As a knife guy I am a little ashamed to say that I have never heard of that knife, but it is extremely cool. I wish you luck finding a buyer.

Haha, same here! I mostly collect cooking and pocket knives, but after helping my mom with some painting she told me she found it in some old boxes her dad left her when he died and she gave it to me also not knowing what it was. I thought it was some cheap, whatever knife until I looked it up. I could probably find a better price elsewhere, but I'd rather someone who actually wants it for its history gets it first.

Yeah, much better that someone that cares about it gets that little piece of history. I couldn't justify spending that much for a collector piece or I would be all over it. I have a knife collection, but I collect knives the same way I collect coins, which is to naturally come across something cool and add it to the collection. The only knives I have ever bought are my pocket knife, my skinning knife and my kitchen knives and that is only because they all get used and abused and I would never subject my collection knives to that.

Definitely. For your definition of collecting, I do that for playing cards. I always get two decks of the same design, one to put in a sleeve, and one to actually use and enjoy.
