share with you what we know about it. Send us a

you send us a question on a knife, sword or related item that you did not
purchase from us we cannot respond to your question.

Many domestic knives can be dated by a U.S.A.
patent number which happens to be stamped on the blade. This number
is the year the patent was granted and not the year the knife was
made, but it does help give an approximate date range. Click
here for the patent numbers and years.

Advice based on experience:
Pricing is always in relation to other factors. Price is tied to
value. Price thresholds vary person to person and are related to different
values. Most seasoned collectors agree that paying a little more for that
nicer item may hurt the pocketbook at the time but years down the road you
will be happy you did.
We hope these resources help you succeed in
finding the information you are looking for. Let us know your results.
Thanks!
