Can't take it with you! You either use it and enjoy it or it goes somewhere after you are gone.I feel the same way about money!![]()
yeah, to some hoser's trust fund!Can't take it with you! You either use it and enjoy it or it goes somewhere after you are gone.
Or donate it. Or have the state seize it all. Whatever the case may be you're not using it anymore. And nothing wrong with a trust fund, I'm sure there are many on here who have one. Heck, I hope to leave my son a sizable inheritance. Just need to keep buying lotto tickets...yeah, to some hoser's trust fund!
Is this gospel?Next weeks sale
We will have a few AEBL Utility Fighters on our forum in one week.

no disrespect to trust funders in general, of course, (well, maybe a couple...)Or donate it. Or have the state seize it all. Whatever the case may be you're not using it anymore.

I think this will answer your question.How does AEBL compare to Delta 3v?
Is it just me or have you guys noticed that prices of CPK on the exchange have come back out of the nose bleed section and are approaching "reasonable" again?
There are several sales recently for close to original pricing. An original FK is on the exchange for a good deal less than they have been sold for, and it is a relist.
I attribute this to CPK getting some decent volume out there and I see this all as a good thing! I sincerely hope this means team CPK are the primary beneficiaries of the sales of their knives and they are finally getting to the levels of production they want. I am sure the quieter secondary market is NOT because of any perceived diminishing quality or some other negative view.
I think it's a combination of both.Tony, I think that the majority of these recent cases had knives for sale that "had only been used to cut cardboard" or "hardly used", etc, enough anyway to show the minor marks on the blade that an unused one won't have - and IMHO many people are coming around to the fact that any use of a knife, at least in the eyes of a collector, means an indeterminate loss of value if the blade shows any kind of use marks at all - in these cases still not down to the initial sale cost. Result - untouched knives will sell, when used knives will sell for less.
