Smokey Mountain Schrades

[dweb1897]

I found these listings on Smokey Mountain Knives under Antique Knives. Can anybody guess where these came from?

I assume that is a rhetorical question,
But just in case it is not, I am reasonably certain they came from the Schrade factory collection.

I believe SMKW and Blue Ridge knives ended up getting the factory collection and they have been selling it off piecemeal ever since even though they promised several people that they would keep the collection together and not sell it. I think they only did that so those people would not bid against them and they can get it at a lower price. I wasn't there, but that's the story I have heard from people who were there.

$1295 for a 4" SCC bone Serpentine Stockman seems high to me. I have never seen a Schrade Cut Co knife sell for half this price.
Do you see this price as current market value ?
Do you think that by setting high prices SMKW will boost prices for all near mint Schrade Cut Co & Schrade-Walden knives ?

Looking through SMKW "Custom & Antique Knives" i see knives made by current makers whose work i follow regularly. The posted prices are 'pie in the sky'. Only a foolish novice would pay what is close to double the market value.
There is a beautiful knife by Todd Davison listed as: "Here we have a custom knife made by the late Mr. T.A Davidson".
"late" ? Todd was still posting new knives on BF 3 days ago.
I think SMKW is fishing for suckers and in no rush to sell.
Falsely stating a well known person is dead when they are not is a serious breach.
