Collectors,,

I belong to a couple knife blogs and it continuously amazes me what people will pay for knives and the extent of their collections.

example:

A fellow on the Randall blog, started a thread about his new Stag handle Randall. Shortly another post a picture of 12 various models of Stag handled Randalls. With costs running 800-1200 USD that was a 10K USD picture, But it was only his Stag Randalls

On another blog, it's 90% folders. I can't fathom owning a Grimsmo Norseman
940, 1100 USD,, for my EDC???

Granted, handmade knives intail artistic craftsmanship. They are things of beauty, but some people go to extremes.

I suspect now that the outside world is aware that the serialized Yarborough is not being given to the grads, there is a sense of urgency to buy what may be a very limited item.
