Thanks for sharing the information. I very recently started actively collecting knives and I am just now learning about the Case/Bose relationship. That probably sounds a bit weird in this forum.

I understand lots of people try to figure out what kind of knife will be good to buy that will increase in value so they can get a good return in their investment. The problem with that philosophy is that it's nearly impossible to guess what will increase in value. I'm going to go with what a wise man told me; "Buy what you like. That way, if it doesn't increase in value you won't be mad because you'll still have something you like."
