Use a free knife appraisal app to identify fixed blades, pocket knives, military knives, condition, maker, and market evidence.
Auction records are market evidence, not a final appraisal. Condition, authenticity, provenance, size, maker, completeness, legality, and demand can materially change value.
Quick checklist
- Photograph the full item, maker marks, serials, inscriptions, measurements, materials, accessories, cases, scabbards, labels, and documents.
- Document condition before cleaning: corrosion, sharpening, repairs, missing parts, moth damage, replaced components, fading, holes, and restoration.
- Keep provenance, service records, capture papers, certificates, unit history, receipts, and related groups together.

FAQ
Can Appraisily identify this from photos?
Photos can support first-pass identification when marks, condition, measurements, and provenance are visible.
Is auction evidence a final appraisal?
No. Auction records are market evidence only; condition, authenticity, provenance, completeness, legality, and demand can materially change value.
Should I clean or restore it first?
Usually no. Photograph the item as found before cleaning, polishing, sharpening, repair, deactivation, or restoration.
