Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Lloyd Pendleton Knife Value?

My ranching neighbor is nearing 80 and is slowly divesting himself of things he no longer uses. Since he doesn't own a computer he asked me to inquire as to the pictured Lloyd Pendleton 3.25" drop point knife with stag handle. My friend owned a sporting good store in N. California and purchased this knife from Pendleton in 1978. On the blade it says L. M. Pendleton, San Pablo, Calif. 78. It comes with a nice, heavy leather sheath which has Pendleton Knives San Pablo, Calif. embossed on it. Do any of you have any idea of a fair value of this knife?

Did you Google it?

I found this:

Maybe it helps.

Thanks, I had Googled it but had not come up with that site. From some of the prices on that site, it looks like I had better do some additional in-depth research. Thanks again.

I would rather have a Pendlenton knife than a Loveless Knife . They are a lot better made .

A period and model specific Loveless could get you most of the way to a new car...

That is the most absurd thing I have heard reguarding knives. Are you sure about that? I have owned a few from both makers and I sure as hell don't see it that way.

Depending on knife and car it could get you all the way to the new car.

"WOW" did I get a rise with that statement, hee hee And YES I'm sure about that. And I'v owned both and seen a lot of both and as far as knives go Pendlenton is the best. But everone seems to like Loveless the best so they must be worth more, I guess it ALL in the Name.

loveless has that history & mystique that randall also carries. many current knifemakers produce a better knife than randall but few knives are desired globally. my brother was amazed at what people in italy & greece would pay for a current catalogue randall.cranky 72

Never said Loveless was the best. But sure as hell better then Pendleton, with a lot more innovation. But if its what floats your boat then so be it. What I can say for certein is your in the mirority on that.

I'v been a mirority all my life. hee hee
