Thanks for the offer, but think I'll contact State Farm instead.

I have no desire to sell my knives--I love the workmanship and they will hopefully be a part of my estate. But as such, I wanted a good inventory and, if appropriate, adequate insurance. I know very little about the handmade knife market and was searching the web for information when I found this site. I have no idea if older Bose knives are worth more or less than newer ones. Mine are all 15-20 years old and I think the one I carry in my pocket daily has been there since 1990.

Would love to send pictures, but I'm very low-tech. Don't even own a digital camera, except the one in my cell phone which I don't know how to use. I love the pictures I've seen on this site. Beautiful knives. Maybe I can find a rich relative with a camera...

Thanks again, Gerald
