Well, its been 15 years since my post above. I now have 122 Van Adestine knives in my Collection / Study and I am still offering a handsome finders fee to anyone that finds me a knife to buy. I have written 3 books and have a few books left if anyone is interested. The books are a great references for locating my knives.
