I've stopped collecting knives a while back, so I'd appreciate a little help.

I have the following knives.
1) Black Jack (Applegate / Fairbairn Dagger)
2) Benchmade 975S (With the Emerson and Benchmade Logos)
3) REKAT Hobbit Warriors
4) REKAT Pikuni (Simonich Design and Logo)
5) REKAT Sifu (Blade Forums Limited Edition #8 out of 75)
6) Vicorinox "Mauser" Green Swiss Army Knife
7) Gerber Mark 2 and Guardian 2 Daggers
8) Cold Steel Master Tanto (San Mai Serial #494)
9) REKAT Gijan Warriors and Training Knife


I was thinking of perhaps selling them in the future, but I don't know where to find the current collector's values. Does anyone know of a Good Book of Production Knife Values?

I know that most of the knives I own, are no longer in production, so I'd appreciate any help that I can get. :cool:
 
Unforunately, most tactical production knives do not fall nto the "collector" bracket. However for those that do collect these, they do have value, but you will not find values of these in any given knife collector's value book.

Now as far as the Victorinox mauser, in mint condition you may get around 35-40 dollars for it, if your lucky.

The gerber mark 2, depends on the year of manufacture, if its newer probably in the area of 30-45 dollars in mint. The gaurdian 2 around 30-40 dollars.

The cold steel tanto, I would not consider it to be a "collector's" knife (no insult intended of course).

Of course these prices are subjective. Condition and whatever a person is willing to pay, comes down to the value.
 
Rev. Thank you for your reply, and for your advise. I'll keep checking Amazon.com every once in a while. Perhaps someone will publish a book on tactical knife values, someday.

I don't expect to get rich from my knife collecting hobby.
(THAT'S IF I DECIDE TO SELL) because that's not the reason for collecting them. I collect knives because they are a work of art. For example, take a mint REKAT Sifu, Hobbit Warrior, Pikuni, and Pocket Hobbit. These knives are getting harder and harder to find. As for a mint Benchmade / Emerson tactical folder, they're as rare as rare could be.
Subsequently, I am very glad that I purchased them when I did.
Who knows, one day when we're all long gone, someone will open up a chest in my attic and find a priceless collection?



;)
 
The Sifu and BM/Emerson aren't all that rare, even mint. The Hobbits, on the other hand, can bring a relatively nice price even used. REKAT was cool :D

I have to disagree with Esav a little bit.
Most Sifus get sold right away. I can't vouch for their rarity, but you never see them on eBay anymore. (as far as I can tell) People who like them, LOVE them, and you'll get a respectable (if not great) price.
 
Gerber MK II should bring $100-$150 depending on condition and date of manufacture. Guardian MK II somewhat less, again depending on condition. Blackjack AF about $100 in mint condition with box and no crack around the thong hole. I have seen REKAT Hobbits advertized in the $250-$350 range. Sanmai Master Tanto in like new condition should bring $100-$150. Its pretty much what the buyer is willing to pay. REKAT and Blackjack are out of business and Gerber has discontinured the MKII series so they fall into the "collectible" catagory.
