At KnifePurveyor, collecting custom knives is our passion. We understand that for many of us, our hobby is a family affair. However, our families often have little interest in our collections, and even less knowledge of their potential value. While we may know our collections intimately, what about your potential heirs?

Make no mistake, your knives can represent an important part of your net worth. Sadly, we often hear of collections being sold for mere pennies on the dollar by other vendors. Luckily, you can avoid this unfortunate reality with a KnifePurveyor appraisal.

After a thorough review, you can feel confident knowing that your custom knife collection will be sold properly and fairly. The KnifePurveyor team will carefully manage the sale of your collection, ensuring your heirs are properly compensated.

The appraisal, conducted by leading custom knife industry expert Michael Donato will provide you with:

  • A detailed inventory and photographic record of your collection
  • Current market value determination
  • An exit strategy for your collection
  • Pre-negotiated terms to facilitate the smooth sale of your knives for your heirs
  • A letter of intent for your estate planning

You can use a KnifePurveyor appraisal to showcase your collection, serve as documentation for insurance purposes, and let your family know where to turn for help if they need it. A completed appraisal also allows us to easily and quickly offer your knives for resale to our clientele when you or your designated representative decide to sell them. This appraisal locks in our lowest commission of 22% should you choose to sell these knives through us. Upon consignment of your knives, we will provide a free, updated appraisal to reflect their current fair market value and demand.

We take great care to accurately showcase and inventory your collection. We are always available to you and your family to discuss your custom knife needs and look forward to your continued patronage.

Lord, please don’t let my wife sell my knives for what I told her I paid for them.
