Love your collection. I had one back in the 90s that got stolen from me. And have searched for a true benchmade every since. Found my 1st one last year at a swapmeet in Missouri the #67. These things are hard to find. Especially now I moved back to California. I cant even find a shop to do a professional cleaning and sharpening. Mine sat in my gun locker for about 6 months and has a couple small black dots on the blade.😭

My problem with knives (I own 60+ now, with ~50 being $100 or more) is that I’m not a tactile person...EXCEPT with knives. Nearly every knife I’ve bought is something I love to fiddle around with in my hands. The only ones I don’t like are some of my early purchases that aren’t worth the trouble I’d have to go through to sell them.
@TripleEEDC4 жыл бұрын
I go through the same thing every time I go to sell knives. I just have to remind myself I don’t have infinite funds to pump out videos and do giveaways so I have to sell. And then the culling happens and I cry in the corner for two weeks. But eventually I’ll get over it...right?

I actually have an idea, instead of selling knives, trade them for a short period of time. Others can try out your knives for a month and you can try theirs and neither of you has to spend money. You can also buy them off each other after that month if both sides prefer their borrowed knives.

So to help, the 51, barebones, and the tach 3s honestly aren't worth selling to secondary market, they don't get any sort of good prices second hand, unless you sell all at once, they're stuff you might as well keep if you're only gonna sell one. The hom, ab, rep and petrel are sadly the only ones that'll drive decent prices which kinda sucks
@lazi214 жыл бұрын
For me as a newbie it's important to compare balis and because I don't know people who own some I have to buy and sell until I found my holy grail. Example: Tang vs. zen pins? Bushings vs bearings? Sandwich vs. channel design? Do I need a pocketclip? After figuring all that out the question remains where to get something affordable that has everything that I want... And that is legal in my country (Germany)... Aaaaarh!
