S&W Knife Photos
The 1970s series designed by Blackie Collins.
S&W dealer display case open.
S&W dealer display case closed.
Early 1980s Sportsmans series.
Blue boot knife.
Boot knife from Vermont Knives, Inc. I believe these came after S&W dropped the
Sportsman Series from their catalogs.

I thought these to be USA manufacture but the one boot knife on the right says R.O.C.

Impressive collection of knives! Seki is a city in Japan known for quality production knives, like Solingen in Germany or Sheffield in England. Very hard, if not impossible, to know which plant made it as practically all Pacific Rim production is through factors. These agents, or brokers, get the knives produced and the marketing company here often doesn't even know who the factory is or where.
The U. S. A. marked knives are probably not made in the US. Knives are commonly marked with the seller's name and location and not necessarily that of the factory. Knives are supposed to be marked with country of origin but often aren't(or marked under scales and other places it can't be seen  ). The Chinese and Pakistani's are particularly bad about marking knives as US made that are not.
Again, impressive collection there...Bob

That is the model 6080 heavy duty hunting knife with a 4 3/4" blade.
I bought that one in the early '80s for ?? ...todays value maybe $40 - $65.

Hello jed,
My best guess for one that hasn't been used or re-sharpened, and comes with the box and sheath would be anywhere from $65 to $110.
If bk43 stops by he might have a more informed opinion on the value as he seems to be more in touch with the knife collecting world.

Ya' know, I have no clue. The market seems to have just gone nuts the last several weeks. Recent Taylor imports that used to be $20 - $30 are now under $10. I've seen eighties USA made that were $50 - $75 now selling under $25. You don't see many of the Blackie Collins designs for sale but you could count on $100 - $125 or better in the past. There's a Collins folder on fleabay right now and it's only at $67 with a day to go. It should be $50 higher than that IMHO.
If I were jed, I'd hold on to the knife if possible. Let the market settle down and come back to where it should be.

Fantastic collection...I've been collecting S&W knives for over 30yrs....I am very interested in collecting these knives (have over 400)...how long have you been collecting S&W knives? I may be helpful in answering any questions that you may have concerning models etc.

Welcome to the forum. The knife was produced at the S&W plant in Houlton, ME as part of the American Series. It's a light, general duty knife with a 440 steel blade and a rubber handle called the Posi-Grip handle. That knife had two stock numbers, #6085 and #330400, but I have no idea why. They were designed by Robert Ferraro.
The knives from the 1980's are good quality, well made production products. Collector interest is minimal but I'm sure that means nothing to you since your knife is a family heirloom.

Retail price in 1996 was $55.95; Dealer price was $27.95 .....I don't think there is much of a collector interest in these $30-$50.

The 6051 was only made in the early '80s and made in America. There were some later boot knives starting in the mid '90s made over seas.
The original American Series 6051 usually brings $40-$80 in online auctions.
