Your Honest Opinions

[Paul M]

I picked these two customs up in a lot of pocket knives. I would like to know what you think of these as I do not know much or carry fixed blades except to clean fish. The top knife is stamped JAB and the lower one has Brandenburg with some symbols on one side and West Fork Arkansas 1996
on the other. If someone has an idea of value that would be welcome,
Thanks in advance!

Hi Paul,

Well, I’m sure they are quite functional, a little crude in appearance, but, if this is someone’s first attempt at knife making, not bad!

It’s no doubt difficult to paint a Mona Lisa with a stick, even if one has the skills, he also needs good tools.

The antler handle is a small skinner, the other one resembles a patch knife (sort of.) I like the stag handle application on the patch knife.

Thanks for showing them.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the bottom one was made by a fairly talented craftsman, apart from the incorrect sharpening and tarnish and obvoius use, that was once a finely finished knife, probably done by someone with skills. The top one looks like it had a rougher finish, but a nice knife nonetheless
