Thanks for looking over our inventory of (non-Case) Pocket knives. Almost always we only have one of each item, because that is the way we buy - from country traders, collectors, and estates. And always always, unless we explicitly specify that a photo is representative, the buyer gets the exact item in the photo. Please check out our Case Knives page, too.

1. Contents: This page contains anything from Straight Razors to Bayonets. It includes German Knives, Kershaws, Bucks, IXL, even vintage cheap knives. Check out our new listings on U.S. Made Schrades.
2. For those kind enough to consider selling or trading us your knives, please understand that internet merchandising of discreet individual items is highly labor intensive. Internet listings also substantially transform an item: two identical Orange Schrade Paratroopers, for example, are completely different is one is in someone’s dresser drawer and the other one is out there on the internet.
3. If your knife has the word China on it, don’t bother. We never give more than $1.00 apiece for Chinese Knives, if that much.
4. Please note that we ship at very low rates, only $3.50 for single non-boxed knives; $1.00 apiece for add-ons in the same order.

Buck 521 Folder All Sts All USA NRA/ILA 1992 Exc

We do not believe this Buck 521 has ever been sharpened, but it has light scuffing that indicates it has been carried some. We regret that we do not have the box. This is probably one we bought or won at an NRA fundraiser in the crucial election year of 1992. At the time, Buck Knife Company would doubtless have taken severe umbrage at any thought that they would have ever prostituted themselves to the Chinese. The blame for the current state of Buck production – Chinese made – does not lie, of course, with the Company; it lies with us. Own this representative of a day when we Americans were not so promiscuous as to completely surrender our cutlery virginity to China for only $ 36.95

Shapleigh Diamond Edge Advertising Knife 1940s

This genuine Shapleigh Hardware Diamond Edge Pen knife is so marked; and to add to its desirability, it is also an advertising knife for John Zink Burners, Tulsa. Pattern number is B272, so marked on the reverse tang of the main spear pattern blade. Even though the ink is gone from the inlay across the main spear pattern blade, we do not believe that this knife has been buffed; both blades appear unsharpened. Both blade tangs are stamped with the company logo. Top edges of blades have some dark rough toning, but this only affects 10 percent or so of the blade surfaces. Note the strength and atractiveness of the imitation pearl handles. They are perfect, with attractive aging patina. Overall length closed is 3 1/4 inch; and the 2 1/4 to 2 3/8 inches from heel to point. This is an excellent, excellent knife, doubly collectable. Own it for only $289.95

Frost Japan Michelin Adv Knife West Tenn 1980s

From nearby McKenzie and Huntingdon, Tennessee comes this genuine Japanese-made Frost miniature lockblade Michelin Tire advertising knife. The specific tire dealer is Morrissett Tire here in West Tennessee. This knife has light surface scuffing from being carried and used slightly, but it has never been sharpened. It was manufactured some time, from our knowledge of its owner, in the late 1980s or early 1990s. Overall length closed is 3 inches, and the lock-open blade measures a bit shy of 2 1/2 inches from heel to tang. Own this very desirable Japanese Frost advertising knife for only $ 29.95

Solingen Office Knife Mint 1950s Mann/ Brückmann

This nickel-etched handled Office Knife is genuine 100 percent Solingen steel, manufactured by E.

Brückmann and so marked on the reverse tang of the main spear blade. Both blades carry the company logo, a distinctive design with the word Mann on each obverse tang. This knife is near-mint and unsharpened, never used; its only detractions are toning to the engraved nickel handle panels and spotty toning on the blades that affects less than 10 percent of their surface. Overall length is 3 1/4 inch closed, and the main spear blade measures 2 11/16 inches from heel to point. This is an excellent quality, high grade German Pocket Knife from the 1950s or 1960s. We're offering it for only $ 49.95

Knife: Carter-Mondale 1976 Campaign Knife USA Brand

A memento from the Democratic Victory of 1976, this was one of the cheapest of the US Made knives from the 1970s and 1980s, probably manufactured in the 1980s for tourist trap souvenir marketing. This knife does not appear to have been sharpened, but it has light rust spots that affect about 15 percent of its blades' surfaces, as the photos show. Standard size for the U.S.A. stamped knives, probably manufactured by Colonial, is 3 1/2 inches overall length closed with a main clip blade that measures 2 5/8 inches from heel to point. Handle panels have attractive yellowish toning. Own it for only $ 19.95

PK208

Bendix Advertising Knife 1980s Exc Condition

Marketed by Bendix Corporation, probably through their parts stores, some time in the 1980s or 1990s, this is one of the cheap grade USA marked advertising knives, or dollar knives, manufactured by Colonial Cutlery. Standard size for the U.S.A. stamped knives, probably manufactured by Colonial, is 3 1/2 inches overall length closed with a main clip blade that measures 2 5/8 inches from heel to point. Handle panels have attractive light age toning. This knife has never been used or sharpened, but has occasional spotting that affects less than 5 percent of its metal surfaces. Own it for only $ 19.95

Schrade Adv Knife Gastonia NC VG 1940s

Gastonia, North Carolina is very important in U.S. History, by virtue of the labors of its hillbilly mill workers and their contributions to U.S. Economic Strength in the early part of the 20th Century. This is an excellent specimen from that historical context, a vintage Schrade Walden advertising knife, manufactured for the Carter Traveler Company of Gastonia, as the reverse aluminum handle puts it, a Mill Devices Company / Knotters manufacturer. This particular knife measures 3 1/2 inches overall length closed, and the main spear pattern blade measures 2 1/2 inches from heel to point. The handle panels, which also comprise bolsters and liners, appear to be solid aluminum, and while the panels have substantial moderate scuffs and pecks from being carried, the lettering and engraving pattern is all clear. Blades are a nice dark gun metal gray patina, and we estimate their width to be 95 percent or more of the original width. The small pen blade shows slight evidence of irregular machine sharpening, and the spear pattern main blade has been sharpened nicely with a round sweep, and a high bevel sharpening job on both blades that did not damage the blades' flat surfaces. This is a very nice, and very significant historical relic from the Cotton Mill Industry and Culture of our Sister State. Own it for only $ 189.95

Parker Japan 1982 World’s Fair Knoxville, TN

Throughout the early part of the 1980s, we were literally swamped with World’s Fair souvenirs from the much touted but sparsely attended event in distant Knox County. This is one of the several hundred that we, Fred Green, and others sold so numerously and so cheaply 25 years ago, and it is in mint condition, a genuine Japanese Made Parker World’s Fair Commemorative. Overall length closed is 3 3/8 inches, and the single spear-pattern blade measures 2 ½ inches from heel to point. Own it, only slightly adjusted for 25 years of inflation, for only $ 29.95

Mississippi Advertising Knife Late 1970s Very Good

This cheap knife, marked only with USA on its tang, dates from some time in the late 1970s or early 1980s. This one has substantial dark toning on its blades, and we rate it at 70 percent or so finishwise. There is, however, no pitting visible. Handle Panels show scuffing and scouring from contact, but the advertising and phone number on the obverse handle panel is clear and visible, Hill Auto Supply from Baldwyn, Mississippi – near Tupelo, about 100 miles from us. Standard size for the U.S.A. stamped knives, probably manufactured by Colonial, is 3 1/2 inches overall length closed with a main clip blade that measures 2 5/8 inches from heel to point. Own this good old Mississippi Advertising relic for only $ 14.95

PK212

Providence Cutlery Co Bottle Knife VG Imit Pearl 1940s

This is an advertising knife, probably from a bottling company, manufactured some time in the 1940s by our estimate. We are unable to make out the inked advertising letters; it appears to us to read MICO ICE, but we are not sure about that. What we are sure of is that the imitation pearl handles are in Excellent condition, bolsters, liners, rivets and lanyards. The only blade, the spear pattern main blade, measures 2 inches from heel to point. Its reverse side shows moderate, conspicuous scratching from inept sharpening; blade fullness, however is Very Good – about 80 to 85 percent original width with only a slight bow effect in the middle of the blade. Corkscrew body, liner edges, and top of blade have light rust residue. Overall effect and condition of this knife we rate as Very Good, and its styling is definitely vintage imitation pearl utility knife. Own it for only $ 49.95

Note the letter prefix on the phone number; also note Made in USA on the reverse side of the file. Own this fine little Missouri advertising piece for only $ 19.95

2nd Amendment Advertising Knife 1960s Exc

This smaller size Colonial brand cheap knife stands out from many of its even cheaper brethren in that the company name is on the tang of the main spear pattern blade. This is a representative of the Dollar Knife genre from the 1950s to early 1970s manufactured by Colonial Cutlery, many of which simply bore the logo USA on their blade tangs. We estimate that this one was manufactured some time in the 1960s with the onset of legislative attempts at Gun Control, culminating in the Gun Control Act of 1968. Musket image and lettering on the obverse handle are weakened from contact wear but still legible, and the metal surfaces have 15 to 20 percent light spotty toning or rust indications. Overall length closed is 2 3/4 inches, and the main spear blade measures only 1 7/8 inches from heel to point. We do not believe this little knife has ever been sharpened. Own this Second Amendment relic for only $ 19.95

Taylor Cutlery Klan Novelty Knife

For those whose collector tastes run to morbidity, this offering may be attractive. If someone offers to buy this, it does not mean they embrace its symbolism ideologically any more than we do. We believe that these knives' production and marketing involves tourist trap mentality where unstudied and oblivious travelers might consider buying one since it is in line with ideas about Southern White People. There has been, sadly, some market potential, too, among White Southerners for this type product. Our interest in this type item is limited to considering the reasons it was manufactured and marketed in the first place, but its symbolism is an offensive albatross that many of us Southerners get saddled with. Note the Bible symbols on both handle panels, a very offensive juxtaposition to most of us Evangelicals. The intent to market may have been a slam on Southern Whites in the first place. Obverse panel is marked with Copyright logo, reading 1980 SAT. With high irony, the knife has a Taylor Cutlery blade with Made in Taiwan on its rear tang. We're offering this knife, certainly not to promulgate either the Klan or any stereotypes, but simply as a morbid novelty piece for only $ 29.95

PK216

Camco Advertising Bottle Knife VG 1940s

We estimate this Camco Bottle / Corkscrew Advertising Knife to date from the late 1940s or early 1950s. The main bottle opener-equipped blade has light rust residue that affects no more than 15 percent of the blade surface by our estimate, and the steel bolsters are simmilarly affected. Blade width is full, 95 percent or so of original width and thickness. Knife is Excellent mechanically. The handle panels are appropriately aged and completely intact. The Erie Steel Co Inc New York, 13 N.Y. is strong and sharp except for the second I. We consider this knife to be in Very Good, perhaps even Excellent, condition; photos, however, should suffice for interested parties to judge finish grade for themselves. Overall length closed is 2 13/16 inches; and the main blade length is 2 1/4 inches from heel to point. Own this fine little Vintage Camillus-made Advertising knife for only $ 89.95

Arm and Hammer Bowling Pin Novelty Knife VG 1950s

We estimate that this Arm and Hammer Brand cheap novelty knife was manufactured some time in the late 1950s or early 1960s. It is in Very Good, perhaps even Excellent, condition. The blade has dark etchy toning that affects about 20 percent of its surface, appropriately for its age; but the blade width appears full original width and thickness. This knife might not have ever been sharpened. Similar toning and light rust affect about 20 to 30 percent of the lanyard ring and bolsters. Handle panel coating is Very Good, note however that the imitation pearl covering layers are drawn slightly from the blade pivot end bolster. This diminutive little bowling pin novelty knife measures only 1 15/16 inches closed over all length. blade measures only 1 1/2 inches from heel to point.

Baseball Bat Novelty Knife Exc 1940s Colonial

Measuring only 2 5/8 inches closed overall length, with a blade length of only 2 inches from heel to point, this diminutive little Colonial brand knife doubtless graced the souvenir stand at one of the Memphis ball stadiums in the 1940s, 1950s at the latest by our estimate. This Colonial is in Excellent Condition, with only light spotting on its blade that affects no more than 10 percent of the blade surface. The knife and handles are Excellent Mechanically.

Japan Stainless Office Knife 1950s

From the late 1950s or early 1960s comes this unpretentious but somewhat elegant, roughly finished Japanese equal-end, stainless handle office knife. The workmanship is strong and even, if somewhat rough on the edges. Main clip blade tang is simply marked stainless steel on obverse, and Japan on reverse. Even though the main clip blade is only 2 inches from heel to point, mounted in a stainless engraved handle that measures 3 1/4 inches closed, we believe the clip blade is original and do not believe it has been blunted. This knife, after all, is from the rougher period of Japanese re-industrialization following World War II, a point at which Japanese craftsmanship and mechanical development were not sufficiently wedded to produce, say, a Japanese Browning or Kershaw knife. This knife is in Very Good to Excellent Condition with only minor wear and scuffing, the type that Kresge and Woolworth sold in the 1950s and early 60s. Own it for only $ 11.95

If someone wants a set of handle panels, brass liners and backsprings in tight condition, this is your knife. Tangs are marked IXL Wostenholm, Sheffield, England, but the blades proper only have about 15 percent of their original thickness and width left. The mechanism is excellent, however, on this knife, and the imitation ivory handles have no cracks anywhere. We are not clear on the dating, nor do we claim expertise in IXL tang markings. This knife may date from the 1920s, or it might be post World War II. We're offering this veteran office knife for only $ 11.95

Main blade length measures 1 7/16 from heel to point, down from its original 1.5 inch or so length. Since this little knife is well used, its blade width and thickness are only about 70 percent of their original size. Nevertheless, mechanism is excellent and backsprings are strong.

Brückmann and so marked on the reverse tang of the main spear blade. Both blades carry the company logo, a distinctive design with the word Mann on each obverse tang.

Veined imitation ivory handle panels are excellent. Overall length closed is 2 13/16 inches; and the main spear pattern blade measures 2 ¼ inches from heel to point.

Syracuse Knife Co Imit. Pearl Aesco Adv. Knife Exc 1950s

We estimate this fine little advertising knife to date from the 1950s. It was manufactured in New York by Syracuse Knife Company, a very attractively aged Imitation Pearl that has no surface detractions other than light normal aging. Dark veiny- toning affects 10 percent or less of the blade surfaces, and this little knife shows little or no evidence of ever having been sharpened. We are unclear of the exact entity that it advertises, exactly as follows, as the photo shows:

Yosemite Tourist Knife 1950s Brass Handle VG

This knife’s forte is the combination of its age and its solid brass cast handles. The main clip blade has been nubbed off to 1 ½ inches heel to point from an original 1 ¾ inches. The smaller clip blade has been flat sharpened but has almost all its original width. This nice little relic is mechanically sound with strong backsprings. Blades are marked U.S.A. on their tangs, likely Colonial manufacture for the tourist trade that burgeoned in the 1950s.

Queen City New Orleans Tourist Pen Knife 1950s

We may be underestimating this fine little Queen City Imitation Pearl’s age; the long pull slot on the main spear pattern blade with the beveled point indicates styling more like the strong construction of the 1940s. Obverse handle panel stamping New Orleans is only about 70 percent strength, but very clear and legible. Although yellowed with aging, the handle panels are perfectly complete with some light oil invasion underneath their edges. Rear panel shows mild separation from the liner on the main blade end. Other than light etchy toning that affects no more than 10-15 percent of the blade surfaces, the blades are mint. They show no evidence of sharpening. This little New Orleans tourist memento is mechanically sound, with excellent backspring strength. Overall length closed is 2 ½ inches; and the main blade measures 1 9/16 inches from heel to point.

Ladies Shoe Mini Knife German 1930s

We might be off on our dating of this distinctive little Ladies Shoe knife, but since its tang only bears the letter W, encircled with a diamond pattern, above the word Germany, it quite possibly dates to the 1930s. It might be late 1940s, or even 1950s; we apologize for our inability to date it, but this is definitely not the kind of knife a person finds every day, and we believe it was brought back by a US Serviceman. Its chief detractions is a crack above the toe area liner rivet on the obverse panel, made of very early plastic or perhaps even hard rubber. Overall length closed is slightly less than 2 inches, and the California Clip pattern blade measures 1 ½ inches from heel to point.

Japan Barton Bourbon Advertising Clippers 1960s

Our dating is frequently subject to correction, but we estimate this Japan-made set of advertising nail clippers to be from the 1960s. Factory logo is the word Super arranged in a cross pattern above what appears to be a stylized mouse trap logo. These are in excellent condition with excellent strength to the bourbon bottle underlay beneath the clear composite operating lever.

Original key chain is still intact and excellent, with some toning since it is not stainless or chrome plated as are the clippers themselves. We’re offering it for only $ 39.95

Imperial Valley Mini Knife Late 1940s

This early Imperial mini knife has excellent, aged imitation pearl veneer over metal handles, and only bears the patent numbers on its tang. Other than attractive age toning to its handle panels, this little Imperial is in mint condition. We estimate it was manufactured in the late 1940s or 1950s. It measures only 1 ½ inches overall length closed, and the spear pattern blade measures 1 ¼ inch from heel to point. It has never been sharpened or used, and dark toning only affects the liners and inside edge of the tang point. Own this fine little early Mini cheap knife for only $69.95

Ambassador Mini Knife Kentucky Advertiser 1950s Exc

Good old Seat Cover Jim from nearby Paducah, Kentucky, handed these classy little imitation pearl miniature advertising knives some time, by our estimate, in the 1950s. Imitation pearl is inlaid inside the recessed liner frames, and there is slight drawing at their edges. Toning due to aging is a plus in our opinion, not a detraction. This little knife’s detraction is light rust spots on the top area of its blade, the exposed portion when it was closed; we still, however, rate the blade at 85 to 90 percent finishwise, and it has not been sharpened or used that we can tell. Blade tang is manufacturer contractor marked Ambassador USA, probably actually manufactured by Colonial or Imperial. Overall length closed, not including lanyard ring, is only 1 ¾ inches, and the spear pattern blade measures 1 5/16 from heel to point. Own this fine old Paducah relic and remember good old Jim for only $ 59.95

Japan Mini Scout Knife Bone 1950s

The roughness of this specimen shows the state of low grade Japanese manufacturing before that country hit its stride in the 1970s. This is similar to, but significantly different from, the Sabre brand cheap knifes that were so common in the 1960s. It has 6 different attachments: main spear pattern blade, can opener, screwdriver blade, small clip blade, leather punch and corkscrew. Its genuine bone handles are rough picked but otherwise perfect with no detractions. Metal surfaces have about 15 percent rust residue, common for the plain steel they were manufactured from. This knife is otherwise mint, because the blades do not show any use or sharpening. Overall length closed is only 2 inches, excluding the brass lanyard ring. Main Clip blade measures 1 7/16 inches from heel to point. Tang reads Jetline / Japan. Own this distinctive little scout knife for only $ 39.95

Hammer Brand Novelty Bowling Pin Knife 1950s

This entirely steel Arm-and-Hammer brand pocket knife once had, likely, a veneer pattern layer on its handle panels; as it is, however, it retains its distinctive bowling pin shape. Blade is about 60 percent of its original width, length, and thickness from substantial use and sharpening, measuring 1 7/16 inches heel to point from its original 1 ½ inches. Overall length closed is only 2 inches. This knife, representative of the cheap knife genre of the 1950s, is Very Good mechanically with a strong backspring. Own it for only $ 9.95

Iserloh German Slide Opener VG-Exc 1950s

Marking on the one- piece steel handle for this lock blade / slide opener utility knife reads simply: “Iserloh” / Patent D.R.G.M. 744976 Patent, identifying it as a German made knife from some time, by our estimate, in the 1950s. Blade is excellent with original streaking and retains 95 percent or more of its original finish; it only has a few light etchy toning spots. The handle is very nice as well, but only 30 percent or so of the handle’s black enamel finish remains. This knife is operable, slides open or shut and uses the lanyard ring as a lock mechanism. If our proprietor’s memory serves him correctly, he bought this either in Copenhagen or Jerusalem in the mid 1970s. We’re offering it for only $ 49.95
