Yeah, you could buy three truly collectible and highly desirable old Buck knives for that money.
Thank you. Did some looking around. He has been with Buck for 30+ years, many in the Custom Shop. Here are more pics I found. Really nice work. The more I look, the more I like. Still out of my price range, but...The name engraved into the display case is Jeff Legerton the designer of the knife.
I wish you could... not in the past ten years
I do fall into this line of thinking myself. I know I'll probably never even sell one of my knives. I buy them for my enjoyment. I can say the price on this one is high, but I've gone down this road on occasion and with no regrets.Not all knives are bought with appreciation in mind. Sometimes it is just because it is something the buyer finds exceptionally nice. The materials used in this knife does in my opinion
substantiate the price although maybe not to all. After all, cars don't generally appreciates. Most people own a car that they like even though they know it will be worth much less the longer they own it.
Maybe you wish that you could.......I remember you said you don't have access to e-Bay.
I was being conservative with the three knives for the price of this one. The $600 is a huge chunk of money......I could easily find five or more nice old collectible Bucks for $600 by cherry picking e-Bay.
All it takes is time and I have plenty. And the old ones will go up in value.
Since this one is worth about $350-$400.......hell will be freezing over before this unfortunate buyer accrues any gain in value.
