Weske fixed blade

[magdam98765]

Let me first preface this topic with the fact I had to move back into my pop's house to help take care of him and am slowly getting rid of some stuff....alot of stuff. Anyway going through what I was going to throw away or try and sell I found what, quite frankly looked like a cheap letter opener(please no yells I know nothing about knives), I found a fixed blade Weske at an overall length of about 8 1/4 inch. There is no sheath and the blade is sharp but discolored and a little pitted. The handle looks like marble but I think is bakealite or celluloid.

Any help in what to do with this or who to contact about who may want it would be greatly appreciated. I was going to put in on Ebay but there doesn't seem to be a big market for it.


Thanks in advance and I reiterate I know nothing about knives so please don't yell at me for being an idiot or asking stupid questions, I have an ex-wife. That should at least give me 1 free pass on this forum.

as far as selling it, ebay might be the best way to sell it, ive seen a few over the years... they made some neat looking knives.

The sell pre-owned knives, etc.
It's run by AGRussell, I believe, one of the best knife companies in the business.
