I may keep the boxes for knives over $200, others get tossed for sure. I moved twice with a couple large Rubbermaid totes full of knife and flashlight boxes. That got old, and they are gone! Victorinox boxes by the dozen lol.

You may have a point there, choosing a price point at which the boxes can be disposed of if there is no room for them. Right now I have my $400+ knives in the big safe with my guns and watches, or lesser knives that would be hard to replace, and the rest sit in their boxes in storage bins. One's I've bought without boxes are usually in knife rolls.

I may decide to get a pelican storage case(s) for my under $100 knives and lose the boxes after taking pics of the labels, but I'm thinking for knives more than that value that people may want the boxes if I ever want to sell any as LNIB. So far I have not sold a knife (and only traded one Sebenza for a Umnumzaan), but have given away about 40 knives in the past few recent years. They make good gifts, and I don't like to gift things that doin't have a box - even if like-new and unused, it feels used and cheap to me to gift something loose without the box.
 
I save all of mine. And I have quite a pile of em lol. It definitely helps to have it if you was to sell it later on.
 
Kept most of them for many years , then finally snapped while cleaning the basement , and tossed most of them out. Personally , if I was buying a knife from someone , I don't care if it has a box or not , but some buyer's prefer that for " BNIB" status. I learned a long time ago that knives are not an investment. I don't plan to sell any , so the boxes went.
