Looks like your dude liked to set up a knife table at gun shows, you'll probably have to do the same to unload those. Hope you didn't pay more than about $5/ea

Guy Clark never wrote a song about a kershaw or a microtech.




He did about a Randall.

A lot of those, Hen & Rooster, Voss, German Bull, are trademarks from old Solingen Germany makers that have been acquired by Frost Cutlery over the years as they went bankrupt. Kissing Cranes would be another brand with a similar story.


Some of those are still made in Germany some in China but the value and quality all dropped once they sold to Frost. The pricing is going to depend on when they were made.

To add to the confusion some dealers, like AG Russell here in Arkansas, still have new in box pre-1980 Hen and Rooster knives for sale. That is why you can search online and see the same model for sale for $250 or $50 with some of those brands.


Well, that sucks. How could I tell the difference, by labels?


Country of origin will be listed on all of them. Just don't fall for the "designed in Germany", that's Chinese.

That almost says it all Gunny.

I think this one would fill in any gaps that one might leave.

Most so far seem to be $5-15 or $20. Most from China.

Yeah, you can start to figure out which ones are decent and which ones are crap.

Yeah, you learn about bad knives really quickly. The bad knives are now easy to spot. The last couple of posts are the only decent knives that were in the whole lot.
