I guess you could say I have two "types" that I have started collecting. The first is vintage Kutmaster knives. The second is a much broader genre....Older advertising knives. In advertising, I prefer agriculture (feed & seed). But if the styling is unique or the advertiser's name is funny or unique, I'm not gonna rule it out, regardless of the type business that's on the knife.<br />

So if it's and advertising knife, and made by Kutmaster...I want it!!

I believe that's tied to what makes the particular collector tick .. I like novel locking systems .. I like good steel .. I also like stampings w/ historical significance ... ....<br />
<br />
So my collection is not centered around any one particular knife manufacturer or model .. I have a 19th century scalpel w/ ringlock next to a 2010 linerlock w/D2 blade steel.<br />
<br />
.. so much depends on the passions of the collector.

Thanks Jim. What makes knives tick for new collectors (and all others probably) is very subjective. Some are into function over form- especially the users. For me, I rarely have hard knife use, so I tend to be more of a collector- therefore I got with form mostly. In some cases, I consider resaleablity- in which case, I have to look hard a price/value before I buy that cool looking knife. Some types have soft resale markets. Others have a more mature secondary market, so I check values there,…
