Knife value?

A lovely hunting knife

I'm no expert either, but there are several knife forums you can take a look at for research. What I do know is that the original T. Williams Smithfield went out of business circa 1938. Also, that is a claw...not a tooth.

Is what you have a real or replica, is for someone more educated on the subject. What you do have is a beautiful knife and someone is likely to find value in it.

I was also going to point out that it was a claw.

Thank you!! Yes its nice but to be honest im not into knifes that much

This is too bad.

What type of man isn’t into knives? Or would be so quick to translate an inherited keepsake into cash?

All over the Western world some version of this has gotten us to where we are. “I’m not into Grandpa’s farm/woodshop/arc welder/hunting camp/sailboat/book collection etc.”

A couple generations largely squandering the birthright delivered unto them by the exponentially heavier toil of their forbearers.

I don’t find many today even care whether they embody manhood or not. Traded for what? Delivery food, video games, and soft-hands?

If you do decide to sell it let us know what you want for it. I may be interested depending on the price.
