I have two questions for you guys.
#1 if there are any knife colectors on here , what do you think this knife would bring if I sold it like on ebay or somewhere like that?
#2 how do I resize this picture? My programs will not let me do it.
Thanks guys.

I forgot to mention that is a size 10 vans shoe beside the knife for reference. The handle is over 5 inches , and the knife is 30 inches overall.

There is no make as far as I can tell. It`s less than ten years old.the only other real detail really it that the handle is whitetail deer antler. It was intended as a display or conversation piece.

I was last told $200

My next one is custom built , blades are frost cutlery. It should be about 32 inches, with about 5-6 inch handle/hilts area.
Pics are coming soon

Its worth whatever you can find someone willing to pay!

I visited Smokey Mountain Knife Works in TN...lots of good stuff, lots of junk.

Who made the knife if you know?

Im sure a knife collectors website with a forums could narrow it down off the pics you have

304 is easier to machine (and welds great) when compared with 316, due to about 60% lower nickel content and lack of molybdenum. 316ss is also much more corrosion resistance; for exactly the same reasons, and is found in higher grade cookware, nuke plants, marine hardware, hospital environments, etc. The 400 series of stainlesses have a lower corrosion resistance, but higher carbon content (for hardenability) and grades 410 and 420 (especially 440) are most often found in cutlery. High strength Martensitic, Precipitation Hardening, and Duplex stainlesses are used in environments requiring the highest strength, corrosion, or heat resistance and can have toughness/machinability ratings right up there with stuff like inconel, hastalloy, waspalloy, etc.
