Vintage Knives offers a selection of fine knives and cutlery (and occasionally other collectibles) in an easy to navigate online catalog format. The original site opened in April of 2000 as an alternative to eBay for collectors wanting higher quality collectibles on-line, at fixed prices, and from dealers with a verifiable history of integrity. The newly remodeled site you are now viewing now was enhanced to offer our customers and visitors an even more enjoyable experience in shopping for and learning about knives and knife collecting.
Billy Cochrane, the owner of the site, began his foray into the world of knife collecting with the simple intent of purchasing distinctive, well-made pocketknives for his two young sons. He wanted to present them with something meaningful, tools that were classic in line that would be useful to them throughout their lifetimes. It was in the course of seeking out these special knives for his boys that Billy became immersed in the world of knives and knife collecting. His vision has expanded from those two small pocketknives to offering a whole range of classic, quality knives for collectors from around the world.
We are pleased you've found the VintageKnives.com site, and hope you will return often! In addition to the knives that Billy offers in our Catalog, be sure to visit our Journals pages to read some of the fascinating essays and articles in this popular section of our site.
Our shipping department has grown as well. As you can see, we've brought on two new staff members to help ensure that every piece you purchase from VintageKnives.com passes rigid quality control inspections and is delivered to you in excellent condition!
