Maringer Custom Cutlery Archives Blade List, Page #1

        This page is created as a service to those knife users and collectors who purchased knives from me in the early years. I will always appreciate your support and patronage!
        During my knifemaking career from 1975 to 1995 I made 910 marked and serial numbered blades. Some of them had blades over 18" in length, and therefore received a "sword" number (shown hyphenated with the blade number) For instance, blade # 41 is also sword # 1
        The following is page one of a list of every knife I have made under my own name, listed by serial number with some other information given about it, such as handle material, blade steel etc.  This page goes up to serial number #500. I may have more information about a particular knife, particularly if it is a very early one. Some of the information in my record books is sketchy though, particularly as regards handle materials and blade lengths. Eventually I hope to link this list to photographs or other information where available. You can contact me at : WillWhitfoot@ShirePost.com
