Levine rates Hudson Knife Co., Germany, as "Low" value. Here's a really nice Hudson, 2-1/2", whittler with genuine tortoise covers. The quality is certainly not low. c.1927

Surely doesn't appear to be "low quality" in the pictures.

Re: HUDSON KNIFE Co.
Does BRL say low quality, or low collectibility?

Re: HUDSON KNIFE Co.
Dale, It says "L" under his column called "$". Guessing that's price/value? Houston Price said their knives were worth $20-65 in his 1991 "Guide". I don't put much stock in those things anyway, they're just amusing. Value is always negotiable for me. O'.

Re: HUDSON KNIFE Co.
Cool find, J.O'! A classic example of German makers trying to mimic American knife makers for a bigger slice of pie. As for value, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. 

Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!
