Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Knives for sale - estate

Hello,

I'm selling some knives for my wife's aunt. Her husband/wife's uncle passed a little over a year ago. He was a collector of many many things. I don't think that he ever walked into a sporting goods store and walked out empty handed.

I don't pretend to know a lot about knives so I'm going to post pictures and as much information as I can about each item and answer any questions anyone has.

Some of the knives are custom so I don't know what price to put on them so I may need some help from anyone who knows knives. Others are off the shelf newer and older models. I saw some Old Timers, Case, Ka-Bar, Bear, Gerber, ect... Some of the knives are old and pre-China for some of the brands that sent their manufacturing off shore. Most of the knives are still in the packaging, he bought them and put them in the basement.

I am going to start off with one knife to see how this is going to work out.

If anyone with experience selling on this site has any suggestions on how to make this a smooth transaction I would really appreciate the feedback.

I live in the Denver, Colorado Metro area. I can mail each item to you or if you live close by we can meet.

I will accept cash or money orders.

Thanks,

Jerry

This knife is a very nice looking straight knife with a red, green, and tan handle. On the blade the Colorado Optics logo and name is engraved on it. I called the company and he said that the previous owner probably had it made and he has since retired so this knife is at least 10 years old not that means anything but it is part of the history of this item.
The total length is 10�
Blade length is 5�
Price is $45 obo +shipping. I plan on shipping via USPS Flat Rate unless you want me to ship another way. NO MARKUP on shipping.

Please PM me to buy. The first person to publicly post "I'll take it." is the buyer.

Thanks,

Jerry

Jerry, I suggest you have a pic of the whole knife, both sides. That may improve your sale.

Best of luck! T.S.

What customs do you have? We should be able to get you fair market value for them. Provided they are established makers.

Thanks, I added a new picture.

Jerry

I'm not sure who made them, sorry. I believe that my uncle made some of them.

Jerry

Who is your uncle?

There is a big difference between homemade knives and custom knives.

If you get $45 +shipping for that knife you posted, you are one hell of a salemen!

Why would you post this on his post. What a Dick

I would say a mix of homemade and custom then. I don't see any markings on some blades and the sheath is not from a factory.

My uncle was more of a gunsmith than a metallurgist/blacksmith/Knifemaker.

Jerry

Jerry if you could find out who made the "customs" we could maybe help you out with their values. Pictures are always helpful too.

Honestly homemade knives will be a hard sell.

I will find out what I can. I will probably buy the homemade knives because of the memories of him showing them to me. I'll get some pictures.

Jerry

some of like homemade knives as well, so don't feel you should not post them for sale.

Thanks Robster, I will post those also.

Jerry

Post them up, we love to look and might just buy them.

Thanks for sharing.

BULLCRAP! It's a nice knife, obviously well made. 45. buys garbage on the retail market today.

Knife is a Barmiski and worth way more than the seller is asking. Most were made with D2 steel or ATS 34

Jerry,

I'm certainly no expert either, but that's a nice looking knife for you to start out with.

I may actually be interested in a few of your offerings, but I will begin a 2 day journey home from Africa tomorrow, with little to no internet connection.

I'll try to keep up with you as much as possible.
