Good info Bryan!
One thing that you did not address is the rapidly increasing value of some of the patterns of companies that have recently gone out of business. While most of this is a short lived (I think) phenomenon, it is none the less a good investment strategy. I purchased a few Beckers just before Camillus closed. I am shocked at the prices they are currently bringing on ebay.
This type of investing takes a more in depth knowledge of the knife market & of the company than the average casual collector has. But, for those who know the market, it can be quite lucrative in the short term.
Personal, knife collecting is a hobby that I enjoy immensely. I enjoy collecting, & trading, not selling.
I suppose my children will have one heck of a garage sale!
Excellent pod cast.

Very informative.
Thanks,
Dale
