    Knife Collector Websites?

    I have an odd and old pocketknife that I would like to get info on. Does anyone know any sites where I might be able to find a value for it?

    "Pocket" knife doesn't really really describe it, it is 12" long when open. It has a blade, saw, awl, button hook, corkscrew, hoof pick, tweezers, and toothpick. Sort of like a swiss army knife but this was made in the early 1900's by "T. Renshaw & Son" in Sheffield.

    In my young, single, and loaded days, I would have snapped it up from you already. That is one cool knife. Unfortunately I'm not any of those things now.

        Tom,

        Check this out. Not identical but similar. Sold for $3000.00. You may be looking at an Unisaw.

          I have a friend who is a knife collector. Sent him the picture to see if he has any information.

            Figured I'd give you guys an update.
            I sold this knife on EBay for $1130.00!!!
            I couldn't believe it. I figured it would sell for $100

            It didn't belong to me so I don't get to keep the profit.

              Wow! That is quite a sale. Did you at least get a finder's fee or something for selling it? Maybe a nice dinner?
