Spotted the sweet display in an antique shop. Never heard of Sabre knives before. After researching them I guess nobody collects them. Not a single knife in the whole stupid store, I thought I might have found a gem.......guess not.

They were made in the USA for a while and those are very hard to find from my looking. Then, they were made in Japan. They are ok knives. If you're into displays the Providence Cutlery Company and Imperial ones are really fun and cheap to try and fill. I've seen full displays of used P.C.C. knives at auction going for over $300.

It is a nice display, heck I may have bought it if I saw it.
I remember seeing many Sabre and Imperial knives when I was a kid in the local hardware and grocer. They were great "user" knives, similar to Rough Rider of today.

My dad carried and used a Sabre fishing knife for the better part of two decades, on our fishing trips in NM and CO, way back when. It was a Japanese-produced model (624), and it did it's job well. Unfortunately, he left it laying near the stream one day, after cleaning some trout, and forgot about it when he left. Never saw it again. I had hoped to inherit that one someday; lots of good memories wrapped up in it.

Vanguard is right on! They were way better than average user knives in my opinion.. Not as pretty as the RR's of today but great hard task knives that sported hi-carbon steel blades as I recall.. They certainly would, and sure could still out cut RR's.. Good solid working mans pocket knives especially the old Yella Fishing knives!


Best,
Anthony

That stinks...I was fortunate enough to inherit my grandfathers Sabre Japan Barlow. It sits in my tool box just like it did in my grandpa's.
