What will happen to your collection when your six foot under?

I have instructions in my will to do research on the BF Exchange, but THIS ^^^ is a great idea! :thumbup:

I have no kids, and don't plan to, so I have to come up with a different "endgame" for mine. I figure that my #27's are going with me as well as my snakeskin OD, "Just In Case You CAN Take Them With You" ;). The collection will probably be offered to remaining family & friends first, and then sold off...but I think that I would like to amend this to remaining blades sold (after offered to friends & family, of course) to interested HOGs first, and then listed on the X openly. Being as my collection is ummm...rather large, I'll probably start to thin the herd dramatically before shuffling off to the afterlife.

I will take it with me (at least 1) :D


My kids, will keep the ones they want, have wanted.


Then they'll contact some preselected, trusted Hogs of the Round Trough to help liquidate the remainder, at fair market. They have the list :foot: .......


..... are you on it :confused:;)
 
I am still very young, and don't have kids. The plan would be to pass them down to the kids but if for some unfortunate accident I die today, the blades would be split up between my wife (she really likes the SW waki) my dad, and my 2 buddies.

I would hope that whomever gets them after I die will keep them and think of me whenever they are using the knives and not turn around and sell them for a profit.
 
My collection goes to... My Daughter. :cool:

Except for the Ganzaa #70 DSF; that one will be burried with me! :eek:;):D
 
Wow this thread does make you think, I have seen this over the years older guys selling off stuff or they change interest, maybe go into beanie baby's , and sell everything.

It really makes you think.

Sure my son is into knives & has even worked & earned to pay for a few of his Busse's, but I wonder if he would rather buy his own than get my few when I go ?

I guess I would divide them up amongst Close family & close friends, maybe a Big Buy Brown give-a-way ?

Or sell them all & buy Nancy a nice house & Polly Anna a guided cage :D

Oh well off to the exchange ;)

to see who is selling or buying
 
seems lots of you really
ARE gonna"take it with you"
right on! :thumbup:






































I know what I'll be doing later in life

I think you should adopt some poor unfortunate soul before you pass........that way you can pass on your wisdom and INFI to some one who will appreciate it.........


I have always felt like you were a father figure to me..............can I call you "Dad"? It just feels right.
 
Fug...you go dig...I am going to the Wake and catch em before they hit the ground!!!!
 
Word to the wise gents- DO NOT i repeat DO NOT "take it with you." If you think for one second that anything valuable such as a beloved watch or blade will even make it to your final resting site-your nuts. Seriously-any reputable and honest funeral home-etc will actually deter the family from doing so. Been in this situation more times then I'd like. Unfortunately-this is the world we live in-same world where we all buy weapons and knives for self defense. Seriously-give the money to family-dieing is very expensive you know.
 
I'll probably leave everything I own to my closest friends' kids. They are welcome to do whatever they want with them, to make them happy. I expect they'll each keep a few they like and find useful, and sell the rest.

When we buried my brother, they let us put stuff in the casket with him on site. I know for a fact the things we put in there were in fact buried with him. I watched it.
 
I was just thinking about this question when pondering my "stuff" the other night. I don't like to ruminate about accidental or premature death, but everyone should prepare. Maybe I'll take my own advice someday. No kids, no extended family to speak of.

The ideas above about using a HOG directory and BF instructions are in line with what I was thinking. I will make an album containing pics, model and description, and approximate dollar value of each knife and other expensive toys about whose value my wife would otherwise be clueless. Then, she could easily verify market value and find buyers in the relevant places/web sites. If she expires before I do, I suppose my estate would be auctioned off like we see on many web sites, and proceeds directed to a prescribed charity.

No 6-feet for me. I'll be incinerated.

Happy thoughts!
 
reading these, it just hit me for those charity minded: how many of our military personal in combat MOS fields could use a Busse..
 
If I were to die tomorrow they would go to my oldest son, who is 3, in trust of my wife. She knows they are special knives, and I'm sure that she would make sure he understands too before he did anything with them.
 
I won't be 6' under. I'm gettin' torched and then I want what INFI I have to be made into an INFI urn.
 
My Busse's knives will be buried in several different places all over the world-these won't be easy to get to so be prepared...(example: one will be buried on top of Mount Everest). The treasure map will include GPS coordinates as well as drawn out maps in case the satellites aren't working. The map packet will be hidden in a triton nuclear missile compound on my dead body where funeral home rules do not apply. The compound will be located in ($%@^#-encoded) and the map pak will be tied around my left (**&## -encoded). Good luck to all of you. Hint: the map pak will be in HOG letters so if your not a HOG, don't waste your time.;):rolleyes:
