I Spent £70 on 10 Mystery Knives – What Did I Get?
Published: 14 hours ago
I picked up a job lot of 10 knives for £70 to see if they are treasure or trash. Let's see what is worth saving.
Buying a job lot is a staple of knife collecting, but it is always a gamble. I am sorting through these ten pieces to find the gems and separate them from the scrap metal that needs to be left behind.
We will look at the condition of each blade and perform a quick knife evaluation to see if the £70 investment paid off. Some of these pocket knives are great finds that just need a little care, while others are clearly past their prime.
Let me know in the comments: would you have paid £70 for this batch?
