VINTAGE KNIVES
We usually have a good selection of vintage knives on hand. They are often mint to near mint condition. Most of the time there will only be one of each of a certain knife. These knives are sometimes sold in other venues so it is a good idea to call to make sure it is still available before ordering. We try to update this site as soon as possible when one sells elsewhere.
Call us at 404 325-0709 Monday through Saturday from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm E.S.T. or 470 403-9699 for information.
