Impulse as a Collectible?

[TAutry]

I have an Impulse I purchased from Darrel Ralph and he signed the box. I have kept it in new condition. Will Darrel's signature on the box increase the value of the knife significantly? If so, how could an accurate value be determined if later I wanted to sell or trade it?

Travis,
I think it's neat that you have a signed box, how much value it adds to the knife, I haven't a clue. I don't think you can figure much of an appreciation in any production knife that's still in production. I've got a feeling Darrel's signature wouldn't be all that hard to get if you saw him at a show or something, he seems to be a very nice out going man. Bottom line it's a production piece, and I believe Darrel would prefer even his customs be used.
