I used to collect knives as a young teenager. I just moved back home due to a career change and was going through my old stuff that was kept in my moms attic. I found what is left of my knife collection and have a question about two of the knives. I apologize for the uninformed newby questions as I know nothing about knives.

One is a very nice pocket knife made by Valor. The blade has a serial number on it which is 4000322 and made in Japan. Down the side of the blade it looks like it says Lintlock but it is hard to read. The knife itself is made to look like wood and had a a buck (deer) on one side and a muzzle loader pistol on the other. It's a beautiful knife. I will post pics if I can figure it out.

The other is what looks to be a hand made knife made in India. It's beautiful and looks to be hand carved. It has no manufacturer info on it and the blade really looks hand made as it is very imperfect but in a good hand made kind of way

And info on these including value if there is any would be greatly appreciated. If the pics don't upload please advise how to upload them.

Well the knives are/ we're basically cheapo flea market knives.
We can't give you a value, that's OK because they really have none. Those same or similar types of knives cane often be found for a buck or two at yard sales.
 
Welcome to Bladeforums.

It's not "Lintlock". The Valor knife is called the "Flintlock", as in flintlock firearm (a flintlock pictured on one side of the handle. A buck on the other side).

If you do a Google search for "valor flintlock knife" you will find pictures of others.
 
When my folders get "lintlock" I usually wash them in warm soapy water, rinse them and reoil them :rolleyes:
 
If you like those knives then that is all that is important. They don't have enough value combined to pay for the cost of a Gold subscription, which is what is required before you can ask about value. :)
