knives value

Post by Scotchman »

Value of 50's Latama 11" horn stiletto with badly sharpened/ground blade? Value of my 60's 11" horn Inox stiletto (the one Bill repaired)?

Hi Scott...I've read that sharpening a switchblade is one of, if not the, worst thing one can do. I understand it decreases the value drastically.

Chris I agree with you, I would love to have a Walts/ Latama (too much money for my wallet). The knife mentioned they want $500.00.

...I'm fairly sure that would apply to any. I've seen some beautiful, vintage knives that appeared loved and in brand new condition. Then, others, where the blade was sharpened down to an ice pick. Though, I'm sure, that in the 1950's when the owner bought the knife for $10, they never considered the item would be as valuable as it is today.

I want to make sure that I don't make the same mistake.

Also I am hoping someone could tell me what my 60's knife would be worth if I decided to sell it.
