It has been a while since we have seen any boot knives. I wonder if they are under appreciated and under collected ?

If you have one or more, can we see it/them?

Thanks

I wish they were under appreciated. Been looking for a nice Luft one for a while. Seems like you have to go to around $375 to $500 to get a decent Luft proof one.
Really nice ones are $500 to $600. Less money for a Heer boot knife,
Lets see some guys.

they seem to get gobbled up fast at the shows... I used to have a large collection. Wish I still had them...

Here's a few I have photos of.

Not sure how much you want the knuck M7 back, but John Gibson has them on his site now.
Mint bayonet and scabbard with knuck installed at $125.
These are the original marked knucks from Kentucky.
Kind of pricy, but what isn't that is not common, still cheap compared to Ebay.
Thought you might want to know.
Stay safe
