@Horologist-zu5vq 3 года назад

I was in California at my local flea market. And saw a table full of people. I wondered over and everyone was fighting for the jewelry and i happened to look dowm and saw a old knife in a sheath. The nickle silver collored metal tip on ghe outside of the sheath caught my eye so i pulled the knife out. It was oldddd and the stamp told buy it. Asked the guy he said $15. Got it did some research it was a George Woodhead 36 Howard Street Bowie knife. It bad seen a life time of use but it was my first major knife find. You never know when you might get lucky

Great video Dad! You have always had some really cool knives in your collections over the years. Glad to see some of them again.

The sterling fruit knife blade is silver because it doesn't have a metal taste like carbon steel does, also it won't discolor food.

I remember goin to gun shows with my dad, back when you could just walk out of most gun shows with a gun and without a background check, and they have old knives and bayonets literally in barrels like toy swords at the fair lol

@AntiqueQuest 3 года назад

Still find some great ones there, but guys are getting more savy all the time. Great picking spot though.

@calebray4168 3 года назад

@@AntiqueQuest awesome! Good to know. I really love knives and have a few nice ones so I’ve been thinking about collecting and selling as a hobby but I’m pretty ignorant at the moment. Thanks for the awesome video and the advice!

@Beany66 3 года назад

Thanks for the video, very informative. I live in the Hudson Valley NY and my grandfather worked for Schrade at both the Walden and Ellenville Plants. I’m a collector and have many Schrade’s including a few Schrade Tools (similar to LEATHERMAN) and a Vise Grip / Schrade tool. All made in the USA. Schrade was bought out by Taylor and shipped all manufacturing to China in 2004. Not even close to the same quality today.

@AntiqueQuest 3 года назад

Thanks karl, nothing like the old knives. Nice to have an area of collecting that you can focus on specifically. Shrade made some wonderful knives.

@wchayes8646 2 года назад

I have several Schrade 49 er series 498's both benchmade knives with hallmarks. Excellent high carbon steel knives.. I love them myself. I just finished a full restoration on a Schrade 70's model 152 old timer Sharpfinger. It's back to its former glory , minus the huge chips and uneven blade. The whole blade is there tho. No tip missing.

@tcup3946 2 года назад

I agree. As for new knives these rules have changed. Many Companies of good steel origin are having their blades assembled elsewhere. Like Condor made in El Salvador and Puma assembled in China.

Not sure if your still on here but a couple days ago I went to a antique store and they had knives for a dollar not those cheap plastic knives I ended up getting a j russel and co river hunting and skinning knife that was made in about 1980 and it is in amazing condition I found the same knife on eBay going for 80.00$

In the 50 dollar range depending on condition.

@jelkel25 2 года назад

The American brands that have moved production to China or gone out of business have value, Swiss Army Knives have an obsessive set of collectors, anything slightly different, souvenir knives from the 70s/80s, promotional knives, anything from the now defunct Wenger brand or just old Swiss Army Knives. The re-enactor crowd will buy WW2 knives in shocking condition as long as the date is right. One for the near future, the old style German Army Knives, first made by Victorinox then multiple other makers are getting harder to find in good condition at a good price. If you see any in good condition at a good price snap them up. Be careful not to buy Chinese copies or modern Spanish versions (good knives in themselves).

I found an old English knife out in the high desert of Nevada years ago. The handles were long gone, so I thought I'd make some new ones. The first thought was jade, but since I've never done any knife work before I changed my mind and I'm going to try cow bone. Maybe you can tell me something about what I have that I don't already know. 2 links: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F-b4lRfpjhY.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gu74nkQbPzY.html

@AntiqueQuest 4 месяца назад

Always liked Marsh bros knives. Pretty cool that its a found knife. Its pretty worn so no worries about seriously devalueing it by adding handles. Probably had bone or horn handles originally. But I think the jade would look pretty cool. Good luck

@seeharvester 4 месяца назад

@@AntiqueQuest Thank you Sir! I've decided on cow bone and just received the scales in the mail. The original "guard" is very loose, but I saw a video where the guy peened one with a rounded punch to make the slot tighter, so I think I'll try that. I'll probably end up buying a small drill press so I can get the holes through the scales straight. Also got some nickel silver pin material; gonna try my luck at peening only because I don't think it would have been glued back in the 1800s. I'm still a little nervous about attempting this, so I'll have to watch more videos and get my 'youtube' degree before I start. haha. As far as the jade goes, if this turns out alright, sometime in the future I might try it. The plan then was to fit a new guard made from a Morgan silver dollar along with the jade. Silver pins for the scales and maybe my grandson's initials inlaid in gold. We'll see how this goes first. :) Cheers!

You are either misinformed or just not updated to what is happening in the knife making business around the world . Brazil has some of the greatest knifemakers in the world. of course there is crap in brazil but so does in any other country. If you are really interested in knowing what is happening here in brazil in terms of knifemaking I can guide you through it. Just reply to this comment. It would a pleasure. For both of us l am sure ;)

@jayneholt6567 Год назад

If a knife does not have a name on it like Sheffield but a number such as 441188. Can you find out the Maker by the number this number is on a antique Bowie knife I have and like to know what it means

@AntiqueQuest Год назад

possibly just a pattern #. First would be to search for one that looks the same and go from there if that company marked with pattern numbers. Go to the library and see if they can get you a copy of Levines guide to knives. Thats step #1
