10 Old Pocket Knives in Your Toolbox Worth a Fortune! (Never Sell These)

THE BARN FIND BIBLE — the maker marks, the stamps, the dating rules and the real sold prices, all in one place: Link In Liked Comment! Forty years of picking barns and estate auctions across the Midwest, and I have never opened a farm toolbox that did not have a pocket knife in the bottom of it. Most of them are worth five dollars. A few of them are worth more than the toolbox, the bench and the truck parked outside. This is not a collector's display video. I deal in used knives. The ones that lived in a man's front pocket for forty years, went through the wash twice, got used to cut baler twine and open feed sacks, and ended up in a coffee can in the shop. Worn does not mean worthless, and in this video I show you which worn ones still carry real money. We go through the tang stamps and what they tell you, carbon steel versus stainless, bone and stag handles, the American cutlery towns and the factories that closed, and the specific patterns and stamp eras that separate a ten dollar user from a serious piece. I will also give you the honest odds, because the overwhelming majority of old pocket knives are five to twenty five dollar knives and I will say so plainly. And I will tell you the mistakes that destroy the value before a knife ever reaches a buyer, including the single most common one, which people do thinking they are helping. Before you dump that coffee can in the scrap bucket, tip it out and read the tangs. Drop a comment telling me what you found and where you're watching from. I read and answer every single one.
