Allow me my excuses in my old age will you.

Actually, what I bought at 60 dollars in 2005 I can sell for between 120 and 160 today. I don't know what five years hence will bring though

In that case, your strategy makes sense.

Of course Mark!

The thing is (if you wanted to boil it down to the financial math ) though the risk premium of buying the knife as an investment is higher, you personally would balance that out with some type of "owner appreciation" discount. If every day you wake up and it brings you some small pleasure to look at the knife, and it has the ability to earn a rate of return, so much the better. Though I like having my savings accounts, seldom do I get the same pleasure from them.

It's a beautiful knife and I hope you enjoy it for a long time!

That is VERY nice Mark. I own a gunstock slipjoint but mine is nowhere near as nice as that one. It's lovely, that's for sure.
