I know some people are particular about second-hand knives. That means they don't collect knives that have been used by others.
Only mint condition or unused knives for these folks.
Frankly, I don't mind second-hand knives if I find them interesting or belonging to the rare category.
It's true that most second-hand knives do show some wear and tear signs. Some blades on these knives have been sharpened so often over the years that they are slightly misshapened.
I have a second-hand knife which belonged to my grand-father who died about 50 years ago. It is an ordinary penknife made in Germany. I believe the brand is Tokapi or something that sounds like that.
My grand-father was a hunter. Even though the knife is worn and sad-looking, it holds a lot of memories for me. Before I was born, my grand-father had already gone over to the other side.
That is one reason why I don't mind second-hand knives.
