This is more of a fun thread. When I speak value, I am not speaking sentimental, which I too have one that is extreme in that measure of value. In this case, I am speaking of value in dollar amount. My vote would have to go to the pocket knife that Mr. Abe Lincoln carried and was with him when he was shot. Obviously, this knife being property of the U.S., and kept in a museum, it is not for sale. But, if it were for sale, I imagine the price it would fetch would be downright incredible in terms of pocket knife prices. Anyhow.... what do you good folks believe is, or is on the top of the list for highest price pocket knives in the world? Thanks in advance for your participation :)

Wow.... hahaha.... Now that there represents alot of blades!!! :)

Was just thinking... Even at 1 dollar per blade, those knives have got to be worth, what... maybe $20,000 each, lol! ;)

Jimmy,
Interesting Thread.

Rinos,
Imagine the cuts while dusting or oiling those.

Yeah, cleaning these knives could definitely be a dangerous task... and any museum curator would have to receive some sort of extra hazard pay, lol! ;) I never seen these knives before rinos posting them here... They gave me a laugh and a smile :)
 
It was one of those multi tools that are not folders. Was being used to make adjustment on thr rover, wasen't attached to it's tether and slipped, flew off. Never to be seen again.
 
That C Gray Taylor knife is a beauty! :)
As for the knife lost at the moon... finding it and selling it... Well, it would surely bring an "astronomical" price! LOL! ;)
 
I studied the C. Gray Taylor ( Ultimate Gentleman's Knife ), and I realize that is is most likely not a user.
Nice blade and tool arrangement. I am wondering if anyone would know what the tool that is wrapped with
( tape ?) is and also the serrated tool next to the screwdriver are ?
My quess is a covered file ? and the second one ?

Not sure, but I think the one covered with tape is a nail file/cuticle tool. Don't have a clue about the other one.
 
I know this isn't exactly what you were referring to, but for me, the most valuable traditional knife is my grandfathers old Schrade Walden, that I got after he passed away.
There isn't enough money anywhere, for me to even think about selling it
 
There's no tape, it's just hard to show the file work on the cuticle blade. The long one next to the screwdriver (or turnscrew) is an awl.
