    I am trying to identify a pocket knife with a clip and razor blade with a deer antler shield on it. It had no name or numbers on the knife. Has bone or stag handles. Is not a silver stag, elk ridge knife and pretty sure it is not a buck creek.

    Great layout u did ….I have a ? ..I was given a few fixed blade knives and they have a texas symbol and the letters HAAS stamped on the blade. I don’t know who that is .I really would like to know who made them .I was told it was a guyn Oklahoma that passed away a few years back. I would really appreciate the help….

    • David. I don’t recognize HAAS. You might try and post it on the Texas Knifemakers Guild Facebook page and see if anyone reconizes the stamp on there. Many makers and collectors follow that page. Good luck. Vance

    Hello, my fiance bought these pocket knives at a garage sale and i was curious as to how old they are and just when they were made. Front of the box says, “Sportsman’s Pocket Knife” in yellow writing and bottom right corner in white writing says,” Wildlife Series”. This is all on the left hand side of the front of box and on the right is picture of ducks in a lake in black and white. ???? Also, it does have a sticker on the side and for example this one in particular says, “Eagle Folding Knife and below, 230-3808”, but nothing else. No manufacturer only a distributor. The knife itself says vanadium stainless steel and both handle and blade are this. Im assuming because there both silver. Hahaha, im a lady, not a knife expert. Handle is what has the “wildlife” picture and it comes in a pretty nice wooden box. if i could post a picture i would i may be able to email one tho! Please help. Thank you for reading and have a great day! Samantha M.

  26. Keith says:

    I have a not-too-old Solingen dagger that I need help identifying. It is double-edged with a curved blade and stag handle. I can read the word “rostfrei” (rust-free) on one side of the blade and the word “SOLINGEN” on the other. Above the word “SOLINGEN” is a word (in cursive script) that either says “Rlinker” or “Blinker”. I am sure about the first three letters (R-l-i) and the last three (k-e-r); but the middle one may be “n” or “u”. Can anyone help me? I can send you photos if needed.

    I have a 4 in fixed blade hunting knife, steel blade (no markings), bronze and bone handle with what looks like ‘EW 3328’carved on it… it’s a really heavy/solid knife for its size, suggesting it may be higher quality.
