Gun Trader's Guide to Collectible Knives

Book excerpt: The Gun Trader’s Guide is the standard reference for collectors, curators, dealers, shooters, and gun enthusiasts, and now is extending their influence to collectible knives. Focusing mainly on old and out of production knives, the Gun Trader’s Guide to Collectible Knives is the ideal gift for any knife enthusiast looking to start a collecting of their own. Parts of the guide will focus on the following: • How and where to start your collection • The value of knives and how to determine their value • How to work knife shows • How to care for older knives Each knife featured will have its own short description and will be divided by grade (very good, good, fine, etc.). Fitting in with the Gun Trader’s Guide series, this guide will be updated every few years to accommodate the changing market.
