I hear you (and I should probably take this to a different thread). I agree with you if we are talking about collecting razors.

I am still collecting craft. I enjoy challenges and opportunities to learn about blade steel. I used to do a lot of knife modifications...but once I was done with a piece, I usually gave it away. I like the ride more than the destination.

But yeah a beat up item has little value to most...even after someone lovingly brings it back to a useful state
