forum a couple of days ago and I must admit that I feel very good with you !!

People are nice and comments are great... THANKS for this warm welcome.

I learned a lot with you in those very few days and I discovered with pleasure the company GREAT EASTERN CUTLERY and their marvellous knives !

I was so impressed that I have decided to order one and here it is SPECIALLY FOR YOU (it is not even yet on my…

My job is in retail.  I work for a reptile specific pet store.  I carry an Uncle Henry 153 UH by Schrade.  I am often asked by some of the youngsters that see my knife hanging on my belt "Why do you have that?" or "What is that?".  I tell them that it's a knife and I use it for work.  "Just in case an animal attacks you?". No. I don't use it on animals.  I'm an animal lover of all kinds and won't kill anything unless it was a life or death situation.  Even then I'm likely to kill.  (I…

I have received my Case Knife club magazine that has the story about the Lone Ranger Kodiak knife that belonged to the Lone Ranger.  I also have a knife, a Case Hammerhead the I purchased from the Lone Ranger estate.

I have not been collection knifes for a very long time but I had a Case Maco and thought maybe I needed a hammerhead to go alone with it.  I was looking around on the internet and found the add for the estate and made a bid.  Next thing I know I have the knife with all…

When Donnie started collecting you had to go to a knife show or travel to a dealer.  Your local hardware usually only carried a few patterns from one maybe two makers.  Of course as he became an adult, the area around Gatlinburg always had somewhere you could go see numerous brands and being from the South he went there as often as possible.

 When I became interested, we had a few dealers that were online.  They would tell you what they had and if you were interested, they would email…

This blog is written to share my experiences regarding the operation of my small knife business.  Some of the experiences are good, some are not good, and some are in the middle somewhere.  I would say my business is not a success yet because my expenses are larger than my income.  However I am not going to quit yet, because I don’t think I have given it enough time.  I am lucky I don’t need to do this for a living.

We have…

I finally purchased this Russell "Daddy" Barlow.  About 5" long when closed with great saw cut handles, Russell with the arrow thru the "R" is etched on the blade as if it just came from the factory.

The tang has the Russell logo in a diamond shape, and the "R" with the arrow is emblazoned.

What is almost as nice as this 'minty' knife?  It came wrapped in the original waxed-paper covering sitting in the original Russell box that displays the logo for John Russell Green River…

I have a reverse tang stamp on a buck folding hunter which I think dates it 1968-1970 I'm having trouble getting any info on if this is correct and value of such a knife ? Any help out ther people?

I joined your iKinfe Collector today and I must admit that I'm a bit confused and lost.

You will discover my collection and it will begin with handmade folding knives.

Take care

We're closing in on Veteran's Day which is November 11.  In an ongoing effort to show support for our wounded vets through the Wounded Warrior Project, I've got what I think is kind of a special knife to offer this year.  It's no secret that I'm a big supporter of the Wounded Warrior Project and past auctions have always been successful in raising funds to help out our returning wounded.  Even though our combat role…

I am a gun and knife collector and would like to know if anybody knows if the Case Knife Company ever produced a John Wayne Bowie Knife.  I own a Chief Crazy Horse Knife and gun and was told Case made a John Wayne knife that looked a great deal like the Crazy Horse.

One day not long ago a customer told me this true story.  He had a rather valuable knife with him and forgot to leave it in the car when he was flying out on a commercial aircraft.  He got all the way to the security guards and they of course found the knife and would not let him past the security gate.  He did not have enough time to take the knife back to the car or he would miss his flight.  He pleaded with the guards to hold it for him, send it to him and pay them handsomely to do this,…

Okay, the title says it all. I am not a english major, so don't ridicule my composition skills.

This blog will be my outlet for honest opinions and facts of knives that I found intriguing enough to buy for myself. With that being said, let us begin.

What aspects should I highlight? Any particular tests you want performed? I plan to beat the heck out of it anyway.

Let me know soon. I would…
