The Bob Loveless delaware made bowie that he made in 1952, one of if not the first art knives. It sold at the Chicago knife show last year for something lile $200,000. I had a chace to hold it, it was very nice but for 200K it should of been.

Wonder how much the Warenski King Tutankhamen dagger would bring?

And even more what's the value on the original?

No one has any idea whatsoever.....to either question....thing about the Tut's though, is they are "just" gold and enamel.

BAD SUBJECT...and at $46,000....not close to the MOST expensive....primo Michael Walker folders are trading around $50,000 right now.

Sorry, I don't mean to yell at you, but that particular piece caused a lot of uproar back in the day....and mention of it is like pulling a scab that is almost healed off.

These days, knives that bring between $50,000-$100,000, while not exactly common, are not rare. An antique from the Littman collection just brought $80,000, Scagel knives frequently sell in the over $50,000 category, certain Loveless knives, the same, H.H. Frank knives have been known to sell in the $50,000 category, certainly a number of Buster Warenski knives, the afformentioned Walker knives....and we are not even talking the primo San Francisco knives, or Japanese katana, that readily fetch $200,000 and up.

:eek:Damn after reading this thread,it kinda makes my $8000 ZT Prototype I posted above look like something from Frost Cutlery,by comparison.Must be nice to be super,filthy rich:thumbup:
 
This small folder engraved by Steve Lindsay and made by his father,
the Lindsay & Lindsay #5 was oiginally sold for $65,000.
It was recently re-sold (to a young collector in Hong Kong) for the
round price of $110,000.....

All the best,
