Thread: Knives?!?

The best book out there is Levine's Guide to Knives. Anything worth collecting and the relative values will be in there. There were a couple active groups of collectors in the Bay area, the BAKCA and the Northern California Knife Collectors Association. I haven't kept up with them, but there was one or two shows each year. The one I remember was in San Jose but I admit it was years ago.

Search for the thread "Combat Knives" and "EDC knives" on this forum.

Another thing to consider is what type of knives ? Are they fixed blade or folding ? If fixed are they combat type or hunting ? Custom or factory ? Maker's marks on the blades can also direct you to an appropriate forum. If you're curious about value, we don't do appraisals here on SRP, ebay is a good barometer of the current market for anything. I always do a search and then go to the menu on the left and check 'completed items.'

I attend a lot of gun shows, and there are always several tables with nothing but knives ranging from cheap junk to very expensive Randal, Lile, Bone, and many custom knives, and every thing in between. Tables at these shows are reasonable in price, and the chamber of commerce in your town will have information of coming shows in your town. Also shows are listed on the internet on a nation wide basis. Just type in 'gun show'. Very Best, John
