I like that number...
I need to update my data after some selling, buying, and trading:
Total number of knives in collection: 18
Total cost to acquire: $9605
9605 divided by 18 = $533.61 average cost
Full disclosure, the two knives I currently have my eye on are only going to raise the average. My freaking tastes are getting pretty expensive! haha

Average cost $89.80.
Least expensive $10.00. An old worn out Wostenholm that I bought at a flea market. Both blades are sharpened down to toothpicks.
Whenever I see a knife with a blade like that I always wonder:
1.) Is that a knife that has been retired after having gone through many, many years of trustful use?
or
2.) Has it just been kept in someones dirty workshop, used for whatever and then sharpened with a bench grinder whenever needed, taking off a fifth of the blade every time?

The majority of my purchases over the last two years are less than 150 dollars and many less than 100 dollars as I usually buy high value knives on sale. My average cost per knife for the five or six dozen in my collection is between 100 and 150 dollars. And that includes two Hinderers, one Strider, and a Sebenza. Oh, and my most expensive, a William Henry I received as a gift.
