Stone Blade Knives

[Deleted member 13569]

First of all, I'm not a knife collector, but about 30 yrs ago my son gave me two gifts ... stone blade knives made by John Tuttle, master flint knapper and knife maker. He is the "owner" of Vision Maker Co., in Natchez, MS.

At my age, I'm at the point in my life when collectibles have to go ... but these are beauties ... and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what they are worth and how best to sell them. From what I see on the Internet (Tuttle is old, like me, and doesn't have a website) they should be > $200 each.

They are authentically reproduced stone blade knives. The stone blades were knapped with an antler hammer. Stag antler handles are attached to the stone blades with deer hide and deer hide glue.

Any info will be appreciated. And ... if anyone is interested in buying them, please send me a PM with your offer.
Thanks,
Joe

I did a quick google search and found that someone with the last name Tuttle had been making these type knives for a company called RG Russell. I searched that website and found this. Hope that helps.

Thanks. I checked out A.G. Russel but I didn't see any direct mention of John Tuttle. I'll keep researching

This is his --- John Tuttle, Vision Maker, --- old facebook page, for anyone interested

Thanks, I see that now. Minor correction ---the company is A.G. Russell, not RG

Oops, I guess my phone autocorrected me.
