need help with identification...

[stanandlaurie]

Hello,
My name is Laurie. My late husband Stan, collected knives and such. I've been selling
his knives for awhile here on the forums little by little. Thought I got to the end of it
and then found some stuff in the rafters of the garage last week.

I need help with any identification you can give me.

The knife in the photo has Classic Blades Trail Guide on one side of the blade after
what looks like two playing cards pierced by a knife.
The other side says Made in USA Effingham, IL. and A-2 Stainless steel.

Can you help with an ID?

Thank You,
Laurie

If you were to google the name you just might find what you need to know and more....

That's a Trail Guide in black micarta. That stamp/etch is later in their run, toward when Blackjack was closing.

What is a fair price for this? From low to high?

$200 - $250 depending on who's looking. It's harder to find by a small margin, most seemed to be made in stag or leather.

Condolences for your loss, I hope you get top dollar for everything. My wife wouldn't have a clue as to the value of my guns or knives. I should make a spreadsheet with values.

Not to be depressing but you really should. You never know. Hypocritically I should do the same.

Put pictures with the values and if you still have the box, but store it separately, put a picture of the box.
