Show off your fixed blades!

[terryl308]

I found these 3 in my Dads collection a few mo. back. 2ea. I. Wilson and 1, Thomas Gunn Ltd. Not a whole lot of recent info on these that I could find. Lots of historical stuff. These 3 seem to be unused showing some scratches from improper storage. On the link below is some info. From The blog post: "Wilson butcher knives were made until about 1970, when thousands of unused examples were dumped on the collector market." Maybe these were part of this "dump". The '60,s-'80,s were the heyday of my fathers collecting. Any Idea of thee value?

Thanks for looking

First off let me say that the knives are special because they belonged to your dad. But looking at the photo's, I wonder if someone didn't mark the blades with an old stamp which appear to be right for a vintage knife. But the handles throw up a huge red flag for me, I wonder if someone didn't rehandle an old knife, they are not the quality I would expect on those blades. Just my opinion however. Terry

I got this William Rodgers ‘I Cut My Way’ today for a whole $10Cdn. I’m not too sure about the pommel though. It seems to be wood. Does anyone know if Rodgers made one like this, or has it been added later? I like it either way, of course!

[doglegg]

Ann, I think that fixed blades are your first love. Cool one there especial with the wood pommel. Are the initials the previous owners? Again cool knife.

[zoogirl]

I think the initials have been done professionally. Yes, I assume they would be the previous owner.
I’m always curious about who owned my knives before me. This is an intriguing little bit of a hint. It was in a canvas bag full of fishing gear, just visible out of the top.

Zoogirl. That knife bears an uncanny resemblance to a USN MK1 deck knife from ww2. Especially with the wooden pommel.

[zoogirl]

Did Rodgers make them? Must go look! That would be very cool.

[zoogirl]

Apparently it’s a British fighting knife and one just sold for $85! I done good!

Welcome to AAPK...that's a beauty! Thanks for sharing!

[Airborne Avery]

Thanks
it is rare and special in this condition

[zoogirl]

AA, very nice, indeed! That’s what I would consider a classic beauty!
May I offer a suggestion? When you post, it helps to have something to show scale. I use a measuring tape, but a dollar bill would work too.
Welcome!

That it does. I'm an old sailor and have two modern USN Mark 1 Deck Knives (1 Colonial 1 KaBar). They're close enough to be "kissing cousins".

Look at this pin

[tongueriver]

I like the knife, the coin, the pin and the pistol. Tell us more!

[doglegg]

Great knife and group. I agree with Tongueriver. The coin, is that a Morgan or Liberty that has been carved? Great photo.

[Quick Steel]

Ditto the above. That dagger/boot knife looks like it may be a custom. If not, do you know the manufacturer?

[bigbore]

Thank you guys

i bought the dagger from Marcin Tomaszewski (from Poland) https://customblades.eu/

the $ is a cheap copy from China (Ali)

the pistol is a blank .22 which is legal here in Germany (you have to be 18)

the pin i use as deco because it shows my star sign (zodiac sign).

Hey guys,
Great blades!
I have only one fixie,
A special Hen & Rooster Diamond Edition Custom Bowie with matching Texas Diamondback rattler leather sheath. She's quite the hunk of metal...
A bit much for me, i'm a folding knife guy so this isn't really my cup of tea. Nothing to do with the knife, she's awesome! Just not my thing...
She's beautiful, top of the line stag and all. She's micro engraved by the maker with his name on both the sheath and blade.
His name is Auos Costecb Gomez (i'm pretty sure).
Anyway,
The stag is some of the best i've seen. First cut. Super thick and beautiful grain, if you can call it that... Also this one is even more special, the scales are different color/scaling. It's kind of special that they found to different blanks that are so perfect... That's why i bought her. Kind of a pallet of bone. They only ever made around 150 to 175, and they are not going ever to be making bowie's like these anymore. Learned from the seller,
who also happens to have inside knowledge at H&R...
I have been thinking for awhile that she needs a new home, someone who will treasure and love her with all the care she deserves.
Tell ya what. I would swap/trade you instead of cash outright. Either knives or guitar parts for my first guitar that i want to upgrade (Just started to play in April, lovin' it).
I don't know where you'll find another one. She's display case bound (like homeward bound, get it ). I look around on ebay to see how much they are going for, if you can find one at all...
Thanks a bunch!
Willy
(Pasted to knives for sale or trade) Hope she works...

Mostly fixed blades;a couple of folders;all customs.

[tongueriver]

An impressive eclectic mix!

[knife7knut]

Picked this one up today at the flea market.No sheath but that shouldn't be a problem.Stamped Rosco Japan with jigged bone handles. Thought they were plastic at first but they are definitely bone.Trued up the edge a bit and a little polish and it's good to go. For $7.50 I can't complain.

[Quick Steel]

Not familiar with the brand k7k, but if you find the steel to be good then you got yourself a great hunk of knife at a great price. Congratulations.
