Joe,

You know there are more knives out there without the provenance, than there are with. More transactions of knife sales without, than with.

Sure, it's an added bonus when you can have that, but I wouldn't want to discourage someone from purchasing a knife simply because it didn't have a paperwork trail following it.

The quoted statement above is about as good advice as can be given.
