Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

[rio]

I was a collector of knives sense I was very young, spending the summers in Spain we always carry a folder or some fixed blades, I also was part of the OJE, similar to the boyscouts and we always had an axe and a fixed blade, when I moved to NY as a teenager I discover the nyc Crown Plaza knife shows, there I've meet tons of knifenuts collectors, makers, dealers etc…I owned a knife forum for a few years but facefkk came and that all went to hell, I 've meet a knifemaker BillT who lived closed t me and slowly we became friends and mentor, I stop collecting and now I make them, I do not take orders or anything like that for it is a hobby so far. You can see my page in IG raul_vizoso . This is  a pic of some of the knives I collected, I had thousands of knives in my hands , meet a lot makers that I see posted here and some on that show Forge on Fire show.

@neph93
It depends, like everything it very's on the market and collectors as well as the shape they are in, sometimes the market is hot and they move for a high price and right now the whole market is slow so you might find some for a decent price.

There are a few very well known specific models that are very expensive, but otherwise, no.

No Randall's, they are build like tanks but only the big dagger model is one that I like.
