Where do your knives go when your gone?

[T. Erdelyi]

Riding on the heels of my other thread, "What knife do you want buried with you"

I started wondering, if ya can't, or don't want to take it with you, what are you gonna do with them when your dead?

Pass them out to my nephews.

Everything I have goes to my wife when I kick-off.

My son, my wife, what's the difference. Right now, either one wouldn't know what to do with them, and would probably sell the whole collection for $10. I'm holding out hope for my boy. He's only 7, so he still has to go through the 'do real stupid things to really nice knives' phase. Perhaps I'll just give him some of them in a few years to get that over with.

He is only six, but I have already started teaching him the importance of a good tool. He likes to "look" at my collection when he gets the chance and knows he will never ever get them if he "looks" without me there.

He doesn't know it yet, but he already has his own Buck 110 with custom carry rig done by his grandpa for when he is older.

They will go to my wife if she out lives me or my son if she doesn'e. I would like them to stay in the family, but it will be up to the person that inherits them to make that decision.

I've been thinking about making a post about this myself.

Here is my idea: Person A sells knife "shares" of their collection to person B.
A can use the share money for whatever they want. B then inherits the collection when A passes on.

Why this is a win/win: The knives go to someone who would appreciate them, the share seller raises funds against their collection that they can use immediately. An interesting effect is that if A uses the share money to offset the aquisition cost, they could "bootstrap" their collection to ever higher values by continuing to sell shares of their new knives.

Also interestingly one could sell/buy shares on an exchange where their values would rise and fall due to various influences kind of like the stock market.

You could also have knife "mutual funds" where several investers pooled thier money across several share sellers. There would be "fund investors" they guaged what the current and future values of collections are worht.

I think this is a cool idea, maybe I'm weird.


This could work another way. Let's say seller of shares a single knife A, decides to sell knife itself. The holder of the share for knife A could then offere to buy knife A at (price - Share price) or retrieve the price of their share when the knife was sold to someone else if the holder of the share decided not to buy it.

Dave I figured you'd just incorperate yours into one big passaround, everybody on BFC can have them for 3 days than send them next name on the list, in the end we'll all have a raffle based on the IQ of the current Govenor of CA, and the person closest to that # gets the knives, wadda ya think?

They'd go to my best friend who has allready made several attemps on my life to get his hands on them
