Custom Knife on EBay

I recently attended a auction in Los Angeles of various items. the auction was also "live" on ebay. One item really caught my attention it was a custom knife (dagger) made by Von Dutch, which sold for $20,700 including the buyers premium of 20% My question is what gives? There was spirited bidding from numerious bidders with a final total of over 60 bids. It is ebay item #6626983717 Any comments would be appreciated.

This had little to do with knives and lots to do with hot rods and California. Lots of material on Google. A. G.
