Is there a place on this forum to find the value of older knives?
I understand it being best to have pictures, but if there was a grading system for knives like with firearms one would have a general ideal of what their knives are worth.
I have some Schrade knives that are NIB condition, they are still in the plastic tubes they came in, I would like to know their value.
I also have a Schrade 809M and a 946 both in very good condition that I would like to know their value.
Best Regards

Your best bet is to use the "Completed Items" search at eBay. You'll see what knives really sell for, not what some book editor says they should. And there's not a book publisher anywhere who can reprint a book often enough to keep up with changing value trends. :)

I did not realize I broke forum rules by trying to figure out the value of my knives, I apologize for that and it will not happen again.
I purchased a book that was no help, it did not have my knives listed.
I want to thank those that offered suggestions, I'll try to find out the information elsewhere.

Knife values continually change over time. USA Schrades, especially those in factory condition complete with original box and papers are now selling for 2-3X the price they were 3-4 years ago. But this is only 'in general'. It really depends on who sees the knife for sale. Using ebay as an example, if a few people really want the knife, price goes higher. If during the time listed no one who really wants it sees the listing, the price can end up very low. i.e. there is continual flux in prices.
Rather than specific prices, one can rank the patterns and dates of production from higher to lower, mostly based on production numbers. More produced = more available = lower price, and vice-versa.
