The entire knife collection of a German collector was stolen August 2016 we have been asked to post pics of the missing knives and ask everyone in the knife community to be on the lookout in case they surface for sale.

It is unclear if the collection was targeted specifically or if it was just a random break in, but it does look as if the thieves knew what they were looking for.

A reward of €10,000 is being offered for the return of the knives, no questions asked.

If anybody has any information, tips or can offer help, the owner can be contacted under: wolfwalk@posteo.de
He has requested that his name not be made public.
