Dave,

I can put together an inventory excel for ya. Email me what all you want in it.

I'll go ahead and throw some ideas together and we can massage it as we go.
will make it with formulas to where all you have to do is plug in the numbers.

give me some ideas here guys.

Initial thoughts..

across the top

Model # | Tang Stamp/Age | Version | Varation| purchase Price | Current Value | Profit/Loss | Description | Handle | Steel | Sheath| Bolsters | Accessories| comments

Add to this.....and suggestions on order.

SH typo htat is 170 the displays hold 112
well have thought of what cat's would need:
Kollection label data.

bold are to be sort-able categories by data
Buck Knives
Model : choices = 90% are 110 OR other = / 111 / 560 / 186 / 426 / 428 / 429 /
Frame material = brass / nickel silver / Ti / steel
Blade material = std (440c ect) or special / ats 34 / s30v / bg 42 / cpm 154 /
Blade marking = std date ( this includes date codes or year marks)
or Custom and/or serial number (put in real SN)
Art work = blade or handle art and if yes then select which of / chip flint, native steel / mirror polish / std satin / ( black or gold etch ) / and include drop point or spear point / etch on handle or shaved rear bolster or bolster or inlay art
Date Made of knife or earliest date marking = year as number
Other Data Info =Date of acquisition (apx) year number and
date sold
apx value then dollar amount ( this as from known price paid or traded value or apox value then and
est value now .
Other data A = info on if it is a one off or custom version of a std issue like art proof / proto type / special order / non standard version of a standard issue
Other data B = Possible to add Type and Version info on early ones as additional info.
Other data C = accessories it has >> watch case box / sheath / standard box / paper work / COA / display case /
Other data D = source of knife this is / other collectors- trade or buy / ebay / Buck Knives / Joe H. (includes rework shop items) / Custom Shop / BCCI order / other


and a secton for 'Printable Lable' for each knife for display

If you already have a few written, could you blank your data and stick in some test data and put one in the FILE area of the yahoo group?

any of us could then download it...
 
well i may try the raven labs ...
down loaded the demo and while it is not realy what i want
it seems to be closeest thing so far...
i still want to be able to branch out from one item
and have a print lable space
 
Dave, check out this item on fleabay. May provide a way to catalogue your collection.

item # 350069686565
 
well it sounds good...
i down loaded one that seemed good also... i asked the seller questions and they even sent me a free actavation code.. it had a great surch but lacked in two other features.
i have another on a trial down load that is easer to use but has very limited cross surch .. both had unlimited pictures.. this one only 4 but most likely dont need more then 4 ... most likely i will try it..
