Hello all. Last night I found a set of Gerald Hintz fillet knives in a beautiful leather sheath locally. My research has been limited, but so far I know that he and his wife Pamela belonged to the Montana Knifemakers Guild, and lived in Helena.
The knives are marked With signature and "#6." they are upswept immediately in front of the ricasso. Some type of red dymondwood handle, brass pins. Beautiful lether sheath with a modified basketweave toolwork pattern. Look unused. Some type of stainless. 440c maybe.
Guy wants $135. Can anyone who is familiar with Gerald Hintz's work chime in and tell me if this is fair? I'm having difficulty locating other fillet knives of his to establish value. My iphone is crapping out and 'puter is down, thus no pics.
I found pics of his filet knives that look just like these.
