Doctorofwar Posted June 20, 2020 Share #3 Posted June 20, 2020 Record price for a Kinfolks? (If there is anyone out there tracking such things...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt14k Posted June 20, 2020 Share #4 Posted June 20, 2020 I paid $65 not that long ago for the same knife in nice condition too. Also with a Kinfolks sheath but one that wasn't restitched. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sactroop Posted June 20, 2020 Share #5 Posted June 20, 2020 It does seem to me that there is a trend over the last couple of years where rarity and condition are attracting higher and higher prices. When demand for especially WW2 items seemed to be peaking in the early 2000's, just getting good examples seemed kind of high then. Now it looks like many who feel they have the money to spend are looking to upgrade what they already have or are interested in acquiring. IMHO, the demand for the more "been there done that" sort of examples doesn't seem to be as high these days. It still shows that it only takes two who are really looking for a certain item to drive the price up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hochiminhtrail Posted June 20, 2020 Share #6 Posted June 20, 2020 the higher price is also coming because with the internet, it s attracting international bidders, maybe not with blades because of custom regulations, but many collectors in Europe are collecting US military.

Edge Weapons arent a problem in most European countries. The weaker dollar vs the Euro does drive prices up.
