Thanks in advance.

Hello, I need some help with pricing my old knife collection. It's been a couple of years since I've stopped collecting knives, and now I'm thinking about selling a part of my collection, but I have no idea about current pricing.
As it's been a couple of years so I don't know most of the model names anymore.
I hope some of you can help me out.

First up there's a Mike Snody Kwaiken(?) in A2 steel, and a damascus Ronin.

Second is a Greg Lightfoot droppoint fighter with a JSP Bladerigger shoulderrig.

Third is a small Neil Blackwood hunter with micarta handle.

Fourth is a Benchmade 49-01 American Kriss numbered 091/100 with cocobolo inserts.

Fifth a Larry Davidson Balisong.

Sixth and last is a Tarani/Strider karambit.

I just noticed I can't post pictures unless they're hosted on a site, will see what I can do and post some pictures later.

Thanks in advance.

WOW that sounds like an awesome collection. Pics are a must

The 49-01 is worth about a grand these days I'm pretty sure. Maybe a bit more. Try searching.

One easy way to post pics is to create a free blog (like www.blogger.com). Upload your pics there and link them here. Easy and free and you get complete control over your pics.

its even easier to just setup a photobucket or flickr account.

I think you should seriously think about donating them to a good cause....ME

this will probably hurt my wallet in the future but I would say the snody kwaiken about 4 to 500 and the ronin about the same maybe 6 to 7 ..the ronin is the king here many would freak over these

hope this helps good luck with the sales, although I'm a big snodyKNIFE fan these are a bit expensive 4 me(maybe not the kwaiken

Wkr,
Tim

I can only help with a few:

- I had a Larry Davidson almost exactly like yours (but with blue in the handle), and I got $400 for it LNIP (Like New in Pouch);

- I have seen the BM Kris bali's with drilled hanldes sell for $500 -- since yours has the nicer inlays, I'd guess $500-600 (assuming it's in like-new condition);

- The Tarani Strider Karambits show up in the Sales forum here now and agin -- usually in the $250-350 range depending on condition and accessories;

- The Lightfoot (I'm guessing here) is likely in the $300+ range, depending on the value of the rig and the condition of the knife (pic is a bit blurry, so it's hard to tell).

Try searching the Bay and the Sales forum here for comparable sales. Hope that helps.

BTW, welcome to BF!

I cant help you but I just have to say that Ronin is one of the most beautifull knives I've ever seen, I think we all know when you look at a knife and something about it just hits you. I cant even put my finger on what it is,

I'm afraid I'm starting to get more attracted to knives than girls

Sorry to hijack your thread

Rules Violation

I am giving a general word of warning in this thread.....

If you sell, solicit sales, or make offers to buy on BFC you will receive and infraction and you can possibly be banned.

To the OP...you thread sounds like your fishing for sales and offers. A rewording on your part would be HIGHLY suggested so as to not receive an infraction.

And if you want to know about prices the best bet is to either contact the maker or search the net for it's going price but do NOT do that here.
