This is a beautiful collection of 12 Fixed Blade and Folding Solingen German made knives.

Franklin Mint Sportsman’s Year Hunting & Fishing Knife Collection from the 1980’s.

Now 35-40 years old, this is a fantastic collection of German Solingen made hand crafted knives in a Maroon felt backed wooden display case.

I believe FM released these knives over a period of time in the 80’s culminating in the collection of 12 and there is one of these for sale in the USA at $700USD (Over $1100 AUD plus gst and freight)

It features :

4 Fixed blade Knives and 8 x Folding knives beautifully solid made knives.

The knives are in almost mint (around 98%) condition with one or two with the odd age marks and are all functioning unused unsharpened knives and have only ever been in the display Case.

They have either Scrimshawed, Metal, Stag Antler Ebony, Rosewood and Cocobolo Wood handles and a couple have Gold etched blades

They are all held in position with purpose mouldings and with small magnets and the case is lockable.

Each knife features a game or wildlife scene from either Ducks, Canada Geese, Deer or Fish and each knife is stamped on one side with FM (Franklin Mint) and ‘West Germany’ so they were all made in Solingen and before the Berlin Wall came down in 1989.

This is a very nice collection of 12 quality German made knives. Priced at $995.00 for the whole lot, it represents approximately $83.00 per knife which is cheap for any German made knife.

Only one of these available and as the display is glass faced and quite big and heavy, I may need to try and arrange delivery in NSW for $80.00 or freight arranged on application.
