Just something I noted on DAK prices

[Harayasu]

I regularly visit a Dutch trading site to see if there are nice SAK's or other knives. The last few weeks I noticed that the prices of DAKs (Dutch Army Knives), especially the alox ones that were made by Victorinox in the 80s and 90s, are rising spectacularly. About a year ago I bought a number of them, for about 10 euros on average. Now I see people willing to pay 60 euros (circa 77 USD) for them! I never thought of multitools/SAK as investment objects.

In times of economic jitters, almost anything can become a candidate for "investment." To people looking for a hedge against inflation, collectables are a time honored means. SAKs are certainly in contention. Vic products are well made, there are many varieties, some dated, and they can be purchased cheaply (for now ). Actually, I have a few in my "collection." Surely they will increase in value. Or not.

in my opinion the good things about collecting SAKs are becouse they're relatively affordable, require less space, almost maintenance free, very enjoyable (oke i admitted... addicting!)... and the value would always keep on rising (wont sell mine though... and the rising isnt always significant)
