::groove:: In short, if cared for good knives have value. Unused do bring more than used. In addition appreciation over time factors in. My trap line muskrat as shown above was well cared for and the above photo was taken to list it after 20+ years of service. As you can see it still had quite a bit of blade left however the celluloid handles show shrinkage. It brought about what I originally paid for it. The as new stag sowbelly brought more than the original price again some 20+ years had passed though. The fixed blades shown were very limited production and escalated rapidly in value in a matter of weeks. The call is yours to purchase for use or maximum investment. Factor in time and in my experience either choice proves a winner.
