What production knife brand is the most under priced in the market today? Not your favorite or best made not even the one that sells the most but the one that is under priced.

Hammer Forged Knives
Posted on May 7, 2012 at 18:32 4 Comments 3 Likes
I was wondering if anyone was interested in starting a new group of "Hammer Forged Knives". We all know the club has plenty of knife Groups so starting a new one is not that big a deal. I thought there may be a following of hammer forge knives, by makers and collectors. If I see enough people have interest in starting a new group of forged knives, I will try get one going. To give you an idea of forged knives, it would be Randall's, Treeman's, Bulldog Folder's, etc etc. Please let me know if…
ContinueBlade Balance
Posted on January 11, 2012 at 9:37 4 Comments 2 Likes
How do you guys rather the balance of the weight in a fixed blade knife "foward" "in the middle" "backwards"? I know in a long or large bladed knife the weight will have to be foward but thats not what I'm talking about. The average 8 to 10 inch knife, give or take a little. Do you rather the weight back in your hand or foward in the blade? Lets hear what ya'll think.

This has been a great year for collecting knives and with the end coming soon I thought that maybe some of us might like to post a picture or two of knives acquired during the year. Lets see some of those knives great and small.
Name that Knife Pattern

Have you ever wondered how traditional knife patterns got their names? Well I have. Names like Congress, Trapper, Stockman, Moose, Cigar and heres a good one... Muskrat. Well who and when did these knifes get their names. Everyone may know the answer and I'm just in the dark on this, if not lets hear the reasons.

You might be the strawberry capitol no Robert. California used to be the capitol for everything in the Sacramento.San Jaoquin Valley, but now it seems like all we grow is houses and people!
Not like it was when I was a kid. The valley was all tomatoes, straberries, corn, melons, etc And off to the east cotton. People never realized how much cotton we grew. Heck, we still grow a ton of cotton! A ton of fruit & vegetables too!
But we may not be the strawberry capitol anymore!!
I don't even think we are the hot rod capitol anymore.

I am here for you buddy. Let me see what I can do

I understand Robert. They scare me too because even though I know a little and I have books to help me, it would be easy to fool me.
I tend to buy pocketknives in the $50 and under range for that reason, although sometimes I fall in love with a $100 knife.
My switchblades scare me more because they are more expensive. But I understand the prices. There are fewer of them (American) because of the ban on making switchblades. And even fewer still because of the more complicated mechanics of switchblades. The springs tend to break and we don't seen to have many old-timers that can fix them anymore.
If you want I can send you a list of the books that I use to help me determine if a knife is the real deal and if the value is in the right range.
I think that's the best any of us can do, except the guys on here that are bona-fide experts.
And sometimes I get a real deal. I was going thru a stack of recent knives (it was a real stack!) to take pics and post here when I realized I bought a few knives at really good prices:
- Colonial Hawkbill for $8.49 + $3.99 shipping
- Unknown maker Sailors Knife for $11.11 + $free shipping
The rest in the stack are $25 to $50 each, and while I can't afford to lose $25 anymore than the next guy I figure I can always sell them. If I sell them for less and acknowledge the co ndition is bad, or it's a fake or whatever, then at least i don't chaet a guy and I make some of my money back.
Anyway, if you want to know what I use...let me know.
