I am not a big knife collector, but if knives are your thing, I'd imagine that the market can always stand the addition of some high quality knives, thus providing more of a selection to those who do collect them.

I don't collect knives, but one would think I do. I do consider them an essential part of outdoor sports, a necessary back-up for self-defense purposes, and for some reason I just like a piece of steel with a sharp edge. As a result, I often buy a relatively cheap knife in a style I've never had just to see how it handles. If I like it, I sometimes buy the more expensive one.

And heck, who can argue with a weapon that provides 7-15 inches of penetration with a wound channel that can be opened up to several inches wide, never needs to be reloaded, and doesn't even make noise to call attention your way?

Well, that's why the back-up to my back-up gun is a knife.....

Wow, $1095.00 for that knife. I know that quality costs money, but I could own a very nice new gun for that money. Also, with only ten of these being made, it is a true collector piece, and I doubt that I would ever use it.

I have to admit that knives do hold a certain fascination. But since firearms hold a much greater fascination for me, I pretty well stay in the firearms arena when spending my money. That said, I do own some pretty nice knives, all of which can, and do, serve in a utilitarian role. As I said above, I always have a knife on me to serve as a back-up to my back-up gun. One word of caution..... If you ever must use your knife in mortal combat, be prepared to use a lot of strength, as much speed as you can, and you will have a lot of cleaning up to do.
