I've just gotten back into slip joints. Had a few, have quite a few more now:thumbup: I would like to find out value on both from someone. I have a local dealer wanting the Canoe and I don't collect that pattern. I would like to roll this one into an older pattern case I do want but need some sort of idea on value.

The Large Canoe is 3 dot with Case XX with Light bolt s. Like new condition

I'm not even sure what the pattern of the second knife is called. I would call it 3 blade stockman with a punch. The film on the knife is simply oil. Not rust on the knife, don't appear to have been carried. Case XX This is a keeper for me.

Nice four blade punch stockman. :thumbup: Rough values are from the Sargent book. He's showing a 64047PU in green bone Tested XX as $1,250. 1940-1955 green bone XX as $900. 1940-1964 red bone as $500. 1965-1969 USA model at $250. Also listed are rough black and pearl, which your knife is obviously not! :eek: Show a good up close photo of the tang stamp, and some of the collecting experts on here should be able to pinpoint it for you. The canoe, I don't know, with the special etch it has and all. :confused:
 
I just sold a Canoe like that with "John Wayne" stuff on it on Ebay for a little over $40.00.
 
Picture are not very good and between the lighting and oil it makes the knife look like its in poor shape.
There is some minor scuffing on two blades but they don't like they have ever been sharpened. Once blade says for flesh only.

looks like a '70 model to me, in this picture you can see what looks like 2 dots to the right side of the tang just past the bolster. If those are dots, it would be a 70 or 71 for the dots to come over that far

The 64047P is from the 70's, as you can see the dots. Another giveaway is the shield without a circle and it's got delrin handles, neither of which started until the 70's. If it was bone handled and mint it would be worth about 135.00. With delrin handles and the condition it's in, I'd say it's worth around 40.00 or so.

The Canoe is a Commemorative aftermarket that was likely done by Frost or Sargent. The value on it is 40.00 to 50.00

Sorry, don't see any dots at all on the main blade with the Case XX on the blade!
What your seeing wiped off.

Delrin handles, I don't know (newbie here) but I don't see any dots
 
The dots are under the bolster. You can only see them when it is partially opened.
 
Made in 1974

I think it would sell for $50-$80 on ebay if you could get it cleaned up and looking better. If you used the pictures you posted here you would be lucky to see $25.
