Recommendation? Knife boxes : save , toss , or sell ( box only) ?

Hmmm. I’m sure you did your due diligence and the knife was priced accordingly.

Yes I do and only with knives that I am familiar with both the real and the clone. Youtube gives me a good education in identifying clones.

I did mean that with sincerity; a person would want to be careful in that situation and I believe you were. :thumbsup:

I honestly took it the way you meant it. I don't answer anyone that I think is sarcastic or just being an ass, which we have no shortage of on BF
 
Heck I don't know what to do with the dambed things . . . if I get anymore though I will need a bigger crawl space. ALL (but one) of my knives are users and many/most are modified from a little to "what the heck is that thing" . . . so I won't be putting one back in the box and trying to pass it off as NIB . . .
It creeps me out when people save grocery bags until they are poring out of a drawer and almost never open the drawer to get one to use but just to put more in . . . .
. . . yet here I am doing the very same thing with knife boxes :rolleyes: o_O.
 
I recently listed an old iMac computer we had sitting in the closet. Sold for much higher than expected. Shocked when the buyer emailed and requested only to ship the Box & Packaging.
 
I keep all my boxes for knives, guns, some tools, work sharp sharpener, etc. and try not to trash them.
Even plastic baggies, original bubble wrap. If I had a Hinderer I'd probably keep the Peanuts!
 
I’ve kept all mine I believe it adds to the value of the knife when time comes to sell, in saying that I’ve not sold any of mine yet and no plans in the future to do so
 
Collectors are strange folks. They generally prefer a knife that is in perfect condition and has all of the factory goodies that came with it. Such as CRK knives...they come with an excellent blue micro-fiber cloth, a birth-card stating the model number and name, type of blade-steel and hardness, a signature from a company rep, the specific date that it left the factory, a note explaining that sharp knives will indeed cut, a "tool" (allen wrench) for allowed disassembly.... (they encourage it and even have procedural instructional videos) and a small tube of pivot lubricant. All of this comes under the heading of "provenance" and for serious collectors, keeping all of this "stuff" together is a must, and is expected by a future buyer or trader.
