Current collection...

Very nice collection.
Now, the Barry WOOD knives, I LIKE MORE. I hope to have one, sooner or later. What prices are they?

"What prices are they?"

Depends on the model and condition. I've paid anywhere from $100 to $1200 for them. There are a few Wood/Loveless that were made in the 70's. Blades were ground by Steve Johnson when he worked under Loveless. They sell in the $12,000 range.
 
Absolutely fantastic!

If you have a chance to take a pic or two of the Stag knife in the top pic, middle row, 3rd from the top, I would love a closer look......;)
 
Acquired several more knives this year...

Here are my Barry Wood knives...

The collection is looking better than ever!:):thumbup:
 
I just got seven more Barry Wood folders in the mail today... my birthday present to myself.

Top three are very rare EXPERIMENTAL models, sometimes referred to as "Holy Wonder" models.

Bottom two have titanium frames... also very rare.

All were made in the mid '70's
