Seeking info on old knife !

[mithril]

My boss brought in an old skinner that a friend of his had. He wanted to know if the knife had any value and any other info available. It has a full tang and half guard in brass? which curves back to protect the fingers. The blade is a 4 inch skinner type drop point style. The handle is about 4.5 inches and dark stained hardwood(don't know which type). The knife is stamped "Olsen O K Brand". Unfortunately the blade appears to have been stored in its leather sheath as it has considerable surface rust. Any information on this knife would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Olsen is pretty collectable, but with the rusting it would probably be better off as a user. For more information search BRL's forum, as the brand has been discussed before.

HTH.

In fact, quite recently, I believe. I was very surprised at the values.
