Western brand fixed blade

[garythenuke]

I have a couple of Western manufacture "NRA Whitington Center" fixed blade knives. They have about a four inch blade and a nice cherry or rosewood looking polished handle. The full-fit sheath has a stamp on it that says "NRA Witington Center" Founders Club. I get them from my Grandfather when he died. Are these worth anything as collectors items or should I use them? They look like relatively well made knives and are in absolute mint condition. What does anyone think? If this is the wrong forum, I am sorry. Please move it to wherever it goes.

Thanks,
Gary

I have a number of knives from there.
I wouldn't call them high end collector models, but I sure wouldn't use them.
Nice to pass them on to future generations.
