Minors Are Prohibited To Purchase This Knife!!

This Beautiful Knife is Rare and Hard to Find!

It is an Old Fashioned 'TROUBLESOME CREEK' Fishtail Jigged Bone Handle Pocket Knife!

This Knife is slightly jaggedly around the thumb notch (seen in the photos) and the blade edges need to be sharpened.

It has a few tiny cracks and scratches due to light use and old age.

Otherwise IT LOOKS ALMOST LIKE NEW!!

The blades open and close with a snap and have the half stops.

It has the Real High Buff Polish Heavy NICKEL-SILVER Bolsters and Brass Pins!

There are 2 Inner Liners that are Made of Solid Brass!

On the main blade it says:
TROUBLESOME CREEK!

I believe that this Knife was made from somewhere in the Old Eastern Kentucky Region.

The size is: ( 5 & 7/8" Open ) and ( 3 & 3/8" Closed ).
The Main Blade is about: ( 2 & 17/32" Long ).
The Pin Blade is ( 2 & 1/2" Long ).

The Knife is brighter than the photos, as the pictures were taken indoors.

"TROUBLESOME CREEK ~ IN KENTUCKY"
Some people say Troublesome Creek is 99 miles long and is considered to be one mile short of being a river. Its source begins near the Floyd County line and then flows southwest through Knott, Hindman, Perry Counties, and then feeds into the North Fork of the Kentucky River at Haddix, in Breathitt County. The first permanent settlers to Troublesome Creek began bringing their families to live there in the 1790s and early 1800s.

The knife stand in the photos is not included.

Oh, are knives a popular commodity? I have several knives in my storage bin that have been sitting for years....hmmm

I'm not a knife collector, but I ended up with a pile of knives.
The ones that I listed here on Listia have done really well.
There are quite a few serious collectors who are always looking for good old knives.
I know that danman1058 , who is a good friend & wonderful person, is an avid collector that both buys & sells here as well as on eBay.
He mentioned that he has well over 1,200 knives in his collection.
That is very impressive.☺

Thank you very much!
You might have a real treasure trove in your storage bin.☺

Knives are a great hobby. What I love about them is, they almost never depreciate. Of course that spends on how well you take care of them. I think Dman will agree with me in this point.

Jun 7th, 2014 at 11:18:21 PM PDT by

You are absolutely right and I believe that certain knives not only hold there own worth, but they are good investments, because they go substantially up in value.☺

Jun 8th, 2014 at 12:45:51 AM PDT by

OOOH well when I may list one or two depending on how well yours goes for. :-)

Thank you for your comment.☺
I forgot to mention in the ad, that I think this knife is from around the 1970s to the mid 1980s.
If your knives that you have in your storage bin are in good condition,
they should do good here. >^..^<

Wow , what a small world I'm from Knott County ! Just wondering how u ended up with this knife ? Did u buy it or was u in Knott or do u have family here ? Sorry if too many ? ' s ! Just curious of its history ! Will be watching and bidding :)

Thank you for your questions.☺
I actually found this knife at an estate sale in Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho.
That's a long ways from Kentucky.
I don't know if the original owner got this knife from there or not.
Not too long ago, someone informed me that there is a newspaper called Troublesome Creek Times.
I've never been to Kentucky and most of my family is from Texas, but there are a few of us over here in Idaho.
I wish you the best of luck bidding.
