Robert Parrish knives

[unclekurty]

A friend was asking me about these knives. I did a search here and some other sites. I figured here would be the best place to ask about their value. I didn’t see any markings about blade steel. They don’t look used and their sheaths look nice too. I think they were made in the late 70’s or early 80’s. I appreciate any info. Thanks.

That's Mr. Parrish's site, after knifemaking, he moved into surveying equipment repair full time. His contact info is down a little on the first page, he was good about answering questions on old knives. He usually used 440c for blades.

P.S. - Looking at them, they might be Don Parrish's work.

Thanks for that. I ran into Don Parrish knives while looking around. I am going to dive deeper. My friend told me his deceased brother in law owned a bar in Downieville, CA and was friends with the maker. Got them for $125 each.

Here’s a logo pic. Parrish Downieville. I’m thinking Don Parrish now. My friend is just curious. I think he’s keeping them. I kinda like the sharp finger looking one myself.
